1. Let's be honest, about forty-percent of the Democratic voting crowd, have never recovered from 2016, and their whole focus is to knock Trump out before November's election.
2. Lets also be honest, Bernie Sanders would have won the 2016 primary, if he'd had a level playing field, and a neutral news media.
3. Lets be also honest, and admit that the strategists knew that Mike Bloomberg had several 'flaws', and could not be put in front of the public back in the summer of 2019. As things go now, Bloomberg has hit the point where he could spend $50-million a week, and only gain 10,000 voters per week.
4. Honestly, that impeachment idea didn't really bring in the support that was anticipated, and the news media expended a couple of silver bullets, so there's not much left to fire with....at this point.
5. Did all that impeachment chatter really give Trump around a hundred campaign videos? Yeah, compliments of Shifty and the team.
6. Some of us will miss AOC, if she is beaten in her district in November. She was pure entertainment to watch.
7. Blacks finally asking stupid questions of the Democratic Party? If Trump takes 40-percent of the black vote....then the whole agenda plan for the past thirty years for the Democratic Party....can be thrown out.
8. Can a small-town gay mayor run an effective campaign for the Presidency? Simple answer.....no.
9. The Russians must have at least 300,000 people working day and night....to corrupt up the American voting system. Or.....they have no one assigned to the job, and it's just all stupid luck.
10. All of the people who threatened to leave America if Trump won in 2016.....are still oddly here, registered to vote, and say meekly that they will vote for Bernie.

Joe and His Adventure
Joe Biden now says that back in the 1970s.....he went over as a US Senator to South Africa, and was arrested out on the streets of the country as he was traveling with the UN ambassador.....to visit Nelson Mandela in a South African prison.
First, it would have happened after 3 January 1973.....when he became a Senator.
Second, no one else (even the UN ambassador) can remember Joe being arrested.
Third, if he had been arrested, it'd been a big event back with the Washington Post, and touted as a page-two type story. Well.....it simply never got published.
What I think happened? I think like most congressional boondoggles....he flew into South Africa, and went straight to a four-star hotel, where he laid out by the pool and consumed a vast amount of booze. After five days of this, he came out of the booze period and asked his aide what happened, and the aide told him that he got detained at some point (failing to mention it was at the pool bar and mostly over some figure of speech used to insult the female bartender).
The problem here.....Joe did a yearly boondoggle like this, and probably has thirty different stories to tell....mostly all aligned with heavy boozing at fancy hotels. He probably also dined with Fidel Castro, played golf with Tony Noriega, and sipped whisky with the King of Spain.

The 'Summer Camp'?
At some point in the Vegas debate, Bernie's three houses come up, and then Bernie admits something that people didn't know.....he has a 'summer camp'.
I sat and paused over that term, and how he said it. It wasn't exactly clear what that means.
In Alabama, a 'summer camp' could mean a hut on the Cahaba River, with a tarp over the roof....a Wal-Mart purchased grill on the deck area....a refrigerator with PBR beer, and a rough situation for the toilet.
In Idaho, a 'summer camp' would mean some cabin, with no electricity or running water. It'd be visited by a minimum of two bears a day, and you'd have PBR beer mostly unchilled.
In Detroit, a 'summer camp' would be an abandoned house on the east-side, with Marvin coming by every other day with some fresh weed to smoke. You'd have access to Tiger's games, and some shady ladies would entice you with bawdy jokes during the evening hours.
So what is Bernie's 'summer camp'?
I imagine its a place where Bernie dresses down.....wearing mostly shorts and tank-top shirt, with flip-flops on. I would imagine that he's got forty Dean Martin CDs collected and plays them throughout the day.
For breakfast, he'll settle for coffee and a sausage biscuit. For lunch, he chow down on a tuna sandwich and sip through three gin-sours. And for dinner, it'll be some ribs on the bar-b-q, with a dozen Stroh's American Lager beers.
In a enlightened mood, he'll talk about the 1960s, past fantasies of being President, and episodes of Bay Watch (particularly season 3, episode 8....where the European princess had arrived and is in serious danger until Mitch comes to rescue her).
So we are left to wonder about this 'summer camp' thing. Maybe it's just a hut resting under some bridge in Meredith, NH....where Bernie converses with retired hobos.

