    Perhaps. But the "news" is that Bloomberg is "considering" Clinton. Hard to prove or disprove that. Neither the Bloomberg campaign nor Hillary Clinton is coming out to deny the story.

    Here's more "Trumper propaganda" for you. Steve Bannon talking about Bloomberg "considering" Clinton...

    He's a seasoned pol--three time NYC mayor--with $60b. I wouldn't count him out when the choice could be between him an brick-tossing Bernie.

    Why would Bloomberg chase obvious BS?

    Well, no doubt the DNC will not allow Bernie to be the nominee unless there are just so many Bernie voters coming out that they have no possible way to cheat him again.

    So, Bloomberg does have a good change of accomplishing his leveraged buyout of the Democrat Party. He is, however, everything that the DNC claims to hate. Ironic, or hypocritical?

    Power. Once a person has gained more money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes, the only other "excitement' in life is to seek pure power and control.

    I use to think Biden would pick Stacy Abrams, but with Biden Sliden, Klobuchar would be their best bet for VP.

    Bernie can't win. But there is a populist uprising in America with Bernie, the Socialist and Trump, the Nationalist having very loyal followers.

    This may be the only chance to see two essentially 3rd Party candidates slug it out on populist issues.

    Also, great not to have and Democrat or Republican as candidates. That might teach both parties that they've become complacent and need to change.

    Bernie is ahead of Biden (2nd Place) in Texas' primary polls. That's a lot of delegates.

    Reuters has also picked up on the story/speculation about Bloomberg considering Hillary for Veep. The story has been mainstreamed. We'll see if Hillary's team sticks with "no comment" this week when asked about it.

    She's probably negotiating with Bloomberg to donate a cool $1 Billion bucks to The Foundation to endorse him and $2 Billion to accept running with the jerk. Small unmarked bills.

    Not really, if they are split proportionally.

    NOW, if Texas was Winner-Take-All (it would matter).

    Besides, Polls mean nothing at this point.

    There are bound to be several unexpected results on Super Tuesday.

    And, a Huge Biden Comeback is still very possible.

    Looks like Bernie has California primary votes as well.

    Early voting in Texas starts day after tomorrow. I think I'll vote for Bernie to win the Dem nomination here since we know who the state's R nominee will be.

    Yeah. Why not?

    Of course, TX is sure to be a GOP State in the Fall.

    Exactly. Voting Bernie in the primary; Trump in the general.

    Since Bernie and Biden are virtually tied right now (2 points apart), crossover votes might push Bernie ahead for the win.

    He's only spending $2 Billion.

    Clinton had twice as much campaign money in 2016 as Trump had.

    At some point in campaign spending, additional dollars don't buy any additional votes. $2 Billion probably doesn't buy much more gain in the voting base than $1 Billion.

    Trump has 72 million free "subscribers" on Twitter to talk daily to supporters. I doubt any candidate will get that advantage of a personality on social media for free. Only Trump and AOC have figured out the "magic" of the Twitter and other social media for relationship "value" with the base.

    Republicans supporting Trump is just as hypocritical. I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary in 2016. How about you?

    I voted NeverTrump, but would have voted for him if I didn't have the luxury to vote 3rd Party in a safe red state. I was definitely more NeverHillary. At that time, they were the worst two choices in my voting life.

    Trump has kept his campaign promises though. He surprised me....and earned my vote for 2020.
