With Bloomberg pulling out and Warren sure to follow it looks like a two-horse race already for the Democratic nomination.

Keir or Rebecca?

[ToraToraTora]

doesn't matter, whoever it is will get Trumped!

[ichkeria]

The amount of money wasted by Bloomberg on his bizarre campaign must surely rank as some sort of record

[drmorgans]

$500 million only to fall at the first proper hurdle. Yet the news channels, BBC in particular, can't seem to get enough of this process to find out who will lose to the Donald. I wish they would show as much interest in Labour's leadership campaign - very low-key.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I wondered if Bernie could have spent half a billion more wisely

[CrapAtCryptics]

neither, both to old.

[ichkeria]

Trump, Biden, Sanders, Bloomberg - all well into their 70s

[emmie]

i think that Trump will win against Joe Biden

[The Builder]

I expect Bloomberg could always use a good loss to offset against tax.
It'll keep his accountants happy ;o)

I shall be sorry to see Elizabeth Warren go though.

Incumbents are always difficult to shift, and I doubt that Joe Biden can do it.

Biden was always going to get the "official" backing of the Democraps. Sanders is too far left even for the luvvies and lefties over there. Some of his utterings are borderline marxism or borderline psychotic. Plus Trump mischievously endorsed Bernie, and Obamalama endorsed good old Joe. Haha all it needs now is Hillary to announce that she wants to be Joe's running mate and possible vice president and there will be a tidal wave of life insurance policies taken out on Joe and he will be scared witless.

America is beyond help. The Democrats could choose Jesus Christ to run and Trump will get in.

Well, Labour need a leader.

[ichkeria]

Joe Biden is the most likely to shift Trump, and Trump knows it.
It wouldn’t take a lot, incumbent or not

this cartoon appeared in yesterday's standard, and pretty much says it all.

[ichkeria]

Every Rep or Dem campaign against a sitting president can be summed up in more or less the same way.
As for the Zimmer frames, or whatever they are, septuagenarian Trump doesn’t need to poke his at his rival for the GOP nomination

[jourdain2]

I remember when the press began to cover the US election process and I asked 'why?'. We can't influence it. I am even more puzzled now that it seems to have been built into a big news event. Yes, a bit of background, a couple of informational programmes, but that's about it as far as I am concerned. Let us know who won and his/her ideas and policies and that will do fine. Otherwise, not interested.

[Cloverjo]

Imagine if we had all this faff every time we needed a new leader or PM in the UK.

[ichkeria]

“We can’t influence it”

I don’t think we’re supposed to.
Leave that to Putin :-)

[Spicerack]

Waldorf or Statler.
I like US politics, especially at the moment.

//Waldorf or Statler//

For the honour of losing to Animal.
