Democrats Look Ahead From Nevada and See a Common Enemy: Bloomberg

[RandySF]

LAS VEGAS — The Democratic presidential candidates raced on Sunday to make the most of their final weekend day before the Nevada caucuses, selling their messages and tearing into their opponents.

But the rival they focused on most intently was one who isn’t even competing in the state.

“I got news for Mr. Bloomberg,” Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said at an event in Carson City, Nev., taking aim at the former New York City mayor, Michael R. Bloomberg, within five minutes of opening his remarks. “The American people are sick and tired of billionaires buying elections.”

In a rarity, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. echoed his progressive counterpart. “Sixty billion dollars can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can’t erase your record,” he said of Mr. Bloomberg in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday.

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, another moderate, had similar thoughts. “I’m here getting votes,” Ms. Klobuchar said in an interview on Sunday. “It’s not something where I can just — what would be the word — transport in a bunch of ads.” She called on Mr. Bloomberg to “go on the shows that every other candidate goes on, on the Sunday shows and the like.”

1. I wish it were Trump.

2. I don't trust Bloomberg. He donated to some R's here in PA

In seats we needed to win...as late as 2018 for Fitzpatrick in the House and in 2016 for Toomey in the Senate.

I think he doesn’t like Trump but is still fond of other R’s .

A wolf in sheep’s clothing. With money.

3. Good. Go after the blooming onion and leave Bernie alone.

4. If americans are sick of billionaires buying elections, then he shouldn't have to worry about

Said billionaire, right? Bernie is worried. As he should be. Sp should the other candidates. The Bloomberg machine is a killer.

5. The common enemy is Trump,

Bloomberg is doing a lot of good with his ads. People who do not pay attention are at least seeing something besides right wing nonsense.

6. I like that Bloomberg focuses on Trump.

He said he will support the Democratic candidate regardless of who it is. He isn’t tearing anyone but Trump down.

7. I like what Biden said.. I hope Mike uses his

money to continually take down trump.. not "buy" the presidency.

8. To pretend that the common enemy is anyone other than Donald trump

is a grotesque lie.

9. Bloomberg jumped in a few weeks ago knowing that he would be splitting the centrist votes.

As predicted, the polls show Bernie leading with a cleared progressive lane which he will continue to dominate, unimpeded.

At this rate, he will receive the most delegates and will win the nomination, then Trump will go on to defeat him. It's obvious who our clear and present enemy is..
