Right. The polls favored Democrats.
and the democrats went on to receive 3 million more votes, so i'd say that the polls were pretty accurate.

Right. The polls favored Democrats. Which is why the closer numbers for Sanders makes people very nervous.
on a day when Trump has just pardoned 13 people who are, generally, wealthy political insiders who have connections to Trump supporters, you are indeed all about the "me" and not the "we" if you have the opportunity to vote against Trump and choose not to exercise that opportunity to vote.
Proclaiming that you won’t vote for X Democrat nominee because s/he doesn’t fully support X policy, when the alternative is Donald J. Trump, seems to be the very height of privilege. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
I also don’t see how anyone could think that anyone the D’s nominate is going to pursue a platform that different from the others. It’s not like Bernie will impose M4A by fiat, nor will Bloomberg impose a nationwide stop-and-frisk program or do anything even remotely anti-trans just because he once (idiotically) used the word “it.”
We need to start to peel politics apart from identity. Identity politics is what gave us Trump.
He will take all the jabs tonight. His presence, tomorrow at least, is a godsend for Sanders - as Sanders, as the front runner, would have been the one with the knives coming for him.So question...
If Bloomberg just gets beat to shit tomorrow night. What happens?
My best guess. Because his rise in the polls has been completely abstract and somewhat artificial. I think you see his poll numbers tank almost immediately.
Next question. What if Bloomberg comes out and just tears it up tomorrow night?
My best guess. People's thoughts in the back of their minds that he is one that can beat Trump is realized and you see a complete dismissal of Biden/Amy/Warren/Pete. And he pulls even in the polls with Bernie.
My assumption. He does... ok. Takes a lot of hits, gives some hits, but nothing groundbreaking.
Now if Biden doesn't come out swinging tomorrow night. And he thinks he can fly under the radar of Bernie and Bloomberg going at each other. He doesn't deserve to win.

Is it not fair to want to know the full health report of a 78 year old who had a heart attack months ago?
Same goes for Trumps medical visit that we’ve all forgotten about.
Or are there no rules or norms anymore ?
Clinton gets overheated and the news cycles were calling her time of death.

It’s like they’re modeling after someone...
Who, Trump? You mean Trump, who wouldn’t have openly admitted he had a heart attack?
What is your statement trying to say here? Bernie Sanders is modeling after Donald Trump? HOW?

The person who could gain the most by having a good night is Amy. I think she's the only one who could really sting Bloomberg. Pete has his issues from South Bend and Biden voted for the crime bill (so did Bernie, btw... which I think will be Bloomberg's response to attacks here. A "we all have our mistakes" thing), so I don't know how much they want to go down the attack road on stop and frisk. Amy can go all in if she chooses.
The person with the most to lose is obviously Biden. If he (again) looks like he's lost a step, and Bloomberg does well? Man... even though he's still doing fairly well in the state by states, I just don't see how he survives.
