To aid in this selection, several shoot-from-the-hip debates are held, each with a cast of thousands. No one gets to stand out, so it’s open to media hype more is typical. So far, there is a rotating cast of characters keeping the process media friendly. 

I hope you’re right and the next two contests start to focus on a final candidate, but I’m skeptical. With Mike Bloomberg out there, this could go all the way to the convention. That doesn’t bode well for the party of cats.

It must suck having Bloomberg in the mix today. I mean Bloomberg represents everything about the elites that you guys claim to hate. I mean, an actual oligarch running to be your president who has the money to buy and influence every politician/lawmakers on your side with the exception of Bernie maybe.

I do not remember seeing you complain that Donald Trump was in the political mix in 2016. This man offended plenty of conservative sensibilities between his sexual conduct, his serial divorces, his predatory character as a businessman, and his contempt for formal learning. With Trump we have someone who lives for his indulgence, self-esteem, and his image. He believes in nothing but himself. 

If it takes an oligarch to get America on the right track, then so be it. FDR was an outright patrician, which is far better than being a poltroon like Trump. FDR wanted to save the system from its worst tendencies -- and that is exactly what he did.

Dude, I've never been an Evangelical voter. You should know that the stuff about Trump's past doesn't matter to an American voter like me. You should also know that the silly/ petty stuff Trump tweets and entertains himself with from time to time doesn't matter to me either. You should also know that I didn't believe/buy in Mueller/Trump-Russia collusion stuff to begin with like you and everyone on the liberal side either swallowed as gospel or latched on and promoted as the truth either. So, you going to get on Mike's ship and go down with him. Or, are you going to stick with Bernie and pray you don't need any healthcare during the rough transition period as liberals learn another hard lesson about American life and all the freedoms that are attached to it these days. You and most liberals don't seem to learn much from the hard lessons that been given to the liberals lately. Trump believes in us and that's all he has to believe in these days because we've already shown the pesky Republicans what we are willing to do about them and how easy it is for us to let go of them and basically move them to the liberal side these days. So, I assume that democracy must not matter as much to liberals as they claim now that Bloomberg has been obliged and allowed to buy his way into the democratic process unlike Trump. As I recall, Trump was in the Democratic process from the start unlike Bloomberg who needed some rule changes and so forth to enter at this point as a Democratic candidate. I don't know why you are preaching to me and blaming us for all the stuff that we can clearly see that's obviously going on with the Democratic party before your own eyes these days.
