Centrist Democrats Want to Stop Sanders. They’re Not Sure Who Can.
The collapse of Joltin' Joe Biden’s support in the first two states, and the fragmentation of so-called moderate voters among several other candidates, allowed crazy-ass whackjob Sanders to claim a victory in New Hampshire and a split decision in Iowa with former Mayor and erstwhile newcummer Petey Buttigieg.
In both states, a majority of voters supported candidates closer to the liberal version of what they think the center is, and all of them stand on that one same foot - defeating President Trump as their top priority. There was no overwhelming favorite among those voters as to which 'moderate' was the best alternative to Mr. Sanders. Unless such a favorite soon emerges, party leaders may increasingly look to Michael R. Bloomberg as a potential savior.
Repeat that phrase and let it sink in.
Bloomberg as a potential savior.
Bloomberg as a potential savior.
Bloomberg as a potential savior.
Bloomberg as a potential savior.
Bloomberg as a potential savior.

Think about this for a minute.
This is the Unions attacking the uber-liberals, but not the way you'd think they are.
The unions don't like the idea of 'Medicare for all' because they've fought too hard for their employer-provided health care and don't want that fucked with in any way.

AOC says Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk damage-control bid falls short
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Wednesday that she wasn’t buying billionaire presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s attempt to distance himself from his 2015 remarks about “stop and frisk,” a controversial anti-crime policy that was used when he was mayor of New York City.
“People's lives were ruined,” Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told reporters on Capitol Hill about the Bloomberg policy, according to The Hill. “So are those folks going to get their records expunged? With a tweet? They're not. So I think that we need something a little bit more than that.”

Here's a little baseball history for ya.
Babe Ruth was the greatest, most feared and loved athlete of all times, greater then Michael Jordan and Tom Brady combined.
George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr.'s career in Major League Baseball (MLB) spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. Nicknamed "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", he achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. In 1936, Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members.
Before he turned eight, Ruth had already chewed tobacco and drank whiskey for the first time. He was sent to live at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, a Catholic reform school, and listed as incorrigible.
It was while with the Orioles, a veteran team populated by numerous former major leaguers, that Ruth was given his famous nickname. No one knows who first called him Babe.
On July 5, 1924, Ruth knocked himself unconscious by running head-first into a concrete wall in foul territory at Washington’s Griffith Stadium. He was out for a full five minutes.
Ruth was estranged from his first wife by the time she died in a fire in January 1929 at her new home where she was all but officially living as another man’s wife. Three months later Ruth married Claire Hodgson. Ruth adopted Claire’s daughter Julia, who would throw out the first pitch before the final game at Yankee Stadium in 2008.
Ruth appeared in four feature films as himself or a thinly fictionalized version of himself. The last was The Pride of the Yankees, which was filmed in 1942. Ruth lost 40 pounds to play his only slightly-younger self in the film.
Ruth’s last public appearance came on July 26, 1948, when he attended the premier of The Babe Ruth Story, the film starring Williams Bendix as Ruth. He left before the film was over and returned to the hospital.
Ruth died of throat cancer on Aug. 16, 1948 at the age of 53. His body lied in state at Yankee Stadium for two days.
His achievements for the sports fans:
First batter to hit 50 home runs in a season (54 in 1920).
First batter to hit 60 homers in a season (60 in 1927).
First batter to hit 500 homers in a career (August 11, 1929).
2× All-Star (1933, 1934)
7× World Series champion (1915, 1916, 1918, 1923, 1927, 1928, 1932)
1923 AL MVP
12× AL home run champion (1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931)
6× AL RBI champion (1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1926, 1928)

Civil War buffs: Florida’s biggest battle, the battle at Olustee, will be re-enacted Feb. 14-16
The battle is expected to attract as many as 2,000 re-enactors from around the country.
Olustee isn’t a particularly famous battle; only Civil War buffs probably have heard of it.
But in addition to being the largest Civil War battle in Florida, Olustee has another interesting distinction: three U.S. Colored Regiments (as they were then called) took part in the battle, including the now famous all-black volunteer unit, the 54th Massachusetts, the regiment immortalized in the 1989 movie, Glory. In fact, some of the movie scenes were filmed at the Olustee re-enactment.
