Issues & Insights: Democratic Fools And Their Money  "After being trounced on Super Tuesday, Michael Bloomberg announced that he was “suspending” his campaign. He joins fellow billionaire Tom Steyer in the quitters’ camp.
"It makes you wonder how these two succeeded in business when they are so utterly incompetent at selling themselves or their ideas. It also underscores how shrewd billionaire Donald Trump was in 2016.
"Bloomberg built his entire strategy on winning big on Super Tuesday. His pitch to voters – in a series of endlessly repeated ads – was his competency. He was a self-made billionaire, he got things done, he was a proven leader, he was best suited to beat Trump.
"Yet all Bloomberg had to show for his hundreds of millions was a win in American Samoa.
"Even someone as arrogant as Bloomberg could not ignore how disastrous his plan turned out to be. Think about it: Bloomberg spent $464 million of his own money to win a grand total of 64 delegates. That works out to $7.2 million per delegate.
"Another way to look at it: Bloomberg spent nearly $300 for each vote he got. That’s enough to buy every one of his supporters a Luger 9 mm pistol, or almost 4,000 rounds of AR-15 ammo.
"Bloomberg hasn’t done much better with the money he’s plowed into other candidates." . . .

Joe Biden says he’d want Michelle Obama to be his running mate

NY Post  . . . Biden responded: “They’re both incredibly qualified people and they’re such decent, honorable people.”
"The pairing would be a first in American politics; there has never been a presidential ticket that included a former first lady in the VP slot.
"This isn’t the first time Biden had mentioned the idea of the former first lady being his running mate or the former president being on the Supreme Court." . . .

First Lady Melania Trump: I Am Proud of How America Empowers Women…
By way of contrast.

Stop and think for a minute, Joe...    

Michelle Obama not proud of America again  (2016)  . . . "Today, she apparently feels that 62 million Americans who voted for Trump have disgraced themselves again through voting for the end of hope.

"What makes Mrs. Obama's declaration so odd is that whether or not Donald Trump can deliver on his wildly ambitious aims, more than anything, his message to a discouraged nation is one of hope.  To the 90 million able-bodied Americans who have given up looking for living wage jobs due to Obama's economic policies, Trump says, have hope!  To a decimated and demoralized military, Trump says, we're going to fix it, buh-lieve me.  To a nation suffering under the Obama administration's hypocritical machinations to admit hundreds of thousands of illegals through broken borders, Trump offers hope for the restoration of a nation of laws.   

"Dozens of Americans have been murdered by illegals.  Michelle Obama expressed no hope to Kate Steinle's family that such brutal crimes would stop.  Kate was collateral damage in the Obamas'  campaign to recolor America; as such, Michelle Obama would never express compassion for Kate's grieving loved ones.  The first lady's disinterest in white children, evidenced by her invitations and efforts, was pointed.  Her inclination to favor black institutions, causes, and guests and to avoid schools and settings representing the actual make-up of Americans was marked.  Michelle Obama never became a first lady for all the American people, the people she was not proud to symbolize in the first place." . . .

Getting back to Biden:  "Glenn Reynolds made an astute comment about Joe’s appearance, which is familiar to all of us who have seen our loved ones fade away:"

Der schumerglower: He Just Threatened Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch ‘You will pay the price’

Is anybody else sick of daily seeing this man's menacing glower?

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attended a Planned Parenthood rally Wednesday and openly threatened Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, just as the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about a law in Louisiana requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges to the state’s local hospitals.
“ 'I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” said Schumer. “You don’t know what will hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
"Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, questioned his threat on Twitter saying “Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media?”
"Should we should take Schumer’s warning seriously? Maybe, remember it was Schumer who said in early 2017, that the intelligence community would target President Donald Trump when the he questioned why his briefing on Russia’s cyberattacks were delayed.
“ 'Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” said Schumer to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
"Just look at what happened to Trump over the past three years and ask yourself this one question: Could the Democrats use similar tactics to make life for our Supreme Court Justices just as difficult?" . . .

