I can see Gabbard being finished with her candidacy before Super Tuesday if not on Super Tuesday.

I doubt it. There are too many kooks and hardliners in the party that like to hear themselves talk. They won't leave until they are forced out because they want to set the stage for their next campaign whatever that may be.

Here's exactly how Michael Bloomberg is surging

Michael Bloomberg soared into second place nationally in a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll released Monday morning, a stunning surge fueled by hundreds of millions of ads funded by the billionaire former mayor of New York City.

She presented well last night on CNN. I'm not counting her out yet. My guess is Sanders' lead scares the hell out of the DEM leadership, and they don't want Bloomberg, but they'll take his money. Buttigeg can't win, so that leaves Amy.

With the current field of clowns the Democrats won't win.
 
Supporting Bloomberg after Trump is like voting for Tory after Ford. You'll get stability, but you're still voting for a conservative. You'll get a Mitt Romney.

So I'm dismayed by the love for Bloomberg. He's a Republican. He's responsible for stop and frisk. He couldn't be bothered to run in four states, he hasn't shown up to debates, instead spending hundreds of millions of his own dollars in a bid to sweep Super Tuesday.

What a turd.

He may be a Purple Democrat but he is better than the bordering on communist Bernie and the longshot candidates who only want to hear themselves talk.

Trump seems certain to win if the dems go I to civil war.

Jesus, Bloomberg is getting smoked in this debate. He had no ready answer for why several of his own female employees have signed NDA after allegations of sexual impropriety.

And Bernie wins in Nevada- let's see how things turn out on Super Tuesday.

Bernie is nice enough and offers a utopian vision in these trying times, but his potential staffing is what's scary.

Who will his advisors be? His Vice President? He will need their help in office- and considering his age and health issues, they may be more powerful than he is.

At worst, we'll see some half-hearted & poorly-implemented attempts at socialism + neo-Tammany Hall-style political/economic corruption, and further moves towards a pink police state. US capital will not allow socialism to exist in the US, and they'll be more than happy to push the latter as a release valve (and bougie progressive folks will lap it up).

I can't see Bernie beating Trump. November's contest will see America's six hundred billionares, nearly 20 million millionaires and every common American who thinks he has a shot of becoming one rise up in a massive campaign. Meanwhile the US economy is booming. Trump's got this locked if Bernie wins the Dem nomination.

As for his VP, it's an important question. Bernie will likely have a second and perhaps fatal heart attack within the next 2-4 years. Warren might accept the role if she thinks Bernie might expire early and give her a shot. Basically that's the appeal of being Bernie's VP candidate, a chance to get to the presidency early, or at least in 2024.
