I think the approval polls on Trump demonstrate a more accurate picture. Of those who do approve of this president only do so because of their hatred to any Democratic candidate, not because they really like what this clown is doing to the country. Sort of a misguided pride sort of thing I guess, just like all those who voted for Trump, not because he’s so great, only because they hated Hillary so much!
Last October, before he announced, I said "After the field has whittled down by half, in January Bloomberg will announce his candidacy as a “progressive moderate” and capture sufficient supporters from Bernie, Betty and Joe to be nominated as the Democratic candidate next summer."[https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/466370-even-with-likely-trump-impeachment-democrats-face-uphill-climb#comment-4658276724]
Bernie bros are smelling the fix 2.0 with the rule change to allow Mini Mike on the debate stage. They’re a vile lot, but after 2016 they’ve learned to recognize a rigged system when they see it.
The DNC is already up to their dirty tricks they used in 2016 for Hillary. Today their pick is Bloomberg. The Democratic Party has changed requirements for candidates to earn a spot on the presidential debate stage, a move that could mean Michael Bloomberg will face his rivals for the nomination for the first time. The changes could also knock some other candidates off.
The change will eliminate the current fund-raising requirement, which has kept the former New York mayor out of the debates to date, but also raises the polling threshold to 10% in four approved polls. Bloomberg has yet to meet that mark in a single approved poll. He is now at 8.2% in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls.
But you can be assured they will find a way for him to make it.
Another show of hypocrisy by the Repulsive Crime Cartel. Still waiting to see how low the toads can sink into their putrid SWAMP. Their wart-infested reptile has declared himself in Charge of the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Judicial Branch…Sounds like a dick-tater to me. (Rotten and diseased to boot.) Don’t see 1st Honorary Moscow Citizen Mitch or Lindsey Soggy Grahamcracker trying to save the Republic as they promised in regards to the opening days of the Orange Toad’s diministration. If given a choice between the coronavirus or the Orange Toad, sane people would rather face the virus. At least it shows more consistency and sanity in its behavior.
The reality here is what it says about the effect of $$$$ on both parties. The rule is a certain % of the polls. The cacus committee has debated for years on whether attendance should be based on campaign funding. Blumberg should them so much campaign $$$, more than 3 of the bottom polling candidates, they decided to let him in the door.

At least Bloomberg has “pledged” to put his money to work for the Democratic nominee, whomever that proves out to be.

They are all standing on money, theirs or someone else’s. How tall would Bernie look if he was poor?

The Brits ran a Far left guy against Boris Johnson and Lost Lets not make the same mistake.
The argument is that Bloomberg is not a Democrat, but Neither is Bernie.
