I know the Coronavirus has been the big topic but I'm surprised the libs and the media haven't been all over this Miller Coors mass shooing in Milwaukee. Oh yeah, 51 year old African-American shooter whose wife is an Elizabeth Warren supporter. Guess that doesn't fit the narrative. Nothing to see here....

I almost posted about this too. Hilarious that when things don’t fit narratives, they just disappear from main stream “news”. 

I see where 60 minutes is pushing the Bloomburg agenda.   He is kicking off their show.  

Pete's out.

Just saw that.  He is surely a VP candidate for the dems.  He needs a term at VP and he will be young and primed to be the show pony for the party in 2024 or 2028

They called him out for the media’s bullshit “Trump said Coronavirus is a myth” shit. Fucking enemies of the people for sure

As a non democrat it’s a shame. He seemed like a normal dude that was forced to be as woke as possible and then turn into an idiot. His pretend Christianity was garbage though.

Ahhhh, that awkward fake news moment when you're forced to tell the truth to help Trump in order to hurt Bloomberg.....

I think his sudden departure points to positioning for VP.  If he did poorly on Super Tuesday, it might have hurt him now and in the future.  Also, it helps divvy up his votes between the remaining "moderates".  Except there has apparently been a lot of early voting.

I just don't know who would really have him as a VP candidate - white, male and gay is not the demo anyone is looking to add to their ticket.  LOL, if he was a woman, or a minority, and was gay then it would be HUGE!

Has Breitbart stopped pushing that Michelle is swooping in at the last minute to save the day?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. 

Saw something on twitter that said Bloomberg allegedly reached out to Yang as a potential VP. 

If Bernie gets the nomination, who do you think he'd pick? Does he voluntarily take a moderate or does the DNC force one on him?

If Biden gets it, who does he take?

I saw some idiot on another board actually say non-white/non-male is a qualification.

Basically my whole life all I've heard is not to judge people on the basis of their sex/gender/race....but now suddenly it has merit in deciding who should be POTUS?!?

That thinking definitely played a role in Trump being elected.  I can't see how doubling-down on it is going to produce a different result.  The fact at least 1/3 of the Dem party doesn't recognize this doesn't make me optimistic about the future.  We keep talking about the Repub party fracturing and perhaps establishing a REAL Libertarian party.....but increasingly it looks like the third party we'll get will be Democratic Socialist.

I think Bernie wants an AOC type but the dems are never letting that happen.

Biden will take a governor.  Someone with no baggage.   He is running on his experience.  He doesn't need a DC swamper

I think it will be Biden/Kamala or Bloomberg/Booker.  I'd hope Tulsi rejects Bernie, and then I think Bernie picks Klobuchar.  AOC isn't old enough to run for POTUS, so doesn't that also disqualify her as VP?

The Dems lost in 2016 not because they didn't get the black vote, but partially because they didn't get the black turnout Obama did.

A #PeteToWarren hashtag is trending on Twitter. Lots of Pete voters now backing Warren, apparently.

you would think Pete supporters would go to Biden since Pete was closer to center like Biden and Warren is further left like Bernie.

Pete voters going farther left is interesting.  I guess the DNC played their hand by pushing Pete out and its going to backfire.

Looks like the DNC is getting behind Biden and floating money to Warren to stay in and steal votes from Bernie. There's a reason the largest Superpac got behind her this weekend. 

Klobuchar is out.
