LIVEBLOG: Super Tuesday | Talking Points Memo

When Alesci pointed out that Warren was still in the race, Bloomberg gave a snarky retort: “I didn’t realize she’s still in. Is she?”

Snarky indeed. Jerky works too. I never heard this quote, because it wasn’t featured on any of the 8 ads on my podcasts. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Note that this violates the Hatch act, federal employees are not allowed to make statements like this…though the Hatch act appears to be dead at this point, thanks to the Republicans not bothering to hold anyone in the administration responsible for their campaign activities as federal employees.

I’m sure they will fully investigate anyone in a Democratic administration who utters a single word that makes it sound like they are making a campaign statement for the Democratic president though…we just can’t have Democrats taking advantage of the Republican rule breaking, that just would be wrong. /s

Looks like the Dow fell almost 800 points today despite the Fed making a huge emergency rate cut…that doesn’t bode well for Trump and company. I saw a report that shipments into the Los Angeles port are down 25% in Feb, expected to be down 15% for the first quarter…that will reverberate through the economy for the next few months, likely become a drag no matter what the Fed tries to do.

Note that the Fed moved more aggressively here than they did during the recession…more shoring up of Trump and the Republicans? Sigh.

And that’s just one aspect.

Either there will be a reckoning, soon, or Orwell’s complete nightmare will soon be ours.

Getting an endorsement from Comey is like getting an endorsement from Corona virus.

Azar is so irritating. He comes out and says that NIH has developed a coronavirus vaccine in 3 days, then Fauci has to walk it back, and explain, yes, still about a year to viable vaccine. Trump wants to hear that there is a vaccine in a few days.

["Here’s President Trump’s armchair analysis on Super Tuesday:

After accusing Democrats of trying to steal the nomination away from Sanders, Trump added that he ‘would’ve said two or three days ago Biden was not looking too good, now he’s looking better.’ "]

Why is that important enough to mention?

Here’s what I surmised by watching his rally last night. Trump thinks Joe may be the winner but he wants to get in enough innuendos that Bernie is getting screwed so Democrats keep fighting between themselves.

Yup Dow, Nasdaq and the S&P all down nearly three percent. So much for that interest rate reduction from the Fed.

I believe that Trump trying to say “Bernie wuz robbed” actually would increase black voter turnout for Biden.

In any state.

Who does this racist fucker think he’s kidding?
