Democratic Party set to include Michael Bloomberg in debates

[The Original Tree]

Love how The Democrat Party did everything they could to tweak their rules to keep Gabbard out and then bent over backwards to let Mr. Burns, errrrr Mike Bloomberg in.

The non-insane portion of the Democrat party (an ever shrinking segment of the DNC pie) know that nominating a communist piece of shit like Breadline Bernie will result in a landslide win for Trump.

Well, money talks. Democrats always answer.

Don't be too self-righteous, Trump put $66M into his 2016 campaign. The plus side is you're not beholding to special interests if you self-finance. If we want honesty in our politicians we should be willing to pay for it and not expect a 'free lunch'.

It will be interesting to see how the anti billionaire candidates go after the billionaire candidate. It will also be interesting to see how much Bloomberg’s business dealings are looked at.

and would he need to remove himself from his businesses if he should win?

Trump didn't bribe his way into the debates, just for starters.

It's complete bullshit honestly. How many candidates did the DNC refuse to allow to participate without reaching a threshold of poll votes and minimum raised from individual donors. Now those candidates have essentially been forced out and this guy just waltzes in without having met ANY of the previous requirements.

CORRUPT & RIGGED

Shows how money does talk in the democrat party. Hell, he even said he's going to spend a billion even if he's not in the race.
Hypocrites is the word of the day when speaking of democrats

Changing the rules makes sense since the original rules automatically disqualified self-funded campaigns from the Primary Debates.

The DNC was short-sighted for not seeing that from the get go and planning for the possibility that a candidate might come along that could fund their own campaign without relying on donors.

I guess Tulsi did not have enough cash to buy her way in

It is really how frustratingly little say so the public has when it comes to narrowing down the field.
Also irritates me that primaries are staggered like they are. Makes my vote count far less than someone who voted a month before me. People drop out before a majority even get to vote.

Polling determines who is in the debates. After Citizens United brought to you by a Republican Supreme Court, are you complaining about money in politics? LOL

I think the Good Lord has a wicked sense of humor. The Stalinists rail against rich, old, white billionaires - and one just bought the nomination

The chances of him winning are zero.

Bloomberg had no desire to go through the debate process. He would have been shot down quicker than Harris. If he had jumped in from early on I would have agreed. No way he makes the polling qualifications if he had.

The dems don't want Bloomberg winning, he's not socialist enough. They want his money that he promised to them.

Don't count him out just yet, the same opinion was commonly voiced about Donald Trump's chances of winning the nomination in 2016.

... and Trump is a pauper compared to Bloomberg.

We are all socialists. That is no longer a legitimate argument. Are you now working for the billions the Fed is pumping into wall street?

The problem is the Sanders supporters are a huge portion of the electorate the (D) would need to win and absolutely none will support him in any way. None of those who ran against Trump had much support.

Did you miss the part where I said, " he's not socialist enough? For the love of God, stupidity runs deep within your veins.

True enough but was it bribery that got Bloomberg into the debates or the fact that he is now tied for 3rd place in the poles?

Definitely bribery. And the Poles don't vote here without Democrat help.
