I'm having trouble finding any of those memes, I don't think they're really ... catching on.

Bumber, this video is why I don't sleep at night.

Because people yell at you if you lick their doorknobs during the day?

Show me in the law where it says I can't lick someone else's doorbell. I'm well within my rights.

FiveThirtyEight predicts a very interesting SuperTuesday.

We will see. If things turn out like they predict, I foresee a lot of very brown knickers in the DNC.

Those numbers seem odd when you consider how well Buttyget has been doing so far.

Maybe if the Buttigieg people are jumping ship to Bloomberg or something. I don't follow your guys closely enough to know their policies or voter-bases exactly however so may be off-base there.

Possibly Bloomberg is appealing to people who would normally vote republican and see him as most aligned to their interests. There is also a group who are ardently against Sanders and will fall in line behind the next strongest candidate. Not sure how every state handles primaries, though, so I could be totally off there.

Bloomberg is spending more money on ads this month than the majority of the people in this thread will ever have in their lifetimes. That gives him a huge edge, and there's several Super Tuesday states where Sanders is going to do very poorly. That leaves Biden and Bloomberg, so Bloomberg has a decent chance in those states. These are also states that are pretty much already counted for Trump, so they're not that important in the general, but they can affect the primaries some.

Ninja'd but yeah.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-campaign-ads/

The fact that he's spending, most weeks, more than every other campaign combined, on ads has a big effect.

It doesn't affect everyone, especially if you've been paying attention, but the ads go after people who specifically don't consume other political media, such as debates or pundit analyzing.

Ad Boomberg even sounds reasonable. And in some places, he's the only thing on TV or in the paper. Even where the other candidates are putting money into ads, he'll still likely have as many or more ads than they will. Name recognition means a lot, and it helps he's got a popular national scale newspaper with his name on it, and was mayor of New York City in one of its more memorable eras.

Name recognition. Name recognition. Name recognition. It's what was keeping Biden afloat for so long and now he's managed to ensure people will never forget his name by simply making sure it's the one they hear most often.

Trump's now decided to tell his cultists the coronavirus is a hoax.

At this point it's only a matter of time before some Bernie bro figures out how to create a biological agent in his garage and use Trump's pathological inability to admit problems to have his supporters race to catch it to prove how harmless it is, thereby ensuring a Democratic majority.
