What happens if it gets down to two?

Bernie crushes the competition! 


First and foremost, this is very very very bad news for Mini-Mike, Mayor Pete, and Amy "paint drying" Klobuchar. He actually runs into a bit of a dogfight with Indian Liz and Slow Joe, but if goes into Super Tuesday with the delegate lead, and enough people stick around, he is likely to come out of Super Tuesday with a lead, and then we may see it really winnow down. 

Ironically he does the worst against those who are struggling the most, and the best among those who are doing the best? But bottom line, if YouGov is even somewhat close in this polling, it makes it very, very difficult to see how Bernie the Socialist doesn't head into the convention with the most delegates. 

It also challenges the conventional wisdom that he would be better off running against a plurality of challengers. That being said, with the 15% thresholds, it could serve Bernie well if he pulls his consistent 20-25 in each state.

Democrats need Bloomberg for four reasons.

First, the former New York mayor has done real things. Building a multibillion-dollar business from scratch and ably managing New York City for 12 years are concrete accomplishments. Making speeches and sitting in committee hearings – the core tasks of being in Congress – are no match for what Bloomberg has done.

Second, Bloomberg is not a left-wing ideologue. The last thing Democrats need is a nominee that President Trump can paint as a socialist snowflake. While Bloomberg is surely liberal on a range of issues – gun control and climate change, for instance – his record is more pragmatic than ideological.

Third, competence. Bloomberg knows how to make things run. The Democratic Party – the party of government – needs a standard-bearer who aims to make government not just bigger, but more competent. Democrats have been missing that puzzle piece for a long time.

Fourth, Bloomberg guarantees a first-class campaign. He can fund the entire general election out of petty cash. Two billion? Three billion? Four billion? The money he puts up for the party – which is virtually unlimited – frees up funds for down-ballot Democrats to use in their campaigns. If you’re running for the House, Senate, governor or the state legislature, that matters.

The muddle that is the Democratic race is helping Bloomberg. Joe Biden had been the default candidate. He was available, acceptable and electable. But Biden’s base is cracking up – a recent Quinnipiac poll shows his once-powerful support among black and moderate Democrats nationally has taken a tumble since Iowa.

For Bloomberg, the dissipation of Biden’s candidacy makes room for him to maneuver, especially among moderates, party bosses and African Americans. Bloomberg’s surprising strength in recent polls among black Democrats give him an edge on Buttigieg and Klobuchar.

On November electability, which was Biden’s calling card, Bloomberg is now doing better than other Democrats. The most recent Quinnipiac poll places Bloomberg ahead of Trump by a sizable nine percentage points. The latest Fox News poll has Bloomberg beating the White House occupant by eight points. Even polls that show narrower Democratic margins place Bloomberg in a relatively strong position for November.

Trump Is Key Factor for Voters In ‘Blue Wall’ States

IS THAT GOOD NEWS, OR BAD NEWS?
BAD NEWS FOR TRUMPSTERS, AS IT TURNS OUT.
READ ON.


A new report by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Cook Political Report finds that
41% of voters in the “blue wall” states — Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin —
have not decided who they will support for president in 2020.


The report also found that President Trump is a key factor in motivating voters to turn out.

21%t of voters said that their primary motivation to vote in 2020 is to defeat Trump,

compared to the
8% of voters who said they were motivated by a desire to reelect Trump or to oppose a Democrat.

Key takeaway:
Trump’s disapproval in these states is 59%.

WOW!!!!!!

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

TO REPEAT:

Bloomberg Overtakes Biden In Florida
and is WAY ahead of Bernie!



A new St. Pete Polls survey in Florida shows
Michael Bloomberg leading
the Democratic primary race with 27%,

followed by Joe Biden at 26%,
Pete Buttigieg at 11%,
Bernie Sanders at 10%,
Amy Klobuchar at 9% and
Elizabeth Warren at 5%.

Prosecutors Continue Probe Into Giuliani
February 14, 2020 at 7:03 pm EST

“As the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump drew to a close in Washington earlier this month, federal prosecutors in New York contacted witnesses and sought to collect additional documents in an investigation related to Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani,” the Washington Post reports.

