Opinion: Could the Democratic race come down to Bernie Sanders vs. ... Mike Bloomberg? (via latimesopinion)
Political polls are notoriously unreliable, but I’m going to point to the results of two new ones anyway that show a collision ahead between two polarizing candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Conventional wisdom holds that Sanders remains an unlikely nominee and that Bloomberg remains a far longer long-shot. And horse-race punditry is every bit as valuable as what you pay for it. But there are trends at work here worth pondering., Sanders is leading in the two states that vote first — Iowa and New Hampshire — while Biden is leading in two of the next states to vote — South Carolina and Nevada.
I know, progressives argue that the country needs more than just a return to normalcy after Trump. Its problems need a far stronger tonic, which in their prescription includes such things as providing government health insurance with no premiums or copays, taxing wealth, forgiving student-loan debt and defanging Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
