    As I understand it, Bloomturd has retained his staff and they will be paid until november.

    It may be he's there as a "back up" if Biden falters, has a stroke, etc.

    Or more likely I think he wants influence in the democrat party-and he's got the deep pockets to do that.

    I wonder if there's anyone out there who can't see that the fix is already in for Biden. He should be mentally evaluated by a non biased psychiatrist, not one of the "experts" still attending Harvard.

    Who wanted Sanders to roll besides Sanders supporters? They want to burn cities when Sanders loses. I love the hate you have towards Trump though. It's a great indicator that he's doing very well.

    That's because you underestimate the Democrats' will to beat Trump.

    With the exception of the most conservative states, Biden leads against Trump virtually everywhere (they're practically tied in Texas) and the goal remains to dislodge him with the candidate most likely to succeed.

    Hey look, a true poll for Texas, based on real voter turnout yesterday.
    Biden - 661,450
    Trump - 1,879,759

    I'm not sure where you're from, but where I'm from, a 1,218,309 vote lead out of 2,541,209 votes isn't considered "practically tied"...

    Guess the DNC had a lemon law clause when they sold out.

    Biden is anti-freedom so I will not vote for him.

    Well it won't be Biden that beats him. Just listen to him talk, now imagine him on a debate stage with a speaker like Trump. Ole Joe will burn a fuse.

    I want reparations for the nonstop Bloomberg radio ads I've had to listen to here in Florida.

    IMHO, at this point she's hoping to be the VP nominee by staying in, and selling her delegates at the spawn of Satan gathering.

    My Favorite was

    "Newspapers say Trump fears Bloomberg" and they cite a Yahoo opinion article for their claim... An opinion blog is "Newspapers"

    Stumbled across Bloomberg's concession speech on C-Span just now.

    well written speech, came across pretty sincere, I might have learned to like mike, (seriously). I think I prefer him over bernie/biden for sure.

    Trump must fear him if he was willing to get impeached just to put some bad mouth on him.

    This proves two things....

    #1 - You can’t buy an election.
    #2 - If Bloomberg & Steyer can become billionaires, there is hope for us yet.

    Trump won TX by over 800,000 votes in 2016.

    Nobody expects it to be in play for 2020.

    TX is Solid RED.

    Quite the contrary. Trump has been the best choice since took office as far as results go.

    You underestimate how unpopular Hillary was in Texas.
    Polls had her down over 10 points (she did a little better)
    Biden is only down 2.5 now and there are still other choices left in the race.

    9.8% of the Virginia vote: $17.9 million
    14% of the Texas vote: $56.7 million
    Blanketing the airwaves with ads: $560 million
    Watching Bloomberg's money burn in a bonfire last night: priceless

    There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Michael Bloomberg.