“The recent steps — including an interview with a witness last week — indicate that the probe involving Giuliani and two of his former associates is moving forward, even as the Justice Department has set up a process to evaluate claims Giuliani is making about alleged wrongdoing in Ukraine related to former vice president Joe Biden.”

U.S. Readied Sanctions Then Mysteriously Backed Off
February 14, 2020

Daily Beast:
“Late last year, the U.S. government signaled that it was about to level a new round of sanctions targeting people and entities linked to Deripaska… Back in April 2018, the U.S. sanctioned the oligarch, who once lent millions of dollars to convicted Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort as part of a decades-long relationship between the two men. Over the following months, Deripaska’s allies made a deal with Treasury to limit Deripaska’s control over the companies in exchange for sanctions relief. Then Treasury lifted the sanctions on the companies-—though the sanctions on the oligarch himself are still in place. In the year since then, it’s been all quiet on the Deripaska sanctions front.

“Until December, that is.
What’s strange is that despite the signal, Treasury didn’t follow through and the sanctions—which would have targeted the unnamed people and entities because of their proximity to Deripaska—didn’t materialize. It’s been two months since the U.S. indicated that the new sanctions were about to come out, and there’s been no movement from Treasury on the oligarch. The two months of inaction has stirred suspicions of political interference in the sanctions process.”

So what else is gangsta Trump interfering with now? -- the most corrupt, immoral President we have ever had.

This is the Firing Line interview that convinced me that Michael Bloomberg should be the Democratic candidate for President.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

See the video I linked above.

What we need now is to see Bloomberg up on the stage with other Democratic candidates, presenting a compelling case for his candidacy. We need to experience the man as he is, to get to know him better, to see him in action, defending or abandoning his past policies, explaining how and why he's changed his mind and showing why he's the man for this moment. That will result, I think, in a massive voter movement uniting behind him to defeat Donald Trump.

And when Americans see him on a stage with Trump, it will be EASY to decide who should be President and who definitely should NOT BE.

Mike will hold his own with that would be bully, as is made clear in this tweet exchange:

TRUMP TWEETS TO BLOOMBERG:
“Mini Mike is a 5’4” mass of dead energy who does not want to be on the debate stage with these professional politicians. No boxes please. He hates Crazy Bernie and will, with enough money, possibly stop him. Bernie’s people will go nuts!”

BLOOMBERG TWEETS RIGHT BACK:
“Donald Trump — you and I know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals & incompetence. I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.”

And he will!

Pompeo Secretly Met Russian Foreign Minister

“U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday in an encounter the American side apparently wanted to keep under wraps,” Politico reports.

“The State Department made no announcement of the meeting, which took place in Lavrov’s own dedicated meeting room at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, where the major annual conference of politicians, policymakers and security experts is held. Pompeo’s aides also did not provide any readout after the meeting ended.”

The Washington Post
Opinions
Sally Yates: Trump thinks the Justice Department is his personal grudge squad

Editor’s note: The opinions in this article are the author’s, as published by our content partner, and do not necessarily represent the views of MSN or Microsoft.

Sally Yates served as deputy attorney general from January 2015 to January 2017.

YATES:
The imperative of Justice Department independence from political influence has deep roots. After the Watergate scandal, Attorney General Griffin Bell sought to reestablish Justice’s independence and ensure that the department would be “recognized by all citizens as a neutral zone, in which neither favor nor pressure nor politics is permitted to influence the administration of the law.” The nation had lost faith in the Justice Department and the rule of law, so during the Carter administration Bell instituted strict limits on communications between the White House and Justice to prevent any “outside interference in reaching professional judgment on legal matters.”

Since Bell’s tenure, attorneys general in Democratic and Republican administrations alike have issued largely similar policies to adhere to the course Bell mapped for the department to live up to its promise of impartial justice. All have observed a “wall” between the White House and the Justice Department on criminal cases and investigations. While it is appropriate to communicate about administration policies and priorities, discussion with the White House about specific criminal cases has traditionally been off-limits. Presidents and department leaders from both parties have recognized that for case decisions to have legitimacy, they must be made without political influence — whether real or perceived. Implementation of these restrictions has not always been perfect, but the department’s independence has remained honored and unquestioned.

Until now.

