Cross Town Thoughts
So. It’s over. Biden will be the Dem nominee. My advice. Don’t debate. Why? Bernie’s got nothing to lose. He’s done. It won’t end well. No worries about filling arenas, either. Coronavirus excuse. No. Joe won’t have to do much. Which works in his favor.
Focus needs to be on the Vice Presidential pick who will likely take over sooner than later. Kamala? Amy? Stacey? Who works best with Jill?
Be careful what we wish for.
68 degrees & sunny. Happy day to me. Escaping all the cofveve. Sister Deb brought me a beautiful cactus which served as a centerpiece for our Tavern on the Green table. On a perfect Spring-like day.
Daffs are up already in Central Park. 
Coronavirus panic-demic is in full swing on the UWS. People are crazed over a family testing positive with a child in a local school. But. They won’t tell anybody where they live or what school. But. The school has been deep-cleaned. Which means what?
Every new case is announced on every channel. In every county in every State. Nationally. Globally. Italy has shut down. It’s like Art Bell where are you? Oh. And Dr. Husband is attending a funeral in Fort Lee. Where a guy tested positive. YEEEEEEESH.
Well. If I had to have my last birthday supper. At least it was at Gramercy Tavern in my favorite booth with my two favorite men.
Godspeed everyone.
What’s going on with Hillary? Doing Howard Stern & Andy Cohen. So to speak. Hill’s everywhere talking about her new podcast and books. A documentary with Bill. Where he fesses up on the Monica harassment in a humble and sympathetic way for the first time.
Just wondering. Is she perched on her broomstick waiting to swoop in when Joe does his predicted stumble? And her little dog, too.
Be careful what you wish for MSNBC & CNN. Colbert & Seth. You and many others are in danger of losing your shows. Biden is rallying the moderates and has Bloomberg’s digital network now. So he could actually beat Trump. Especially if the economy slumps. Then What?
Ratings will drop like a rock. No Trump derangement jokes. No collusion. No quid pro quos. Schiffty-Schiff will have to retire his impeachment investigations. Orange-man rallies will be gone. No more ranting about Trump-tweets. Gone sweet righteous indignation. Just boring Joe.
Dirty little secret. They’ll find a way to make sure Trump wins again.
Joe Biden sounded like screaming Howard Dean in his overly exuberant speech last night. Google it, kids. He also confused his sister with his wife. If this is the guy to beat Trump. Good luck! Folks.
Other than that Joe surprised with wins in Minnesota thanks to Amy & Massachusetts where the far left split the vote. He swept the South. Where Trump will kill.
Meanwhile. Why is it so difficult to vote in 2020? It’s criminal. Waiting over 3 hours on line in Texas. There is no excuse. We won’t know the California results for at least a week. Ridiculous!!!!
Mini Mike tanked. He will likely leave the stage. Who will get his data machine? Lizzie should pack it in as well. The diverse Dems?
Who will win Super Tuesday? Fourteen-state cache of delegates. Or. As Sleepy Joe likes to call it – Super Thursday. Prediction. Bloomberg gets maybe zero. That’d be a really bad return on investment. Bernie beats Amy & Lizzie in their own states. Joe picks up a bunch. But. Probably won’t remember what they are for. He still thinks he’s running for U.S. Senate. Not a joke. Folks. Give ’em to Barack!
Any which way. One old white guy will run against another in November. If they’re not all in a coronavirus quarantine in the sky.
Biden won big in the South Carolina primary. As media foments coronavirus panic-demic to trash Trump, it is resonating more than Russia or Ukraine-gate. If markets continue to tank and there’s a recession before the election, this could take him down.
It won’t be Joe and his energy & charisma. He looks pretty sleepy on Sunday shows. Hillary-esque. Bernie at least fills arenas. Even if Mayor Mike does well on Super Tuesday, we’re left with all old white guys. SAD.
mAd prediction. Biden-Klobuchar. Yawn.
(Joe-mentum coined during Joe Leiberman presidential campaign)
A gracefully athletic move in ballet. Taking a leap like today. Hard to believe that Sadie Hawkins is relevant in 2020. Men typically still “propose” to women. Only on this leap day can a woman “ask” the man to marry. Equal rights and pay? Not if these traditions stay.
South Carolina primary. Will voters keep Biden in the race or continue the Bernie revolution into Super Tuesday. Bloomberg will be buying ads ’til the end either way. And. For $17m Tony Romo remains at CBS. Yay.
As coronavirus panic-demic dominates the news, it’s a good time to be an agoraphobe.
Even though no one is the Dem nom yet. VEEP predictions abound.
NYPost is floating a story that Andrew Yang is considered by Bloomberg. Cannot understand what that brings to the table. New York business guys. Yang should go for Mike’s old job as Mayor of NYC.
Kamala Harris is the current choice of media speculation to run with Biden. She kinda trashed him in a debate. Plus two Senators. And. California? That’s not a swing state. Lizzie will be lucky to win her own Massachusetts on Super Tuesday. Bernie will likely embarrass her there. Even if she puts a Castro on the ticket.
And Bernie? As he said it won’t be an old white guy. Oh the frenzy if he could pick AOC. But. He can’t. So. We’ll see.
