In full disclosure, I watched more of the Ranger game than the Democrat Debate....but I believe it is a mistake to count Bloomberg out just yet.
My observation was that he allowed the vituperation to simply wash off him like water off a duck's back....as though he simply assumed he'd get the nomination.
And he has two huggggggeeee reasons to assume that:
1. immense wealth....he's spent $500 million, yet his wealth has increased by $100 million each day he's been in the race.
2. The Democrat Party will do ANYTHING to prevent a communist from being their champion.
Bernie Sanders: We Have a Grotesque and Immoral Distribution of Wealth and Income
3. "A contrary view: Mini Mike isn’t done despite debate debacle
Some multiple of the number of people who saw the debate will see his advertisements, and most important, Bloomberg isn’t on a ballot until Super Tuesday. Between now and then, one or more candidates will be damaged by low showings in Nevada and South Carolina.
The so-called ‘moderate’ segment of the electorate isn’t going to Bernie or Warren. This may have been the best night for Buttigieg, whose vapid bromides might sell with the non-socialist Democrat wing.
Bloomberg’s reason to be in this contest is to be the last non-Bernie non-Warren candidate standing.
Bernie doesn’t accept or understand that in capitalism the amount of wealth grows — Bloomberg didn’t take his wealth from someone else. Bernie is alien to our economic system, which is his appeal to a large segment of Democrats. The politics of envy sells well.
Get ready for the contest we need as a nation, Trump versus Bernie, capitalism versus socialism, economic freedom versus statist control. Bernie v. Trump is the battle we need, just as Britain needed Corbyn v. Johnson. Nothing that happened last night changed the likelihood that this is how it ends up."
