Joe: Mike Bloomberg Is Now Hurting Joe Biden | Morning Joe | MSNBC
And how many black folk has Joe locked up ?
@S Miller yeah yeah yeah Bernie 2020 or Trump again. I want Biden nowhere near the White House.
@DANNY BOY How about voting for someone you have passion for? can we do that? Or is this just another polka game?
@DANNY BOY oh gawd
@Rafical – $97trillion, Green New Deal as well. Who said he will net $25trillion though?
it’s called a Swiss bank account and tax havens, invest elsewhere etc.
Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
0:40🙄No Mika that WASN’T powerful.
A powerful endorsement will be filled with policy rather than platitudes.
I wish Joe knew #M4A, #GND and a living wage rather than just knowing Jim.
But he knows Joe😂😂😂😂
@EDWARD 0383 and joe knows Barack. So, he wins right?
@theRev767 And ya gotta wonder why Barack hasn’t supported Joe. Does anyone look at that? I’d say there’s a BIG clue.
Bernie is obvioulsly winning. This is so desperate.
@Deborah Freedman I’ll repeat it all day if you like. They ran on healthcare.
@Deborah Freedman The best form is a public option? Are you an insurance rep? What a stupid statement. Unfortunately for you, i’m not projecting. Calling people what they are is what i do.
@Deborah Freedman He’s not a communist. He would be considered a moderate lefty, slightly left of center here in Scandinavia. Nothing to do with the east bloc or Iron Curtain. Is your frontal cortex working properly?
@Deborah Freedman Then we’ll do it through a payroll deduction just to keep you happy. The larger point: Bernie can put a proposal before congress, but you and your reps have to make it work, so be sure to put your two cents in. That’s the way we do things the U.S., or at least the way we used to do things BEFORE DJT.
And Joe knows lobbyists…
Oh wait a minute I thought Trump was going to get rid of all the lobbyists my bad
@Gary Woodruff Dude please. Trump is 10 times more corrupt than Joe Biden.
Joe you really need to stop letting your bias show. Try to be professional instead of pushing Biden.
Those who does not see the boast of this are just like the ones on the other side of the political spectrum. While defending FOX news at the same time. Sorry, do nit mean to be a jerk, just the way I see it. Have a nice day everyone.
That’s right. They ARE admittedly Biden people, aren’t they? hmm. I wish news was news again and not opinion.
I love how these people blurt out their wishful thinking like it was analysis
It is analysis and all the non-Bernie candidates can say the same thing, there are 4 or 5 people in this race hurting my chances. And they all think they can win for that reason and they will stay in the race till Bernie has close to 30 wins. They did go over the top Bloomberg is a patriot backing Biden, inferring Bernie is not a patriot, the non-patriot bar is Trump, with all self serving foreign entanglement (and it goes beyond Russia), and no one in the Republican field comes close to that. He has policies for his bas which is a minority of the Democrats, and there is little chance they will become law unless he can do a Trump with all Democratic voters, and that is it beyond that he is no different from any of the other candidates. Again Trump is the one openly wishing the US were an autocratic State and has appointed cabinet member and Supreme Court justices to push the country in that direction and if this continues the next 20 years it could happen, Putin’s Russia also has a Constitution, another reason Trump is the non-patriot bar, Bernie and the rest of the Republican field all look like George Washington when compared to Trump.
@myko freder you totally misunderstood my point
I was thinking similar. The idea that someone would spend $500 million on advertising for a presidential run, get not trivial polling and then drop out before being on a single ballot? Complete denial.
God I hope you’re right!
Support who you will but this coverage is too biased. Message from MSNBC is that “if Bloomberg wants to be American hero he has to drop out to make sure Sanders is not nominated…” So the description for American hero is now opposition to Sanders.
“Joe Biden knows us.” Okay, but what has he DONE for you?
@Anthony Harden
Yes. It’s a strong possibility. It’s ridiculous to have a nominee with opposite extreme tendency. I’ve had enough of the EXTREMISM from Trump and his cronies.
If Bernie wants to forgive students debts, he should’ve forgive my own debts, and yours, and his, and hers, and theirs…. And Medicare for all…. Soon, America is bankrupt…
I want to be a President, too. Everything is free under my administration. Vote for me…
His negotiations with congressional Republicans helped the Obama administration pass legislation including the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, which resolved a taxation deadlock; the Budget Control Act of 2011, which resolved that year’s debt ceiling crisis; and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which addressed the impending fiscal cliff.
MR intel
I sure know white Bernie supporters shouldn’t be asking that question and I see too many of them are.
WTF are they talking about!?! Biden is well past his expiration date! He doesn’t even know what year it is or whether he’s running for President or Senate. NO MSNBC ABSOLUTELY NOT! #Bernie2020
@Paul Kern Numbers mean nothing. One’s chronological age has nothing to do with their mental or physical age. Nothing. Some people are old at 50. Some aren’t old at 90. Stop the ageism. We are the only country that worships youth. But age is wisdom.
