Mike Bloomberg Seeks Debate Redemption While Sanders Faces AttackMark Niquette8-10 minutes(Bloomberg) -- Michael Bloomberg is trying for a do-over in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, previewing that he’ll turn his focus to newly minted front-runner Bernie Sanders after a much-criticized debut at last week’s face-off.Seven Democratic candidates will meet in Charleston, South Carolina, for a last encounter before that state’s primary on Saturday, and it would benefit Bloomberg if the rest of the field also sharpened their attacks against Sanders.South Carolina’s primary is the last of the February preliminary rounds before the 14-state Super Tuesday contest on March 3, which includes huge delegate prizes of California and Texas, as well as the populous states of North Carolina and Virginia. Sanders is leading or tied for a top place in many of those states, and Bloomberg and former Vice President Joe Biden are in a fight for runner-up.Read more at: https://news.yahoo.com/bloomberg-seeks-debate-redemption-while-090000450.html

Democrats warm up for big debate, unloading on SandersBy STEVE PEOPLES, MEG KINNARD and BILL BARROWan hour agoCHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Bernie Sanders’ Democratic rivals prepared to unleash a new wave of attacks against the party’s presidential front-runner in a high-stakes debate Tuesday night, perhaps their final prime-time opportunity to change the direction of the 2020 nomination fight.Almost all of the six other candidates set to debate in South Carolina went after Sanders in the hours leading up to the 8 p.m. EST affair.Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, highlighted Sanders’ call for a government-financed health care system as an example of his “polarization.†Former Vice President Joe Biden accused Sanders of trying to undermine President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection. And former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg assailed Sanders’ record on gun control.Read more at: https://apnews.com/6cb5e160744fc577aabc8918c60882b3
The Memo: Democratic rivals have seven days to stop SandersBy Niall Stanage - 02/25/20 06:00 AM EST Rival candidates have just a week to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders if they hope to prevent the Independent from Vermont from taking the party’s presidential nomination.Sanders is the undisputed front-runner in the race after his thumping victory in Nevada’s caucuses on Saturday. His current trajectory is set to carry him to at least a top-two finish in South Carolina’s primary Saturday. From there, he looks likely to roll through Super Tuesday on March 3, harvesting huge numbers of delegates from California and other large states.More at: https://thehill.com/homenews/the-memo/484444-the-memo-democratic-rivals-have-seven-days-to-stop-sanders

‘Shark Tank’ Panelist O’Leary: Zero Chance Sanders Wins — He’d Turn U.S. Into ‘Communist Country’“Shark Tank†panelist Kevin O’Leary said Monday on ABC’s “The View,†that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has zero chance of winning and turning America into a communist country.“Shark Tank†co-host Mark Cuban said, “It’s like pick your choice of crazy. It’s unbelievable. It’s like sitting down with kids and telling fairy tales and hoping something comes true. It’s just, you know, politics used to be around, you know, facts, policies, intellectual discussions. Now it’s, like, whose team are you on, you know, it’s more about what story you want to fall behind. Bernie is ‘Robin Hood’ — take from the rich, give to the poor. I don’t even know what Donald Trump is right, or some of the other candidates.â€He added, “It’s crazy.

Bernie’s getting so worked up, we might expect a health event.
Is it on?
I think Biden’s also getting worked up.
Max Boot@MaxBootThis is now sounding a lot like the last debate—lots of bashing of Bloomberg in particular by Warren. Keep it up and Bernie will be the nominee by this time next week. Man facepalming. #DemDebate2020
