Bloomberg and his money just took out another one.. Take care Kamala Harris

[Peacetrain]

You are not going far away. You have so much to contribute to who ever takes it in 2020 and you will have other shots at this if you want it.


Think Supreme Court!..

3. Joe Biden campaigned for her.. and though they had a bad moment

in the debates.. I think he hopes for the best for her.. she was a good friend with his son.

22. You can tell Joe is sincere and really cares for and respects Kamala.

2. So Mikey was not going to attack the Dems.

Bullcrap! His namesake TV Station is using the European Bloomberg to do it. Two friggin hours this AM bashing the Dems via his London Bureau.

6. Bullock last night.. I mean the regular person does not have a chance in hell

against all that money

4. What did Bloomberg do?

Did he run ads against her?

21. At least she's not blaming the media or polling in her gracious statement.

'cause that ol' horse got tired out a long, long time ago... despite the petulant and unsupported insistence on its continued beating.

It's tough to avoid hitting straw-men when they're the only target one has.

5. I don't think Bloomberg had much to do with it.

I think the writing was on the wall for her campaign well before he entered. His entry might have been the final nail, but she has been lagging in the polls for a few months now and couldn't seem to get any momentum.

11. Agree,here campaign

operation would work here in the West. On a National level,she needed someone other than her Hubby and Sister running the show.

She is the Real Deal.

[Sherman A1]

17. Agreed

Bloomy may have pushed it over the tipping point, but my understanding is that the campaign was unraveling internally.

7. This has nothing to do with Bloomberg. NT

14. Difficult for me to parse the sentence structure of that post.

It simply has nothing to do with Bloomberg.

Take a look at the graph at this link.

8. what you do not know about funding a campaign .. I could fill an ocean liner with..(for all who say.

that Bloomberg and and his money had nothing to do with Harris dropping at this time"

[brooklynite]

18. November 4: "Michael Bloomberg announces Presidential Campaign"

November 1: "Kamala Harris closes campaign offices and fires staff in New Hampshire".

She's been on the rocks for months.

[Peacetrain]

20. I am not disagreeing with that.. she has been bleeding money for a long time

But she could have kept going.. but if you are in Iowa right now, and you could see the flood , I mean absolute flood of political commercials that we are enduring here, you would understand how dispiriting it is for people who are having to fight for the bucks..especially when the bull run in and buy up everything..and someone who does not even have to take time to raise money.. God.. its gets to be too much

19. Her campaign was in trouble well before he entered the race.

She hasn't polled in double digits in any poll since August and has been steadily trending downward since the first debate.

If she or others want to believe or insist that Bloomberg is the reason she's dropping out, that's her/their prerogative. It may certainly be a factor, but there's clearly more to it than that, and she had been unable to acquire any momentum well before he entered.

It's an incredibly difficult and personal decision, and it's difficult to look at the situation rationally at that moment.

13. Yep. A Bloomberg hit job

[patricia92243]

15. I have looked and looked and can't find anything current about Bloomberg/Harris.

[brooklynite]

16. I think she managed this on her own...
