Drudge Report: Bloomberg considering Hillary Clinton for running mate
Washington Examiner ^ | 02-15-20 | Zachary Halaschak

Posted on 02/15/2020 9:28:09 AM PST by Steve1999

Michael Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as a running mate, according to the Drudge Report. The top right-leaning news aggregator, citing sources close to the Bloomberg team, reported on Saturday that the former New York mayor is contemplating Clinton as a vice presidential running mate after his campaign's polling found the combination would go over well with voters. Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge said in a rare tweet, which he will likely delete, that the former mayor would go as far as moving his official residence from New York to Colorado or Florida, where he owns homes, so that he and Clinton are not from the same state during the race.

The idea that Hillary would play second fiddle to Bloomberg is about as delusional as the idea that Bloomberg is spending a few billion dollars to make Hillary president. Hillary did not spend decades in politics to become VP.

Bloomberg’s way of getting out of New York to avoid taxes.

Hey your election bid is burned to the ground, anyway. Might as well make it radioactive while you are at it.

If he got the primary nomination he’d probably kill himself in this case after Hillary comes on board.

.. probably. .

This is a trial balloon to generate interest in Bloomberg.

Bloomberg will be the professional political consultant class candidate and his VP selection will be made by pros who will never consider HRC because of her negatives (and age). The selection will be made solely on polling.

Mark my words - the Bloomberg machine is going to do and float all kinds of stuff to generate interest in his candidacy for the next few months. Watch the coming shift in the media punditry class in the next month towards him - it is already starting.

Well that settles it, if Mike is stupid enough to put his life in danger with that choice then he is unfit for the office. Insuring Arkancide is in your future is no way to survive, mini-Mike.

My sources within the Clinton camp tell me that Hillary has been watching old episodes of “Murder She Wrote” and “Columbo”. She’s looking for new ways to - shall we say - move Bloomberg aside when the time is right.

I have 2 reactions:
I was opposed to Bush choosing Cheney as they had both adopted Texas. It is not the spirit of the coountry to choose your office first and then game how you are going make the rules meaningless.

There are far more people anti-Hillary than pro-Hillary. Bloomberg is type of person who would manipulate our emotions; suggest Hillary to create stress. Then come up with a better alternative that would gain our support by reducing that stress.

This is common in marketing and politics. Purposely do something to create stress...Or take advantage of a stressful TV program or event and then offer a product to relieve that stress. Most Americans want to relieve stress. Only a few run toward the trouble.

I like the Columbo approach. Have her fire the ceremonial cannon, only this time don’t keep the eyes peeled for illegal beverages. That might be hard for Bloomburg.

I’m sure he’ll want a woman, but he needs someone younger & healthier since he would be 80 after his 1st year as president.
Since he’s Obama 2.0, he might choose Michelle.

[Bloomberg will be the professional political consultant class candidate]


I doubt it. Bloomberg seems like a hands-on guy. If he relied on consultants, he wouldn’t have won NYC once, let alone 3x. Tom Golisano, another NY billionaire, ran for governor 3x and lost. He spent about 1/2 what Bloomberg did in his 3 mayoral runs, but he spent it all on ads. Bloomberg runs his political campaigns the way he does Bloomberg LP - people who don’t perform get the axe. Unlike other moneybags candidates, he

He means H is considering him as a running mate but we get it.

This is the best they can do

It will all surprise us, though why, I do not know.

Anyway it won’t ever be enough to beat Trump. He is not only brilliant with a big beautiful brain God gave him, a graduate of Wharton School of Finance, a successful honest business man, he loves this country and will do anything for us/it. He comes from a good family. The best of us, his grandparents came here, developed a business which she, trumps grandmother, took over when she was widowed then passed it on to her son, Trump’s father.

Trump is no stranger to smart women, super wealthy businessmen, nor unscrupulous people the worst among us

Forget about it.

Bloomberg might be able to afford the security team to survive. Doubtful, though. A suicide or unfortunate accident would seem to be in the offing.
