fair enough. I can see a lot of morons bailing on the election & not voting if Bernie is the nominee. Seems more likely than Bernie supporters bailing on Clinton tbh.

would be kind of funny to hear left-wing democrats have to give the "just hold your nose and vote, remember the supreme court!" lecture

I wonder if the "counsel" Clinton's received from Kissinger includes "if someone like Sanders is elected, overthrow them in a military coup"

Centrist Dems who bail are not Democrats. They are morons.

Anyone who bails because they don't like the candidate enough is a moron imo. There's always a better choice and a worse choice. If it's Hitler vs Mussolini, you vote Mussolini.

I have a standing joke that those two are going to be reanimated by the Ds and Rs for the next election, and the rest of it gets offensive

a sanders/trump/bloomberg election would be the strangest in nearly a century, not only because 2/3 of the candidates would be nyc jews.

more thought experiments: would bloomberg take away more votes from sanders or trump??

sounds like more of a sit down joke

anyway sorry the question implicit in elections for me is "Who do you want to fill this office?" None of the Above is an answer.

The question implicit in an apartment search is "where do you want to live," but when the beachfront bauhaus mansion isn't in my price range I don't sleep on the street.

does anyone fucking like bloomberg? I don't think so. I don't know why he's rattling these chains.

akm, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:12 (eight years ago) link

I still want to see him get booed like Brady at the Superbowl

bloomberg has some genuinely redeeming qualities. pretty good on public health and climate change

i'll give you a hint: he was elected mayor of NYC

k3vin k., Friday, 12 February 2016 20:21 (eight years ago) link

if bloomberg runs all you will hear about is 'soda tax'

akm, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:22 (eight years ago) link

p. sure you mean 'pop tax'

mookieproof, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link

are we really taking seriously the idea of a whey-faced Lieberman clone with money running for president and making an impact?

i'm not sure that actually helps!!

nobody outside of NY gives a fuck about Bloomie

and nobody in Florida gives a shit about Cuban Wonder.

it depends if 'the other 2 candidates are dangerous nuts' wd gain any traction

dc journalists who value civility and telling both sides love bloomie, that's about it

mookieproof, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

who would win in a sanders / hillary / bloomberg / trump / cruz election?

Mordy, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

i wasn't saying he would be a serious candidate. i was saying that on balance he would take more votes from the democrats than the republicans

k3vin k., Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

soda's pretty popular, too. all sanders would have to do is slam a Big Gulp down on the lectern at the start of his first debate and it's over. plus i mean the guy seems like he could use some refreshment up there.

the thirteenth floorior (Doctor Casino), Friday, 12 February 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link

think you have him mixed up with Rubio

DC-journalist-style civility included smashing up Zuccotti Park and its denizens, of course

even better then if rubio's in the race. "May I offer you some of this delicious refreshment, sir?"