John Roberts Condemns Schumer for Saying Justices ‘Will Pay the Price’ for ‘Awful Decisions’

. . . "Chief Justice Roberts condemned Mr. Schumer’s remarks.

“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous,” he said in a statement. “All members of the court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”

Bloomberg Is Out, Why Is Warren Still In?

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Power Line "Mike Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign today. He has endorsed Joe Biden.
"The lesson many will draw from Bloomberg’s failure to win any primary other than the one in American Samoa is that it’s foolish to skip the early contests. To be sure, skipping the early contests isn’t generally a recommended strategy, but I don’t think it was foolish in Bloomberg’s case. His downfall was his debate performance, not his timing.

It’s true that Bloomberg might have debated better if he had been campaigning all along. But one can essentially skip the early contests and still participate in debates. If memory serves, Rudy Giuliani did this in 2008. Unfortunately for Giuliani, he didn’t have anything like Bloomberg’s ability to mass advertise.
"The other problem for Bloomberg was Joe Biden’s revival. It destroyed Bloomberg’s core claim that only he stood between Bernie Sanders and the nomination.
"Imagine a scenario in which Bloomberg debates well and Biden doesn’t revive. In this scenario, Bloomberg would not have flopped on Super Tuesday and might well have a shot at winning the nomination despite skipping the early contests.
"Disappointing though it was, Bloomberg’s Super Tuesday performance bettered that of Elizabeth Warren. Why, then, is Warren still in the race?
"Last night, as she was getting trounced in state after state, including Massachusetts, she sent a message to her supporters. It stated that “we might not know the results the full results from states like Texas, California, and Colorado for a few days.” True. We know, however, that Warren lost each of these states and lost each big.
"Warren continued:" 

Here’s the bottom line. There are six more primaries just a week away, and we need your help to keep up the momentum.

"Momentum? Is Warren delusional?
"Yesterday, I disputed the notion that Bernie Sanders is the victim of a conspiracy by the establishment. I found scant evidence to support such a claim. If there is such evidence, it’s Elizabeth Warren’s continued presence in the race.
"However, I think her continued presence is due to a personality defect, not an establishment conspiracy to deny Sanders leftist votes."

Lawrence O’Donnell Gushes Over Happy Hollywood Voters Spending Hours in Line

MRC   "MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell gushed over the happy, liberal Hollywood voters who were excited to spend hours in line on Super Tuesday. Meanwhile, on sister network NBC, the 80-year-old Tom Brokaw made a cameo appearance in which he chided the Republican Party as a “dwindling tribe” of voters. 

"O’Donnell, who produced the TV show West Wing (among others), painted a picture of film industry pros practically holding hands with regular voters: “My phone is filled with texts from people, friends of mine in those lines. I have one from a Hollywood polling place where the casting director is in a conversation with a cinematographer and a math teacher and someone who is an undivided voter an hour ago in that line, and she says they just realized, and only just realized, that they'd been in the line for two hours.” 

. . . 

"After glossing over the voting problems in California, O’Donnell hyped the very liberal California turnout as a rejection of Trump: 

It is the Trump turnout. This is a turnout driven by a nationwide fear of Donald Trump remaining in office after the next election. These people are afraid of another four years of Donald Trump. They are afraid of what Donald Trump has done. That's who these voters are. This is a Donald trump-generated turnout tonight. 

"On NBC, a few hours earlier, Brokaw appeared. In a tribute to the American voter, the former Nightly News anchor derided the GOP as a “dwindling tribe.' ”  . . .

Two Kinds of Pro-Choice Advocates

Mike Adams

"I remember once when I was a teenager asking my father “What time is it?” He responded by saying, “There are two kinds of people in this world – those who ask what time it is, and those who wear watches.” I could not resist the temptation to respond by saying, “No, the two kinds of people are those who oversimplify the world by breaking it into dichotomies, and those who don’t.” Of course, he didn’t think that was funny. And now I regret saying it because sometimes things do break down into simple dichotomies. One example is support for elective abortion. As complicated as the issue may seem, there are only two types of people in the pro-choice category: science deniers, and opponents of human equality.

