That's like the old joke about the enlightened Buddhist that goes up to a hot dog vender and says, ""Make me one with everything.". When did Williamson drop out? Time is meaningless and her state of being has been and always will be both in and out of the race at all times. Also, buy suppliments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I read about Bloomberg, the more this looks like his m.o.: just buy off the small fish for a large amount of money (for us) which the sum total impact to Bloomberg is minimal.

So by the time our primary hits, he has blitzed the state with 2 months of constant ads, while everyone will do what 2 weeks worth? And if you don't pay much attention does some average guy in Gilbert Arizona know who the fuck say the mayor of some city in a state you probably can't find a map anymore is based off his 1 week of ads when you've seen Bloomberg and Trump on tv since the New year? I would say it's like Ross Perot, but Perot at least had some charisma and likability too. Bloomberg is just straight blitzing my state, and I'm sure many others with non stop ads.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Bloomberg has had free rein in the Super Tuesday media markets since the end of last year and it's definitely reflected in the polling data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 5 hours ago, SaysWho? said: Culinary Union in Nevada comes out against Sanders' and Warren's health care plans. Side note: The union did not endorse in 2016's primary (they endorsed Hillary in the general). Sanders has strong union support elsewhere, but Nevada is the next caucus, and I'm reading they're a key union in the state. Sanders responds to them and Buttigieg's comments on Medicare-for-All and the union: Apparently the Bernie Bros are unhappy with this outcome: While I very much understand that unions don't want to lose their hard fought healthcare plans, I'm still surprised that this seems to be their primary point of contention with progressive dems.

Yes, nothing but Bloomberg ads here in Florida. This is in large part of the Citizens United Supreme Court case. There are barely limits to anything. It was actually in the past week-ish that I learned of another case, McCutcheon v. FEC. Quick wiki summary if you don't know about it: "McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, 572 U.S. 185 (2014), is a landmark campaign finance decision of the United States Supreme Court. The decision held that Section 441 of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), which imposed a limit on contributions an individual can make over a two-year period to national party and federal candidate committees, is unconstitutional."
