The Democratic candidates fought it out in the Nevada caucuses on Saturday, capping a week that was highlighted by a raucous debate in Las Vegas that left thirty-seven million viewers cross-eyed. A billionaire, a Socialist and a gay guy walk into a bar. The bartender says, where's the Indian?
Michael Bloomberg dove into a piranha tank in Las Vegas Wednesday when Mike joined the Democratic debate against five battle-hardened candidates. The four-hundred million dollars he's spent on TV ads didn't help him on this stage. In Las Vegas, your money talks. It says goodbye.
The Democratic candidates held a highly entertaining debate in Las Vegas. Their true colors came out. My favorite moment was when Bernie Sanders repeatedly banged his shoe on the lectern and demanded that President Eisenhower stop the U-2 spy flights over the Soviet Union.
The Democratic presidential candidates held a knock-down drag out debate at the Paris Hotel and Casino theater in Las Vegas on MSNBC. If anything, Michael Bloomberg learned his first big lesson in presidential debates. Never bring a checkbook to a gunfight.
A Gallup Poll showed that Americans are more politically divided and at odds than at any time since the Civil War. Even information is now partisan. A study shows that Republicans label all the news they don't like as Fake News while Democrats label all the news they don't like as Fox News.
President Trump flew to India for an official state visit where he addressed a hundred thousand Indians in the world's largest cricket stadium. American presidents love the security of giving speeches in India. If the Teleprompter malfunctions, tech support is just a local call.
The Democratic National Committee changed its donor rules thus allowing Mike Bloomberg to participate in the South Carolina debate. I like his voter outreach effort. I gassed up my car last night, and before I could pay for it with my credit card, it spit out a receipt that read Paid for by Bloomberg 2020.
South Carolina is the site of tonight's tenth Democratic presidential candidates' debate airing live on CBS. The debate in Vegas was a hoot. We all played Cowboys and Indians as kids, so it was really fun watching Bloomberg and the other five candidates playing Rodney King and the LAPD.
Bernie Sanders gave an interview to CBS's 60 Minutes Sunday in which he tried to soft-pedal the negative impact of socialism on America if he becomes president. Bernie assured the country that he's the unifier who will bring us all together. He has the gulag already picked out.
President Trump addressed India in the world's largest cricket stadium, then saw the Taj Mahal. The state visit really stepped on the Democratic primary. It provided quite a contrast, Donald Trump being cheered by 125,000 Indians and Mike Bloomberg getting scalped by Liz Warren.
Michael Bloomberg used massive TV ad spending to meet all six requirements to participate in the Dem debate in South Carolina. He's determined to make his mark with the South Carolina voters. His campaign letters are delivered to each home by the Publisher's Clearinghouse Prize Patrol.
The White House moved to calm both public and market fears about the possible spread of the Corona Virus in the U.S. It was swiftly politicized. The stock market fell three thousand points in three days Thursday, prompting Obama to declare that four days ago was the last day of his economy.
The New York Stock Exchange fell three thousand points in three days last week. The reasons are debatable. Analysts say investors fear Bernie Sanders more than they do Corona Virus because, although Corona Virus may kill you, being dead won't stop you from voting Democrat this November.
