A couple of thoughts about the current state of the Dem race.
1. This thing is headed for a contested convention, for sure. If Bernie doesn't get the nomination, for any reason, Milwaukee is going up in flames. Right now the Fire Chief and Police Chief are probably sending emails out saying vacations the week of the convention have been cancelled. Do the Dems expect to still carry Wisconsin if the Bernie Bros go crazy?
2. Biden will take PAC money, Bloomberg can self fund. But Bernie is gonna run out of money trying to get the nomination. Since he refuses to take money from billionaires, his only source of funding is gender studies graduates working at Starbucks. Most of them will run out of money to donate in the primaries and far before the $2800 max. And then if he does get the nomination? Trump's massive war chest will bury him with spending in the general.
3. I think Bloomberg actually shored up Biden's support. Once Sleepy Joe started to look not just shaky, but extremely shaky, a lot of his support fled. But after Mini Mike got demolished in his first debate and all the oppo research on him came out, plus Biden's relatively lively debate this week, a lot of people said to themselves, 'It's Biden or nothing.' So I think that shopping around kinda solidified his support.
4. All the Pocahontas fans impressed with her attack on Bloomberg the other day are kidding themselves. They somehow think that proves she would be a formidable opponent for Trump. Yet the 'you said bad things about women' attack that ended Bloomberg is the exact same attack that Trump already proved he can avoid with the famous 'Only Rosie O'Donnell' line. Trump has already beaten her best attack. I do hope they put her up at the convention as a unity candidate though.
5. Clearly Trump is highly favored by God.
