For Biden, past results are an indicator of future performance. Bloomberg means cash, which the DNC needs badly. Bloomberg can't win the primary, regardless of cash, especially given his skipping all the primaries until Super Tuesday, so irrelevant. Stop and Frisk has him dead on arrival, deader than Kamala Harris even, pathetic. He's not even close to a top tier candidate, he's like Andrew Yang or Corey Booker with more money, polling in the same ballpark, he's not going anywhere.

It's called a back up plan, he's still Plan A, they are simply hedging their bets, just in case he falls off a cliff. A weak frontrunner is still a frontrunner, ask Mitt Romney. Even if Biden falls off a cliff, Bloomberg won't be the one who benefits, that will probably be Buttigieg. Bloomberg is going nowhere in this primary, he was foolish to jump in, guess he's just looking for a way to blow a tiny little bit of his fortune, for shits and giggles. If he thinks he actually has a chance, he's straight up delusional. Edited November 23, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is about more than the top of the prez ticket...the game includes House and Senate races around the country, and having the war chest to compete. The GOP/RNC are kicking Team Joe's ass right now for fundraising...3 to 1. Those rich lefty bastards who love to give their money away are not impressed by Joe Biden. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

The rich lefty bastards aren't impressed with any of the other candidates either. So Biden isn't going to lose because they are slow to jump on the train. the GOP/RNC are kicking all the Democrats asses, and they will kick Bloombergs ass too.

Biden will most certainly lose if he cannot get the necessary fundraising done....this ain't Canada....money talks and bullshit walks. Go big or go home...and that takes lots of campaign cash.

Go big or go home...and that takes lots of campaign cash. He can get the necessary fundraising done, even when he's not, he's still the clear frontrunner. Imagine what happens if he just wins two of the four states heading in Super Tuesday, and what happens after he cleans up on Super Tuesday when most of the voting takes place in territory where he has a massive advantage. That will certainly give him enough cash to get to the finish line of the Dem nomination at least. There is no white knight that is going to enter the race and raise so much more money than Joe Biden that Democrats will dump him just to get their hands on it. This is not a thing that is going to happen. The only way to take Joe Biden down, is to take his mantle of electability from him and cut into his support with black voters, you can't buy that with money, especially if you are Captain Stop and Frisk. If Bloomberg threw $50 billion into his Dem primary campaign, he couldn't buy that. Edited November 23, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DNC is going to be broke whether they run Biden or not, not running Biden will not save them from that. Trump will still out raise them significantly, regardless of who they pick. This is just as good of a reason to not run any non-Biden candidate, than to not run Biden, so that isn't going to be what sinks Biden. If Biden sinks, it will be for other reasons than this.

intratec Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Money is the best attribute a candidate can possess, followed by charisma. Biden doesn't have much of either, but he's tied to Obama and the news media can't help but publicize him. The spotlight will always be on him. Saying Biden can't win doesn't make sense, we're talking about the democrats putting forth unpopular candidates after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump didn't have the money in 2016, got outspent 2 to 1, but had the charisma, and won. If money was the most important, Jeb Bush would have won the 2016 Republican nomination, not Trump. Biden has more charisma than the rest of the Dem 2020 field, and the money deficit isn't wide enough to bury him, in fact it isn't even wide enough to make him not the frontrunner.

Why Biden is getting crushed in the all-important money race None of them are doing impressive enough in fundraising to close the gap with Biden, so it's not hurting as much as it would if that was the case.

You got it or you don't. Warren and Sanders have passionate followers, but Biden is a mummy wrapped in coattails. It very well may be enough to get him to get a crack at Trump, but he's an uninspiring loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
