At CNN Joe Lockhart makes an urgent plea—help us Obiwan Kenobi Mike Bloomberg! You’re our only hope:
In any political campaign, candidates need to know what they stand for, and who — or what — they’re up against. At this stage in the game for Bloomberg, that enemy is not Trump. It’s Sen. Bernie Sanders and the election calendar.
If Bloomberg wants to make it past the Democratic National Convention in July, his strategy needs to change –quickly. His first objective is to nab the nomination, and to do that, he needs to direct his resources to take down Sanders before he even has a chance at Trump.
As it stands, Sanders has a chance to run the table as the rest of the field fights each other for the honor of coming in second. Sanders has emerged as the Democratic front-runner, and his support stands at 25% among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, according to the most recent Quinnipiac poll.
But that’s not enough to win the general election. I don’t believe the country is prepared to support a Democratic socialist, and I agree with the theory that Sanders would lose in a matchup against Trump. In a general election battle between two divisive figures who both preach the politics of grievance, I believe Trump will win the battle to the bottom and remain the last man standing.
or, said another way, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. That’s what Rahm Emanuel has been warning about for over a month.
Or, said yet another way, we have a choice between orange and red.
Controversial yet interesting times we live in.
Yes! Save us from Sanders.
Why not cry Save us from Trump?
Because things are going well after three years despite all the noise.
I hope for all of our sakes he gets another term.
