Bloomberg is a racist trends and the next day he's got three endorsements from the Black Caucus. The man's certainly connected.

...love his "free stuff and make the rich pay for it" message. The rest of the electorate is largely not going to buy that.

James Carville told The Washington Post that Biden "has never been a good candidate. This is not his first rodeo, and he ain't roped a cow yet," he said.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/12/politics ... index.html
Trump ran for the presidency on a signature promise to make Mexico pay for a giant wall on its own border. Mexico has not paid. But Trump insisted at campaign rallies in January that, at some point in the future, people would learn how Mexico has indeed been paying.
At a rally in New Hampshire on Monday, he offered something resembling an explanation.
"You do know who's paying for the wall, don't you? Redemption. From illegal aliens that are coming in," he said. "The redemption money is paying for the wall."

You two are doing a coordinated harassment on me and it’s very hurtful.

I define Bernie Bros not as solely supporters/fans, but the guys who harass others, plus are abusive, annoying, and can't be reasoned with. Basically, Trump fanatics without the MAGA hats.

He's run three times and has never finished better than 4th in a primary.

Hannity's lead tonight is Bernie. The hammer and sickle popped up five seconds in and he's telling us that Bernie is all for "Soviet style" socialism ...

I know I am also an old person.

My point was more about the Carville victory (?) tour

FWIW, I didn’t think there was anything insightful about the quote. I just heard in the Tony Kornheiser podcast and thought it was a funny turn of phrase.

I know Freddy mentioned this the other day, but the turnout for Trump in the New Hampshire primary is crazy. Obviously the incumbent primary usually is forgotten, but this is definitely noteworthy:

That many voters turning out to vote for the incumbent that is already a lock to win the primary is damned impressive. Clinton held the previous record.

Watched some of that Bloomberg clip talking about redlining. He’s not a smart person.

I’m not sure why that’s surprising though.
