    Next should be Tulsi and then Warren. 

    It is said Bloomberg has not made ad purchases past Super Tuesday so if he does not do well....I assume he will be next and will spend his billions buy----errr....getting it done.

    Where is Tulsi Gabbard running?  There is nothing in the media about her at all.

    She is still running but does not get enough votes for delegates or meet requirements for debates......but she is technically still running.

    She should just get out.  She's never going to make it.

    I do not know why she is still in....I think many of them have a way of being paid from the campaign.  (I do not know anything about her)

    I know if they are not currently in office they are allowed to take a salary. (Income limits apply...eother amount of candidate's last job or the amount of the office they are seeking....whichever is lower) 
    I know many hire their family. I know Bernie hires is wife's company to purchase ads. Her company gets paid 10% of whatever ads buys she makes. Huckabee charged his campaign for use of his plane.  It is all allowed and legal. 

    Money is my best geuss.

    I think that's wrong.  They shouldn't be allowed to "suspend" their campaigns so they can use up the money they got from voters.

    Suspending,  I believe, stops the campaign spending.  But keeps them available and keeps their delegates commited to them in the convention. And keeps them as a possible candidate in a brokered convention.

    I don't think that's the best way to do it, but each states makes its own rules.  I just think it isn't a level playing field when states vote early and the results are made known.  It can seriously affect how the later states vote.

    That is how they (the establishment of both parties) want it. They want the candidates to be thinned out before Mar.  Normally, using the money of the donor class they choose who the rest of us get to choose from for the nomination.  Of course, it did not work in 2016 for Reps, we will have to wait to see how it pans out for the Dems this year.

    He already said he will put all his money behind whichever person is the Dem prez candidate m2c. No matter which person it is. The guy spent (allegedly) half a BILLION on his try at it..he is worth $60 billion give or take...and it sounds as if there iw NO LIMIT to what he is willing to spend. I'm confused. I thought there were LIMITS to political contributions. Anyway today is the BIG DAY in I think 14 states, one of which is California. Of course you know Jim and I voted by mail a couple of weeks ago. At the end of today there should be a very good indication of who will roll on and who will drop out. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday. How is your state doing regarding the virus? No deaths I hope! :)

    Limits do not apply to your own campaign. 
    I hope whoever voted for is still in the race. Another reason I want to vote day of election.

    That is an EXCELLENT point m2c. The person for whom Jim and I voted for prez is still in the race. I think you know we WANTED Kamala Harris but she withdrew fairly early on due to lack of financing. If she were to run again we'd still want to support her unless between now and then someone we liked better came along.  Now this assumes Jim won't change his mind between now and then. We can't really know what our options will be this early and we may not agree then. Anyway we mailed our votes in on February 14 and so far don't have any regrets about how we voted. Now in the General Election it will be a whole new ballgame. Time will tell who is left standing. Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at March 3, 2020 5:49 AM MST

    I think Bloomberg will hold on until after Super Tuesday.  That will be the first time he's on the ballot.

    He has enough money to run forever and pledges to support whomever the candidate is with as much money as it takes. So he is the ACE up the sleeve then for the Dems? Today is a big one in California. We mailed out our ballots February 14. I wonder who will be the big winner? It is allegedly going to be bernie. Thank you for your reply! :) I wonder if there will be any huge upsets? This post was edited by RosieG at March 3, 2020 5:07 AM MST

    Bernie has a big following in California.  Bloomberg has said he will put his money behind anyone the Dems put on the ballot.  He may be "in it to win it," but his main goal is to get Trump out.

  • What a choice that leaves for Dems: A senile former VP, a communist, a billionaire with the personality of a wooden indian or a former law professor that proved DNA testing to be incorrect by being more of a native American than Sacajawea who led the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Dems sure know how to pick 'em. Can't think of a political party anywhere that deserves it more.