@7thLetter Speaks I’m so tired of ageism in this country Other countries think the older the better. The old are looked upon as the masters and for good reason. Not here. Nope. Youth is worshipped here. ugh.
@Paul Kern because the opposition is the establishment, the very thing we need to get rid of.
@chevon1920 I wouldn’t even say it’s something new to try. I’d say its a truth to enact to give the establishment a kick in the proverbial azz.
@David Devin Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Donny Deutsche personifies the plastic nature of morning Joe to the tee
He’s a a wealthy Trustfunder who’s best friend is Michael Cohen. Why anyone should care about what he has to say baffles me. He also is terrified of having to pay his fair share of Tax.
Nelly Wes—Apparently Donny is worth $250,000,000 .
He’s a weasel.
This reeks of desperation.
Gerald Jackson
Respecting the votes of African American voters isn’t “desperation”. 70% of voters don’t want Bernie. Deal with it.
@Wendy Pastore I think that Bernie is much stronger with the AA community than the polls indicate. They cook the numbers by polling mostly 65 and older voters to give Biden the appearance of strength. Bernie has 70 percent of the youth vote which is turning out in record numbers.
@Mike Airborne yup
@Wendy Pastore Where did you get that number so I can look at it?
@Gerald Jackson They are and they will continue to because there is passion behind him unlike the others.
These rich guys think they can do anything. Unfortunately, they lack empathy for the rest of us.
How much money do you need to make before you lose your empathy?
@El Tigre Didn’t Bill Gates just join forces with Monsanto?
@Taff Ness I believe he just joined forces with Monsanto. That’s pretty damned bad.
Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jka Vill bot
“Joe knows us” yes he knows that you want him to protect YOUR corperate interests.
Yeah he know them. He know theyre fools.
All politicians have them in all parties..
“Corperate” lol
@Trainer RED that’s a fairly biased assessment and demeaning comment. I’m not so sure Biden isn’t an establishment hero. His track record isn’t a good one.
“This is his chance to be a patriot…” _Seriously??_ Wow, mainstream media talking heads remain totally out of touch with realities on the ground. Stunning.
Yeah, seriously. That would be a totally patriotic move on Bloomberg’s part.
@Celefin Sorry, I expected pushback and thought you were giving me some. You make a good point. I can’t define whom I think determines electability. I pay attention to what my family, a bunch of Trumpies, say for one thing. I also watch an occasional Fox news video to see what the right is thinking. And the usual line of Fox BS is Sanders is a Socialist or Communist. Democrats who worry about Sanders electability usually give the reason that Sanders has been defined by the right as a Socialist or even a Communist. I like Sanders, but I just don’t think the general electorate will vote for Bernie. And then we get 4 more Trump years (kind of like dog years).
Absolutely.. Joe and his MSNBC buddies on Morning Joe are REACHING as usual. Bloomberg’s support is soft and all these centrist seem happy for a billionaire “republican” to be at the top of the Democratic ticket.
@james davis No problem, and I get where you’re coming from. I’m just stumped as well, because I fear that Biden will just be Clinton 2.0, probably worse. Whatever determined 2015 in the end, I think it’s fairly well established that preserving the status quo as it was in 2015 is not a winner. I really don’t know. But I really, really hope that potential democratic voters will vote to get Trump out, no matter who. I’d love for it to be Bernie, but really… at this point even a potato would do. Just end this madness.
@Some Guy they need to fall in line and get behind Bernie now
Harry Reid? You do realize Biden got crushed in Nevada, right? Oh wait…”strong” second place.
Keep spinning, MSNBC. Keep spinning.
Jerry Williams *_BIDEN 2020_*
@A A feel the Bern 2020
I will not vote for Creepy Joe.
Only the programmed people that still watch mainstream media vote for the fraud Biden, and Bloomberg
Maybe you shouldn’t be hanging your hopes on a candidate who so fragile. That’s called being a loser.
#stillsanders
Wtf ?? MSDNC ?? the stop Bernie at all costs campaign continues !!! Bernie or bust this is a war against the filth system
hew195050 what are u taking abt trump is going to frame him as a socialist which will easily hand trump reelection
hew195050 u can say you’ll make everything free but how are u going to pay for it? oh right, by increasing the middle class taxes and trying to get a spending bill of over 60 trillion dollars to be approved by congress
@ALWAYS INCENTIVES TRUMP ETHICS Anything that takes from one and gives to another trying to even it out. Socialism is the brother to Communism. Maybe you can recognize this as you remember the USSR stood for Union of Soviet (Socialist) Republic that was in fact communist.
The ignorant and narrow-minded are feeling the Bern🔥🔥🔥. Good!!
Aryan Jain he’s going to try and succeed with his base. Big deal. BUT he will not dissuade his supporters and the passion he brings is intense. I think this is what will happen.
Clyburn laying it on with a shovel there; how can you get so emotional over someone whose only goal is to return the country to 2015.
You can imagine Noam Chomsky and George Carlin standing there like “yep…”
The status quo: “We know Joe and Joe knows us, that is why we support him”.
We call that nepotism.