The Difference Between Trump and Bloomberg
There are five differences between the two:
1. Trump bluffs....twenty-four hours a day....seven days a week. With Bloomberg, it's a guarded and measured bluff (he's an electrical engineer by trade/university, and he has to sample the bluff, running various tests to ensure it works).
2. Bloomberg is 'wooden' in front of a crowd. Trump is animated, and acts more as a circus ringmaster. Trump wants you to be thrilled and entertained.....thus leaving the 'tent' in a hyped-up state.
3. Bloomberg was originally a Democrat....converted to a Republican....converted to a Independent....converted to a Democrat, and generally acts his way through debates as some 75-percent Democrat/25-percent Republican. Trump? Basically a Republican since age 12.
4. Bloomberg, oddly, believes that more regulation resolves problems. Trump, oddly, believes that less regulation resolves problems.
5. Trump believes in fake news. Bloomberg believes in controlled news (he's ordered various control applications on his owned publications in recent months).

Newsom's Threat
I sat and watched a clip this morning of the California 'State of the Union' speech by Governor Gavin Newsom.
His key idea from this? He wants to fix homelessness in California by find some method (left blank for the most part) to ease the government into a bigger role of forcing (he actually used that word) people into psychiatric treatment. If you had mental illness and living off the street....they'd mandate an exam for you and forced treatment.
All of this....circling around the idea that those who are suggested to be unable to care for themselves....would be put into a permanent facility.
Odds of this happening? I'll make three observations:
1. The governor will likely only fund this agenda item with twenty-odd million, and stage some type of situation with only 200 folks getting mental facility assignments by some judge. It'll prove it works but realistically requires over two-billion dollars a year to accomplish.
2. If you did make this a legit program? I would suggest almost 25,000 people throughout the state would be deemed 'helpless' and forced into actual psychiatric treatment.
3. If this did go to the realistic step of cops picking up people....within ten days....dozens of people per hour....would be leaving the state for other 'safe' locations (Portland, Vegas, Seattle, etc).

Nevada Debate
I would make five observations after watching the debate for the Democrats:
1. With six 'players'.....this moderator team did a marginal job of keeping this on track and 'organized'.
2. 'Mini-Mike' Bloomberg just never did take off. Part of this blame, I'd assign to Senator Warren. She did a five-star job on the guy. On the positive side....he did introduce himself and state a few priorities....beyond that, this debate was a massive negative event for him.
3. The non-disclosure chatter against Bloomberg? It'll beg for more questions, and it's really too messy for some guy to enter the race and expect this to just disappear.
4. Joe Biden? Nothing much to say. He's finished.
5. Here at the critical time-point of the entire campaign....someone should have stood out. No one accomplished that except in the marginal sense of Bernie Sanders pounding the podium. Bernie versus Trump? Capitalism versus socialism? You are giving Trump an unbelievable odds to win.
So my final thoughts....there is one single debate left at this point (15 March). Let's be honest, they should have whittled this down to strictly two people.....Sanders and Bloomberg. The drama factor at this point (on a scale of one to ten)....maybe a '5'. If Bloomberg does win, you can discount any of these five folks on the stage from being his VP choice.

The Mini-Mike Bloomberg School for Coding and Farming
To help out all of us lower intelligent folks who wish to be farmers, I believe Mini-Mike could accomplish the training situation in two weeks:
1-hour hay-hauling safety course
3-hour cattle info course
6-minute orientation on cattle-chute safety (including one practice run with the bull)
14-minute orientation on electrical knowledge for farming
2-hour orientation on fence maintenance
12-hour orientation on how to deal with stupid bankers and politicians
8-minute orientation on changing mower blades
2-hour weather basic knowledge course
2-minute course on identifying male and female cattle
8-minute course on vaccinating cattle
16-hour course on dealing with incompetent county agricultural agents.
30-minute course on barn repair and painting fence posts
The Mini-Mike school would make you an official farmer, with a certificate...with broad chances of operating your very own 2-acre farm on the outskirts of some suburban community.
