I think as long as it's 2-3 people in the race, that's fine. But the bottom 4 at minimum need to drop sooner rather than later. After Super Tuesday has got to be it for most of these candidates if they don't make a significant dent then.
Tonight:
"People are saying the best way to avoid getting the caronavirus is to buy stocks. The more stocks you buy, the less likely you are to get it. Thank you, good night."

Bernie should just start quoting Mean Girls. Problem solved.
"Get in loser we're seizing the means of production"
Bloomberg's people are paid until the end of the summer. There's no way he drops out. And he actually might win some states in March!
Also, Warren's probably gonna flop pretty bad on ST and end up fourth. She should be looking to drop out soon because there's no way she ends up with anything at the convention. Especially with Biden second.
Outside of New Jersey, which state does he have any chance in?

That's a concise and to the point explanation for why I prefer Warren to Sanders, from freaking Ann Coulter no less!
"The stock market looks great and the corona, actually seriously buy some stock in AB InBev people, stocks are yugely high for them because of Corona!"
Purely on the political implications: I think people are underestimating how disastrous it will be for Trump if he's caught during a real crisis looking even half as dishonest and incompetent as we all know he is. Events have given him an easy hand so far. Right now estimates are that coronavirus has severe effects between 15-20% of the time. That means hospitalization, which in turn means it has the potential to utterly swamp the hospitals and health care system in a way we haven't seen in the US in a century, even if those percentages are inflated. I don't think even a competent, honest, and unifying president could reasonably expect to survive an outcome like that, much less a dishonest, incompetent, divisive one, who can only think in terms of media strategy at the best of times.
Bloomberg? Oh I don't think any. Just the moderates are going to need to figure out something quick if they want to be able to be more focused on Bernie and blunt him. I think with 3, assuming Biden, Sanders, and Bloomberg, there will be decent enough clarity possible there - with Bloomberg pulling up the rear.
I mean, yeah, he should certainly drop out, but he's a massive filthy rich asshole with nothing to do.
As a Belgian with a significant stake in AB InBev I appreciate this comment
Not only that, but think of the direct economic effect of trade disruption and people missing work. That is what has Trump freaked, and understandably so, as even he is intelligent enough to understand that a poorly-handled health crisis that also leads to an economic downturn is not what you want leading into an election.
Absolutely. Trump so far has been basically setting expectations that this is going to be comparable to disease outbreaks we've seen in recent memory, and it increasingly looks like that is considerably understating things. That it's not a problem for the public to worry about. And because the public is not yet decided about the issue, it's not yet harmful to him.
But once the public understanding shifts to being genuinely afraid of this virus, Trump's downplaying makes it much, much harder to buy him as a competent problem-solver. He's just someone who got coronavirus wrong, and suddenly we're all paying for it.
Court sides with Trump in 'sanctuary cities' grant fight
The decision overturned a lower court's decision ordering the administration to release funding to New York City and seven states.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration can withhold millions of dollars in law enforcement grants to force states to cooperate with U.S. immigration enforcement, a federal appeals court in New York ruled Wednesday in a decision that conflicted with three other federal appeals courts.
The decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan overturned a lower court's decision ordering the administration to release funding to New York City and seven states — New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts, Virginia and Rhode Island.
The states and city sued the U.S. government after the Justice Department announced in 2017 that it would withhold grant money from cities and states until they gave federal immigration authorities access to jails and provide advance notice when someone in the country illegally is about to be released.
Before the change, cities and states seeking grant money were required only to show they were not preventing local law enforcement from communicating with federal authorities about the immigration status of people who were detained.
Personally when I get lost from my group in a new city, I always freeze and scream 'AM I BEING DETAINED' too
That'd actually be a good onion article.
It resurrects his electability argument, that's for sure.
The problem with that is that Mike is still siphoning off a lot from him and Bernie is gonna do decently well if he gets second.
Like, even if Biden gets first in SC, where does he get a big delegate win in ST? He'll come out around even (at best) in Texas. Same with NC, VA, TN, OK, AR... He can probably net a few delegates out of AL but that has nothing on Sanders sweeping CA/UT/CO/VT/ME.
The problem for Biden is he isn't going to run away with any state on ST while Bernie is gonna run away with a few, and one of them is the biggest prize of them all.
Usually when someone says "I got this", it turns out that no, they do not "have this"
Can probably guess that he likes his steak with as much red as possible, so that is another knock on him in your book as well, right?
I cant think of any recipe where extra sharp wouldnt be my perfered or elevate the dish. Cheddar isnt that impressive of a cheese in its blander versions.
For the record we've been trying to give Steubenville to West Virginia.
"Ohio Valley style"
Between this and creeping fascism, this country can't be save.
Biden and Bernie seem like the actual winners of the debate. None of the numbers support Pete doing well either. His aggression doesn't seem to have played well and probably helped make Bernie look more sympathetic.
