Like I said, the inclusion of @MikeBloomberg into the debates was a win-win for Team Sanders, they get to rail about it AND it helps fracture the mainstream faction's vote & increase his odds of winning as I argue in my @guardian piece coming out today
@MikeBloomberg @guardian Here is that @guardian article theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@MikeBloomberg @guardian Keep in mind, the way the two party coalitions are constituted now, black voters are the king makers UNLESS and this a new twist we've not ever seen before, they become bifurcated or trifutcated in their preference.

That changes everything.

Here is the basic fact of where Sanders is in the race. He has won NH by a narrow 2pts, can claim a partial (total vote) win in IA primarily due to no results being reported. These were in 2 overwhelmingly white states. IOW: these were weaker than expected performances. HOWEVER,
due to the now trifurcation + of the moderate wing of the party Sanders' small plurality of the high 20s is becoming the winning margin & until & unless that changes down the stretch, he will likely become the nominee. And it is quite likely by the time where mods realize they
have this problem enough to overcome egos, it will be far too late. This is exactly what happened to the mod faction in 2016 (although it should be noted, Trump did NOT face the troubles down the stretch Sanders *may* face w voters of color, which as I show, are the majority of

The reason that analysts like myself caution people that we can't really know who the new mainstream frontrunner will be until the SC primary (or even for sure that will be a new one, although this is all but certain at this point) is bc black voters are immensely influential in
in the southern states, this you know. But what you may not know is why they are so powerful. Sure, you probably know that that states like SC are racially diverse, so of course, voters of color are going to be important in the Dem primary. Other than party ID, the most reliable
predictor of vote choice for an individual comes from whether a voter is black. Due to civil rights issues, black voters break for Dems at rates similar to the rates that partisans break for their parties: in general, 90% of black voters will break for the D candidate in an

Keep in mind, Trump is not the first R to use the heavy hand of gov to come after a private citizen & abuse oversight powers strategically up destroy them politically: he got the idea from the House GOP. It worked wonders & the media fed right into it. It’s clear they would again
In their effort to appear non-partisan they easily avail themselves to become useful tools for smear campaigns. Keep in mind: 9 Benghazi committees found no wrongdoing. The last uncovered the use of a private email server, slightly unsavory sure,but certainly not a scandal. Half
Of Trump admin has already violated similar rules 3 years in. Just during the impeachment hearings & trial media, even so-called liberal media like the Times & MSNBC continually normalized GOP’s really abnormal claims that they wanted the Biden’s to be fact witnesses in a trial

Caveat that we will have no idea which candidate is truly viable until we see how they all fare with voters of color, the fears that some Democrats, Indies and Republicans who see Trump's re-election as an existential threat have about nominating @BernieSanders are real. HMO...
Jeremy Corbyn's Labor fail, which @JamesCarville brought up again on @MorningJoe today is the fear that stalks a lot of ppl who see Brexit, Boris & Corbyn as equally predictive of our fate. Sanders supporters should explain, without attacking, why he wouldn't be Corbyn 2.0.
It's clear that Sanders voters (and really supporters of all the campaigns) are feeling attacked and defensive at this stage of the campaign. But it is the fear of an electoral wipeout that is driving Dem-leaning voters. Every candidate needs to explain how they can actually win.

For those of you that follow me, my friends I consider family, I haven't been on today bc I had a bad fall.

I'm ok...
As many of you know, I already have ruptured discs, congenital disorder which is where your spinal cords doesn't have enough space in your sheath, a syrinx, & multiple bulging discs, osteophytes, etc...

As you guys know, I was banned from coaching little league after I was doxed last year. I had lead my son's teams for 12 seasons.

The loss was devastating for both of us.

We used that special time to see each other more, as I am divorced.

Here's an (amazing) update:
First off all, they told me I was banned the night before his 11 year old try out. He didn't get the news until 1030PM that night. It was rough.

But the next day, I took him there and we both held our head's high.

He performed well and was a high draft pick.
Then this year is his 12 year old season. His last and final little league year. The year he has a chance to go to the Little League World Series.

To say that he (and I) were excited for this season is an understatement.

We'd talked about it since he was 5 years old.
