Joe Biden's comeback is not only upending the presidential primary, but revealing new insights into the limits of money in politics and Biden's potential strength. In a discussion of an exclusive MSNBC special report documenting each campaign's spending per vote, Obama and Clinton campaign veteran Blake Zeff and the New York Times Michelle Goldberg analyze the campaigns' spending, some limits on the impact of money in politics, and the remaining ways the billionaires' can distort democracy even when their spending does not propel them far in campaigns, as in the case of Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 3/4/2020.

Joe Biden's Billionaire Blowout | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
The only limit was this oligarchs complete imbecilic campaign…..his staffers weren’t even supporting him….
Joe Biden mixed up his sister with his wife in his victory speech last night.
It was cute.
“All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.” “Alright Chuck”… Hahahaha
Bloomberg in his ads are like the delicious, fresh, mouth-watering burger you see on a fast food commercial.
Bloomberg at the debates is the sad, flattened, sloppy thing passing as food you get in reality.

I like you, Ari. And I’m sorry to say that after your giant fluff job on Biden along with the rest of your corporate cronies at MSNBC–and CNN et al–i am cancelling MSNBC and watching only independent coverage of the election. And while i used to think it was cute that you use black rappers as a platform for your personality as a white 1%er, you also helped Biden do the same with the people of S. Carolina and elsewhere and for that it will take a lot to forgive.
Congratulations President Trump on your win.
SCOTUS makes sure there is plenty of money in American politics.
SCOTUS was lost when they stopped the recount in Florida and handed Bush the election. 16 + years in the middle east, for what? The MIC to siphon trillions from the people. Disgusting.
Being successful isn’t a crime
No, but being a criminal can make you successful. So can being immoral or unethical.
What a daft comment.
Eco Geek why are you so jealous of success? Is that how your parents raised you or something you learned in school?
Trump was elected because the Dem party establishment alienates almost 50% of their own potential base by mistreating and misrepresenting progressives (“Bernie Bros”). They unite against them, rely on billionaire donors to outspend them, bend the rules against them, rail against them in public, insult progressives and females by calling everyone a “toxic Bernie Bro”, offer them NOTHING in the way of reaching out to them (no policy compromises, no representation, nothing) – then they literally expect them to donate their vote, and then berate them when progressives stay home and REFUSE to vote for people who REFUSE to represent them. As per democracy.
The railing against Sanders is the EXACT reason Trump was elected last time. That is reality. Dems are NOT united, because you offer progressives LESS THAN NOTHING.
Good luck with that method. Do not blame “toxic Bernie Bros” or “communism”. It is you. Entitled, stubborn, intransigent moderates. Again. You have history to learn from. Don’t say you were not warned.

Bernie WILL hand Trump the win if he doesn’t STOP. And in my opinion, it appears that is EXACTLY what he wants on behalf of those dictators he luvs so much. Trump no question promoted Bernie, that’s ALL we need to know.
Abraham Lincoln grew up in a log cabin with a dirt floor. Abe walked to school barefoot and 8 miles a day. tRump grew up with a gold spoon in his fat lying lips. Bloomberg is daddy war bucks and he’s a billionaire many times over while Bernie Sanders is humble and a man of the people for the people.
My caucus!!:(
Que Bono, counselor? Who did Bloomburg pay all that money to? Was it ads on MSNBC? Dude, it’s getting really hard not to see both sides as a complete cancer now.
“the limits of money in politics and Biden’s potential strength” is a shameless spin considering Biden is getting all the air time just like Clinton and Trump did in 2016. Trump got billions in free air time just because the media loved the ratings. When Sanders made history by winning the popular vote in first 3 states in a row you ignored it, in fact, argued against its importance. MSNBC is owned by Comcast, an anti-democratic monopoly that should be broken up under the constitution’s Anti-Trust laws. Sad the Supreme Court has been filled with political hacks. This is Orwell’s nightmare come to life.
Well,i guess another democrat will have the honor of losing to Trump.
The strength of Bernie’s campaign has allowed him to withstand the onslaught of bad faith reporting on him funded by nearly ~100 billionaires. The primary remains head to head despite anti-Bernie bias in media. Think about it; Bernie has endured the combined forces of the establishment and billionaires; and Bernie and Biden are basically tied in delegate count #Aintovertillisover
Yes they witch very crazy with crazy law .yes they daid buy by cash money .
Very crazy .
