Reminds me of Biden who got clobbered and yet there was vigorous defence that he would make a comeback. He never did. This is an excellent example of the cart pushing the horse. They want someone who is doomed for failure.
The media and establishment want Bloomberg but he is not even ready for prime time and was crushed like Baigan Chowa. Excuses like he is a lil rusty etc is utter nonsense because his running for the highest office and has to be ready at ALL times. No excuses can mask his inability to debate and defend his own personal record.
Warren in particular took him to the cleaners. With the rest of candidates going for the kill. It was painful to watch.
There will be a fracture in the party if Bernie is denied. This is the party of which no person of colour has made it this far yet they are still clinging to an individual who has a personal record no different than Trump’s.
Democrats are like animals headed to the slaughterhouse. Republicans are licking their chops and waiting to go for the kill. They need to retool and move beyond Bloomberg and stop putting the cart before the horse.
Whomever emerge from this scourging will be better for the general elections. I hope this goes all the way to the convention with a squabble there for delegates. The reality is that this competition heightens attention, keeps the salient facts topical ( getting rid of the toxic scourge infesting the WH) and engages minds that would other have to be reinvigorated in the late summer run up to elections. Only in your mind is there a consensus candidate. The numbers each candidate have to this point and the number of them still viable puts the lie to that.