While the policy is ostensibly still in effect, it is a hollow ode to bygone days. From virtually the moment he took office, President Trump has attempted to use the Justice Department as a cudgel against his enemies and as a shield for himself and his allies. He ran off Jeff Sessions after Sessions’s recusal in the Russia investigation rendered Sessions useless to protect him. The president has attempted to order up investigations of his perceived political enemies and enlist the department to protect his friends. With every blow, the wall of Justice independence has wobbled a bit more. This week, it teetered on the verge of collapse.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

The facts are well known: After federal prosecutors in the Roger Stone case filed the department’s sentencing memorandum, the president publicly attacked Justice’s position as “horrible and very unfair.” He called for prosecution of the “real crimes … on the other side,” a mantra that has become so commonplace from him that it goes largely without comment. The prosecutors were ordered by Justice Department leadership to significantly cut their recommendation; they refused, and all four resigned from the case, with one quitting his job entirely.

This is not how the department is supposed to operate.
Back-and-forth between prosecutors and department leadership about a high-profile matter is not itself unusual. But for Justice leadership to order the reversal of a publicly filed sentencing recommendation in a politically sensitive case is unprecedented. As a close friend of the president who was convicted of lying and obstructing justice in the investigation of the president’s campaign, Roger Stone couldn’t be more intertwined with the president. Politicization of the department doesn’t hinge on whether the president’s wishes are articulated, though with Trump they frequently are. Regardless of whether the decision to reverse the prosecutors was made before the president tweeted, action in anticipation of the president’s reaction is as dangerous as action in response to it.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Moreover, the sentencing reversal wasn’t an isolated incident. It followed a disturbing trend that includes: a four-page memorandum distorting the findings of the Mueller investigation and gratuitously absolving the president of obstruction of justice; a public rejection of the Justice Department inspector general’s findings regarding the propriety of opening the Russia investigation; repeated echoing of the president’s politically charged rhetoric undermining law enforcement and the intelligence community; and the president’s personal lawyer being set up with a special avenue to funnel dirt to the department about the president’s political rival.

After the four prosecutors resigned from the Stone case, Trump viciously attacked them, took a swing at the sentencing judge (perhaps laying the groundwork for a pardon), accused former special counsel Bob Mueller of committing perjury and then congratulated the attorney general for “taking charge of a case that was totally out of control.”.

In response to the ensuing public firestorm, department leadership complained that the president’s tweets were making things difficult for them, but it is the career prosecutors whom Trump continues to malign.

Tellingly, the president responded Friday, rejecting the long tradition of Justice Department independence. He insisted that he could direct criminal cases in the midst of protesting that he hasn’t, revealing yet again that he regards the department as his personal grudge squad.


The Justice Department is not a tool of any president to be used for retribution or camouflage. In all of government, the Justice Department uniquely functions in a trusted bond with Americans to dispense justice without fear or favor. Over the almost three decades that I served at the department, through Democratic and Republican administrations, I witnessed lawyers across the country embracing their responsibility to do their jobs in a manner that engendered the trust of the people they served. That is what it means to represent the people of the United States.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

I withdraw what I said. It was misinformed. Here is better clarification, from Quora:
________________
Why did President Obama fire every US Ambassador appointed by President Bush the day he took office?

Mark Binfield: It’s completely normal and expected for newly-elected Presidents to replace all the politically-appointed Ambassadors with their own people. President Trump did it when he took office in 2017, just like President Obama did when he took office in 2009, and like every other President in the modern era.

It’s not unusual for an incoming administration to allow one or two politically-appointed ambassadors to stay in place for a few months of the new administration. Exceptions are typically granted as a courtesy for family reasons, for example to allow an Ambassador’s young children to finish the school year without having to change schools. But such exceptions are not a guarantee - political appointees get their appointments because they are political supporters of a particular President. They can have no expectation that a new administration with a different President will allow them to remain in their job. When President Trump fired all the political ambassadors from the Obama administration in 2017, he did not grant any such exceptions. This was noted as unusual at the time, but it was well within President Trump’s rights as a new President.

It is not reasonable to expect that any President would want their representative to a foreign government to be a political appointee of a different President, especially a President of the opposite party. Ambassadors who are career foreign service officers are a completely different story.* They get their positions through long years of service to the country under multiple Presidents, and they are normally retained when a new President enters office.