"The reason we can break pro-choice advocates into this simple dichotomy is because the pro-life position is really predicated on the veracity of two premises contained in a simple syllogism. This syllogism forces the pro-choice advocate into one of two categories by forcing him to attack either the first or the second premise. For those unfamiliar with the syllogism, which has been popularized by the world’s greatest pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf (see www.CaseForLife.com), here it is in all of its brilliant simplicity:  . . ."

Barbra Streisand's obsession with Trump

Part of the answer is in her liberalism. I have noticed how miserable liberal women can be. Yesterday, former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile in a Fox News segment told RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to go to hell.  . . .

Don Surber  "A day in the life of Barbra Streisand is sad. Sure she has fame and fortune (her net worth is estimated at $400 million) but she is one sad septuagenarian.

"She wrote in Variety, "Every morning I wake up, holding my breath while I turn on my phone to see the latest news. I think to myself, 'It can’t be worse than yesterday.' But when the news loads, I think, 'Ohhhhh, yes, it is worse.'

" 'No wonder doctors report that more people than ever are anxious and depressed."

"That is pathetic. She has so much to look forward to each day. She has a good husband, a good family, and friends around the world. She lives in a mansion on a marvelous estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu.

"Why does she wake up every morning and immediately tune in the news? Why does she reach out each day to find some new reason to hate President Donald John Trump. Why is she so determined to become upset and angry over things that are out of her control?" . . .

No apologies from Denver city council member who endorsed spreading coronavirus at Trump rallies

More thoughts from the "love trumps hate" group.

Monica Showalter  "So let's get this straight here: Leftist pol styling herself as Denver's answer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatens to spread coronavirus, a deadly disease for many, targeting Trump rallies, and does so using manic low-intelligence, emoji-filled laughter.

"People spend weeks in isolation just based on exposure to prevent its spread to others. Whole economies are going down in East Asia because of it. She knows the disease is extremely contagious as well as deadly for the vulnerable, such as older people and people with compromised immune systems, but since she's none of that, she'll gladly spread it to people whose politics dissent from her own. The Colorado GOP has called on her to resign but she hasn't even apologized.

"This kind of talk is perfectly redolent of the kind of garbage coming out of other democratic socialists these days, such as the Iowa-based creep exposed by undercover investigative reporter James O'Keefe, leading any normal person to conclude: . . .

. . . "But just because she refuses to apologize doesn't mean she isn't trying to run out on her tab, evade consequences, and extricate herself from the inevitable fallout from this sick threat she ought to be arrested for given the weaponization of disease she's threatening." . . .

Maybe in four years, Bernie

Well, he did win big on college campuses, at least

No Lenin, No Trotsky, No Bernie  . . . Today, another almost ancient phenomenon has magically appeared out of the radical mists of what was once considered a 20th-century failed movement.  This marvel is called Bernie Sanders.  With great wonderment, a majority of American folks look upon this old curmudgeon as a Marxist blast from the past.

"The fact that a huge segment of pampered youth, as well as a few die-hard socialists and anarchists about Bernie's age, are "feeling the Bern" has caught most of us off guard, and we don't know whether to take all this as a bad joke or as a truly serious challenge to our way of life. " . . .

. . . "So what would a Bernie Sanders presidency look like?  He certainly would not be bringing in his revolution on the heels of a military takeover like in Russia in 1918, thus he would have to deal with the realities of a constitutional democracy with true divisions of power.  I really doubt that even a minimum of his programs would get through Congress or past the courts, but certainly he would try.

"In the end, Bernie's program will most likely continue to be a dream, an ideal, and perhaps Bernie will end up like Trotsky: a symbol for that pure left-wing revolution that never got its chance." . . .

