A piece in The Bulwark gives us another political neologism, as if we had enough to deal with in designated “more conservative”, “more moderate”, “less liberal”, and even anti-progressive Democrats. At their margins they may be responsible for the Democratic losses in Congress even as Trump has been defeated. “Can’t we all just get...

Received this e-mail today from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: It’s Jen O’Malley Dillon, Joe Biden’s Campaign Manager.

Donald Trump thinks the woman he continually refers to as “Pocahontas” is too mean to be president. She’s not nice like, you know, him (second tweet): x TRUMP on Elizabeth Warren: “I think lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent … she is a...

Trump represents a vestigial Reagan revolution, if not a fascist revolt beyond St. Ronnie, moving the media frame closer to autocratic dictator now ready to manipulate a pandemic into a looming recession. It is time to end Trump’s reign of terror even if the standard bearer might not resemble the necessary...
This is worth watching before you head to the voting booth: x YouTube Video Elizabeth Warren sat down for an emotional interview with Jimmy Kimmel that included tears from both Warren and Kimmel—and the requisite amount of shots fired at both former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Donald Trump.

When political maven and American University history professor Allan Lichtman predicted Donald Trump would win the 2016 election, I laughed … nervously. When it turned out he’d been right, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. When he predicted Trump would be impeached, I was ready to stick my head...
Mike Bloomberg had a Freudian slip as they discussed him funding many Republican candidates including Lindsey Graham. He started to say that he bought the politicians. Could not believe this Bloomberg slip x x YouTube Video

“A man’s gotta know his limitations.” “The politics has gotten so ornery,” Eastwood reportedly stated before adding he approved of “certain things that Trump’s done” but wishes the president would act “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not...

The reality of tomorrow’s Nevada caucus will be in the details of delegate allocation. The meme of “insurmountable delegate lead” could prevail.

Deep pockets and the cost of campaigning has contributed to a cash crunch as Bloomberg’s media buying combines with the scale of the upcoming super-Tuesday media markets.

Kevin Sheekey, Mike Bloomberg’s campaign manager, was interviewed by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle after a mob of Dem senators and other candidates went Ides of March on his ass last night, and the best Sheekey could say about Bloomie’s performance was that he’ll do better: x BloombergâÂÂs campaign manager admits the candidate didnâÂÂt...
Hmmmmm…Media asks leading questions of Democratic presidential candidates to get them to attack each other. In latest debate, Elizabeth Warren comes out swinging against all the other candidates. Bernie Sanders gets into it with Bloomberg and Buttigieg. Klobuchar gets into personal fight with Buttigieg. Biden even goes after Bloomberg. And...
Love this: x The day after the debate, Elizabeth Warren bought a full page ad in Sheldon AdelsonâÂÂs newspaper saying Sheldon Adelson will pay $2.3 billion the first year of her wealth tax. I think thatâÂÂs called chutzpah. pic.twitter.com/dV7O3G8MJuâ Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) February 20, 2020 The morning after Sen. Elizabeth Warren savaged...
Chest thumpers and embarrassing belligerents are how the followers of Bernie Sanders are being described. The Michael Bloomberg crowd who I suppose are Bloomers, who find themselves in the unenviable position of defending a billionaire and racist policies, instead of his politics, face off in a debate tonight. Predictably, the candidates...
The disappearing of Elizabeth Warren is, in my opinion, a tragedy and a crime. (Full disclosure: She’s my top candidate and has been for some time now.) But she’s not going to go away without a fight, and everything she does from here on out will be accomplished with her...
Back in 2015 and 2016, before a giant art installation made of Saran Wrap, cotton candy, and toenail fungus somehow became president, Donald Trump pretended that his personal fortune made him immune to corruption. Oh, that was a good one. First of all, he’s more corrupt than a Borgia pope....
For some reason I wasn’t watching this live. I mean, on a good day, choosing between watching a NASCAR race or a Trump speech is like deciding whether to eat a Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast out of a roadhouse urinal or my own liver with a Taco Bell spork. But...
If you’ve followed politics for a while, you surely remember Sam Donaldson. The veteran reporter could be loud and obnoxious, but more than anything he was blunt, especially in his longtime role as ABC News’ chief White House correspondent. But he didn’t wade into partisan politics, and he certainly didn’t make...
Well, “friends” might be a stretch. I don’t think Trump actually has friends. Associates? Gobsmacked, open-mouthed starers? Mike Bloomberg knows Donald Trump and knows how to get his goat. After Trump attacked the self-made billionaire business genius’ height yet again this morning, Bloomberg hit Trump where it hurts: x .@realDonaldTrump –...
In a recent video clip, Bloomberg is heard making a racist justification for stop & frisk. This newer video could be more devastating.

Here’s the latest news out of North Carolina today courtesy of High Point University’s latest poll: In the race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, former State Senator Cal Cunningham has the most support (29%) among self-identified registered voters who may vote in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senator....
While many are shocked by racist words coming out of Mike Bloomberg. I find it rather amusing. Patriarchs and Oligarchs of his ilk share the same prejudices and ignorance. An uninformed Mike Bloomberg likely still believes this. x x YouTube Video So what did this bastion of virtue say? 95% of...
Rebranding a Trump economy is more than slapping a new paint job on Air Force One. Trump took a strong economy and weakened it. x ItâÂÂs âÂÂnot fashionable in progressive circlesâ because progressives are rejecting the bogus arguments about debt and deficits that have been used to undermine the progressive...
For those less familiar with forecasting, you might take a moment and read this Politico article on the person who accurately predicted the 2018 Blue Wave numbers. The problem of “It didn’t matter who was running; it mattered who was voting.” is that it needs much more testing especially in the context...
An MTP Daily panel finally completely soured on Joe Biden. Interestingly they came to the same conclusion most of the progressive Independent media came to months ago.

Bernie Sander's surrogate Nina Turner did not let MSNBC pundit Jason Johnson get away with challenging her notion that Mike Bloomberg is an oligarch buying his way into the Democratic Presidential Election. x x YouTube Video MSNBC’s Chris Matthews interviewed Bernie Sanders’ spokesperson Nina Turner during the initial stages of the...
Conservative “never-Trumper” Jennifer Rubin tells us that the electorate needs to be reminded how ignorant Trump is, how he will never get any better, and more likely is getting worse. This seems uncontroversial to rational human beings, and only gets daily reconfirmation with each new Trump screw-up. Her complaint does seem more...
When asked about the legitimate criticism directed toward the DNC debate rule change that will now allow Michael Bloomberg to grace us with his divine presence on a debate stage, MSNBC political analyst Beth Fouhy thought the DNC made the correct decision. Her argument is that Bloomberg is being allowed...

Unapologetic democratic socialism will survive 2020, but if Trump wins, there could be no democracy by the 2024 election.

Chris Matthews attempted to belittle Bernie Sanders ascent in the polls with a novel theory used to propel Mike Bloomberg given the expected Biden demise.

Lots of complaints lately, here and elsewhere, about Mike Bloomberg spending hundreds of millions of dollars (pocket change for him) to try to, in essence, buy the Democratic nomination. But suppose he doesn’t get it? It’s often been the case that money alone does not get you a win in...
Trump’s attempt to throw out E. Jean Carroll’s case fails. Her defamation case moves forward. Trump probably should have “moved” to Florida even earlier. Should there be a GoFundMe to DNA test E. Jean Carroll’s dress. Maybe Mike Bloomberg can check his couch cushions for change. Trump asks a New...
