Sanders: Bloomberg Doesn‘t Have The Right To Buy This Election, „Obscene“ That He Skipped Early States
SANDERS: You know, we pride ourselves on being the longest-standing democracy in the world. And we‘re proud of that. To me, what that means, one person, one vote. If you want to run for president, you run for president. You‘ve got good ideas, maybe you win, maybe you don‘t win.
But I do think it‘s a bit obscene that we have somebody who, by the way, chose not to contest in Iowa, in Nevada, in South Carolina, in New Hampshire where all of the candidates, we did town meetings, we were talking to thousands and thousands of people, working hard. He said, I don‘t have to do that. I‘m worth $60 billion. I have more wealth than the bottom 125 million Americans. I‘ll buy the presidency. That offends me very much.
And tomorrow night…

Bloombergâs Rising Polls Show The Power Of Billionaire Narrative Control
Back in November Mike Bloomberg was polling at four percent nationally and had the highest disapproval rating of any potential Democratic presidential candidate, and understandably so; the man has a uniquely horrible record and no redeeming traits to speak of.
Now, after spending $400 million in broadcast, radio and cable ads, $42 million on Facebook ads, $36 million on Google ads, and an unknown fortune on other shady manipulations, a national Quinnipiac poll released last week put him at 15 percent nationally in the Democratic primary. This week national polls released by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist and Zogby put him at 19 and 20 percent, respectively.
Mike Bloomberg Ran Stasi-Style Police and Surveillance Operations Against Muslim Americans
New York University professor Nikhil Pal Singh, author of âRace and Americaâs Long War,â dissects Bloombergâs record, his âracial terrorâ tactics in New York City, and what his candidacy says about the state of electoral politics in the U.S. Attorney Diala Shamas of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who fought Bloomberg over his Muslim surveillance program, describes the New York Police Departmentâs âDemographics Unitâ that targeted Muslim Americans and their businesses, houses of worship, and restaurants. Shamas compares the surveillance program to some of the activities of the East German Stasi secret police and says Bloombergâs use of the program should be seen as an ominous sign of what he might do as president.
ThĂŒringer Landtagsfraktion: Mike Mohring stellt Kooperationsverbot mit Linkspartei infrage
Lieberknecht hatte zuvor ihrer Partei eine „verlĂ€ssliche parlamentarische Vereinbarung mit der Linken“ empfohlen, um die Regierungskrise in ThĂŒringen zu beenden.

Regierungskrise in ThĂŒringen: Lieberknecht fordert CDU zur Wahl Ramelows auf
Sie halte es jetzt fĂŒr die „sauberste Lösung“, die vorhandene Mehrheit zu nutzen, sagte sie dem SPIEGEL. Also jene Mehrheit von Linken und CDU, die in ThĂŒringen zusammen auf fast 53 Prozent der Stimmen kommen.
Dabei solle die CDU nicht nur die Wahl von Ex-Linken-MinisterprĂ€sident Bodo Ramelow aktiv unterstĂŒtzen, sondern darĂŒber hinaus auch eine stabile Regierung ermöglichen.

Itâs time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president
For decades, the conversation about nominations has been about the conflicts between party elites and everyone else. Today, that conversation is counterproductive. A better approach is to think about how voters and elites could best play their different roles: to make their political parties more representative while ultimately narrowing the nomination choice down to one person. And the best way to do that would be through preference primaries.

Bernie Sandersâ campaign to request recount of Iowa caucuses
Bernie Sandersâ presidential campaign plans to ask for a partial recount of the Iowa caucus results after the state Democratic Party released results of its recanvass late Tuesday that show Sanders and Pete Buttigieg in an effective tie.
Sanders campaign senior adviser Jeff Weaver told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the campaign has had a representative in contact with the Iowa Democratic Party throughout the recanvass process.
If these results stand Buttigieg would still get 14 national delegates (the ones that actually matter) to Bernieâs 12. Totally democratic system we have!