Leftist heartache at the upscale gym

What Sanders’ Success Tells Us: Authoritarians Are Alive In America   "Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders didn’t run away with the Super Tuesday Democratic primaries, as some thought he would, but the intemperate socialist is still a legitimate contender. While his ascent should be shocking to a nation founded on freedom, it has provided something of a public service, having drawn millions of closeted authoritarians into the open. There they can be identified, and hopefully politically marginalized.

"Much of the Vermont socialist’s popularity is due to his promise of redistributing wealth, from those who have earned it to those he believes need it more than its rightful owners. It’s played well among Democrats, who have played the politics of jealousy for decades. As the Manhattan Contrarian has said, “if you’re the party of free stuff, why shouldn’t the guy who offers the most free stuff win?”

"But Sanders also appeals to another base instinct: The desire to grind a boot on others’ necks and run their lives." . . .  

Mike Bloomberg QUITS 2020 race after disastrous Super Tuesday saying winning is 'impossible' despite spending $1 BILLION for just 44 delegates - and immediately endorses Joe Biden

"The "path forward" in politics usually means "I need an exit ramp".

UK Daily Mail   "Mike Bloomberg dramatically quit the presidential race Wednesday morning after a disastrous Super Tuesday and immediately backed Joe Biden.

The billionaire gained just 44 delegates by 10.11am, the time he announced his departure - but ran up a bill of $1 billion.
"He immediately and whole-heartedly backed Biden, the night's big winner, hinting that his vast fortune is now at the former vice-president's disposal.
"'I've always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it,' he said.
"'After yesterday's vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden. 
"'I've known Joe for a very long time. I know his decency, his honesty, and his commitment to the issues that are so important to our country – including gun safety, health care, climate change, and good jobs. 
"'Today I am glad to endorse him – and I will work to make him the next President of the United States.' 
"And Democrats are urging Elizabeth Warren to drop out as well after further pulling votes from both frontrunners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders without winning any of the more than dozen states that cast their ballots.
"She was reported by NBC News to he holding talks with aides about 'the path forward,' suggesting that she too is on the brink. 
"Warren even managed to come third in her own state of Massachusetts, leaving her campaign in crisis. 
"And in yet another blow to Warren early Wednesday morning, Biden was declared winner in Maine, the last of the 14 Super Tuesday states to declare - and Warren did not even get the 15 per cent threshold to pick up delegates there. " . . .

The winner!

An Unhinged Donna Brazile to GOP Chairwoman: 'Go to Hell'

Townhall   "Original Post: With Super Tuesday voting underway, former Interim Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Donna Brazile had some harsh words for GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on America’s Newsroom, telling McDaniel to “go to hell:”

"Brazile’s unhinged comments were in response to McDaniel discussing the prospect of a brokered DNC convention, which would likely put Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) at a disadvantage:

“ 'I don’t see anybody getting out soon, and its leaning toward a potential brokered convention, which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote,” McDaniel told Sandra Smith and Ed Henry. "

"Chairwoman McDaniel’s analysis is not unfounded. Superdelegates are typically establishment figures and party leaders, and vote only on the second ballot if no candidate reaches the first-round threshold. Establishment Democrats do not favor a Sen. Sanders’ nomination, just as they did not in 2016; McDaniel got it exactly right." . . .

Donna Brazile is totally not sorry for leaking CNN debate questions to Hillary Clinton

. . . “My conscience — as an activist, a strategist — is very clear,” the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee said Monday during a satellite radio interview with liberal activist and SiriusXM host Joe Madison. She added that “if I had to do it all over again, I would know a hell of a lot more about cybersecurity.”
In other words, Brazile would have made sure that her improper disclosures — which prompted CNN to drop her as an analyst — would not show up in hacked emails published by WikiLeaks. The lesson, apparently, is to pick up the phone or perhaps meet John Podesta in a dark alleyway.
Madison hardly objected. In fact, he said CNN should have expected this kind of thing.
“The one thing folk need to understand at CNN, MSNBC and all of this: When you hire folk who are, as you say, the, you know — their responsibility is to their candidate and their party,” Madison said, “they're going to do whatever they can to win. That's just — that's the nature of the beast.”....   Read more: Washington Post
