Diversity yields better decision making. That is a proven fact.

Then Ru Paul is the best VP choice. Hard to get more diverse than that.

A democratic strategist was on Fox last night saying in his opinion that this was all planned by DNC and Bloomberg. As a private citizen he couldn't contribute a lot of money to Biden, he is limited. So he throws his name in for POTUS last minute, spends hundreds of millions in advertisement and sucks support away from other candidates especially Bernie. Then calls it quits and throws support behind Biden.

Interesting theory...and very plausible.
Re: Presidential Election 2020
Warren is dropping out today. Guess her deal has been made, except many pundits think this will help Comrade Bernie.

Makes sense. His commercials were still running 12 hours after he quit.

Some crazy study out there with a very small sampling proved it a "fact".:icon_roll:

Listening to David Axelrod yesterday, he believes Warren didn't cost Bernie the state of Texas, but she almost certainly cost him Maine, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. That was his opinion.
If Super Tuesday would have played out that way the media spin would have been somewhat different.
Re: Presidential Election 2020
I also really wonder about Joe Biden. He's been a gaffe machine his entire career. But I really wonder if what we've seen over the past few months isn't something different.
My wife's 86 year old aunt - who watches all of this non-stop (and loves it) insists that the people around Biden (wife, sister, and campaign aides) usher him around like the kids of her friends usher them around when they visit from assisted living. She insists there is no way he could be president.
Listen to the sound from the :53 second mark. His wife Jill is having to tell him that's "it's ok". It's as if he doesn't quite know what's going on around him.

Here's something interesting from the BBC on Mike Bloomberg. Check out 3:08 to about 4:30.
The BBC sent a staffer to several of Bloomberg's offices around Los Angeles to check out their operation given all the money he was spending. This is what he found:

I have to think it's more than gaffes at this point. Seems like the lights are off and nobody is home. Maybe he will show something different during the "debates"....I hope so, because he could win on Trump hate alone.

Bloomberg's whole campaign was based on a media blitz. Not surprising he had no ground game, mostly because he never even tried to establish one.

Not sure if this is true or not, but a coworker told me today that Bloomberg bought up a block of commercial time scheduled to run through November, as it was cheaper to buy up big blocks. Now that he has dropped out and endorsed Biden, Joe can use those bought ads with his own ads instead of Bloombergs. Creative way to infuse $$$ into a campaign that was on its last dollar.
