Opinion: The Democratic field needs to whittle away Sanders, Bloomberg and Buttigieg

Watching Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate in Charleston, S.C., was tantamount to undergoing a root canal without anesthesia. That excruciatingly painful experience revealed how inflamed the Democratic field has become.

The bedlam onstage — the hand-flapping, ankle-biting, shouting and cross talk — epitomized the wear and decay of a Democratic National Committee-concocted process that was crowded with ill-suited, out-of-place candidates from its inception. How on earth did New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, long since out of the race, come to see a president when he looked in his mirror? Why is billionaire Tom Steyer still around? What are the chances of former South Bend, Ind.

Just as root canals are necessary to treat and save a natural tooth, Democratic voters, starting with the South Carolina primary and Super Tuesday contests, must perform the necessary procedure of selecting a candidate who can get Democrats back to smiling and chewing with ease — and with enough ballot-box strength to extract President Trump, the truly diseased tooth in America’s body politic, from the White House.

Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, conversely, is in a world unto himself. A gazillionaire and lifelong Democrat who turned Republican in 2001, switched to independent in 2007, only to again register as a Democrat in 2018, Bloomberg has spent millions supporting Democratic congressional candidates, and Republicans, too, including $250,000 for Sen. Lindsey O. Graham in 2014. He seems to think money can buy anything, including the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

'Whittle away Sanders'? Do you read your own news? Our young ppl today are madly in love w/ Communism and Socialism. GEE THANKS Public Schools🖕. There's NO Such thing as a 'socialist democrat.' It's All Communism.

INSANITY. Bernie is the ONLY choice. HE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH A REAL BASE. His far larger base won't vote for neo-lib puppets chosen by super-delegates. If DNC choose anyone else it means they'd rather lose to fascism, Trump & billionaires rather than to a mild democratic socialist

Jeff Bezos - “pick our guy, you peasants. How dare you organize!” Oligarchy BernieOrBust

Well you good luck with Communism because your party standard bearer will be BernieTheRed . If you deny him the nomination, his bernie bros will take their ball and go home come November. Your the party of the white uber rich lording over the supposed class allies. Trump2020

Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. NeverBernie

White liberals and their controlled Media are in panic mode. Initially it was exhilarating to play at revolution with Bernie. They felt great about themselves. Then reality of all being equally poor+low income + govt dependent +controlled under Bernie Communism set in. Bye Bernie

Sanders/Warren will rule America for a good 8 years

Yeah, whittle away the leading candidates. Seems like legit advice 🤦‍♀️ The total absurdity of these pundits claiming Bernie can't win and he's decisive... as he continues to win and have the MOST diverse base of support.

Pete is good as gone. Idk why the frontrunner and the dude spending the most money would just drop out. This is fantasy booking.

Dems need to whittle away Amy, Elizabeth. Let Bernie, Joe, and Pete hammer it out.

Good luck with that

so says the idiots at wapo,,,,,,,,,If only your opinions matter anymore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Root canals will soon be history, the the tooth will be able to grow back strong on it's own with a little help from a sony sonic device.

Yes please

What a dumb headline.

Contested Democratic convention in the cards? Betting market thinks soBernie Sanders has grabbed the early lead in the race to become the Democratic p... There’s no way they’re going to nominate a grouchy old socialist for president Even if another candidate has enough electors Bernie will not give up. He will whip his Bro’s into a frenzy and they won’t back the nominee in the election if it’s not him. He is trump’s greatest asset besides Putin. THEN SANDERS SUPPORTERS SHOULD DO WHAT WILL BE NECESSARY.

‘Too much detail’: South Carolina holds firm for Biden despite rambling, graphic speechesIn a Democratic primary for president, questions about women’s empowerment and reproductive rights are standard fare. Yet when Joe Biden was asked about the issue, his response was anything but typical. And here’s what I don’t understand. Women should ALREADY be aware the Democrats are their best hope for a return to or improvement of current law. So why aren’t they holding Republicans to account?
