Now we have Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the 1st Debate with Bloomberg out of the way it is clear that democratic party is feeling the "Bern."  Currently, the running odds are that Bernie has about a 50% chance of winning the Democratic ticket.  I guess I over estimated Mike Bloomberg's attempt to buy the primary.  

Current Odds

Anyone watching the major news networks following the debates could easily read that Sanders was the winner, was gaining momentum and the establishment Democratic leadership ISN'T happy.   Bloomberg did have a small bump, but his momentum is quickly dissolving after his disastrous performance in the debates.  The good news is that 03 March is "Super Tuesday." So, in a week we will start to get a much more comprehensive perception of what will develop.  

Now, what I am looking for, is if Bernie maintains his upward trend.  Or, if Mike Bloomberg's Mega Million lottery size payment will provide him with enough momentum to threaten Bernie's lead.  I still haven't factored out Hillary.  That sociopath, I don't think will ever give up hopes for the power of the Whitehouse.  To be fair, you can say most politicians are sociopaths, even Trump.  But Hillary is my favorite sociopath - damn she is good at it.  I am sure she is watching the primary, waiting, scanning for targets and just savoring the moment she jump into the fray to save her ego - I mean the democratic party.

Bottom line:  03 March till 17 March will provide a much better vision of where the democratic party is going.  So the next couple of weeks I will savor what the Roman's call panem et circenses meaning ‘bread and circuses’.
