The man who would bibbity-bobbity-boo himself into the presidency

Here are some categories of human beings that allegedly exist in the multi-year augmented media reality that we call the Democratic presidential primary. First, the "candidates." These are people who, for whatever reason, think they deserve to be the commander-in-chief and have decided the best way of obtaining this position is by seeking the nomination of the major political party that does not happen to control the White House at the moment. This involves, among other things, making speeches and holding fundraisers and appearing at various events in a wide number of states. Which brings us to the "voters,"

The striking thing about Bloomturd is his extraordinary contempt for all the voters, Democrats and Republicans, that's shown by his refusal to participate in the DemonShit debates, fundraising, and early primaries. He simply wants to buy the Presidency so he can impose his own version of billionaires' socialism on everybody. He's contemptible.

[Pollster1]

Bloomberg is the classic elitist. He holds normal Americans in contempt and wants to rule our lives for our own good.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Don’t tell judge Judy that she LOVES Bloomberg, which just ASTOUNDS me!!!!

[gathersnomoss]

“Hey, where are you going with that Big Gulp?”

Wake up, you Socialist loving lemmings.

[daler]

So what is his (or any other Democrat candidate’s) argument...”we can do better?”

Really?

As we look at the political landscape, one really has to wonder why anyone would stand in opposition to this president.

His TV commercials make it sound like he is the only politician capable of managing the country. Certainly not Trump.

But after viewing the commercials a dozen times, it seems that it is nothing but focus group pablum.

Even my wife wonders why they chose to go from a bad pic of Trump straight into fear/race mongering about a cute black lady holding a baby, losing all her medical support if Bloomie isn't elected.

Contemptible indeed.

[NobleFree]

I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at the part where Bloomers sits uttering socialist bromides about health care while a room full of "average Americans" nods thoughtfully. It's like a parody of political ads.

[Sans-Culotte]

The striking thing about Bloomturd is his extraordinary contempt for all the voters, Democrats and Republicans,

This is why he is largely absent from his commercials. Unlike fellow billionaire Tom Steyer, Bloomberg does not speak directly into the camera because his misanthrope personality would show.

[McGavin999]

Why not? Slyer, the guy with all the charisma of a pool of vomit, is running in the top 4 in So Carolina

[I want the USA back]

They become “candidates” for name recognition and to rake in the money. Fame and fortune, for standing at a podium and repeating the words that they have memorized.

bloomy thinks he can buy his way into the White House.

[thirst4truth]

Trump is about a foot taller than him and is 50 pounds heavier. Bloomturd is a small man, no one wins the presidency with a height of 5 feet. Yes, we are that shallow.

[nickcarraway]

Then Bloomberg stops and frisks the baby.

[Kickass Conservative]

There is nothing more dangerous than a Rich Socialist, except for the Poor Socialists who Vote for them...

[CharlesWayneCT]

I don’t think Bloomberg wants to be president.

I think he filed so he could use a loophole in the campaign finance laws. By filing, he can spend unlimited amounts of his own money supporting the other candidates by broadcasting his “own” views that support their views, and also directly attacking Donald Trump, since most of the other candidates have limited funds and can’t afford it, and the DNC is broke.

If bloomberg was just a citizen, he could run SOME ads, that were issue-based, but not direct support/opposition for candidates, without running afoul of the strict limitations on the amount of money an individual can spend.

Judge Judy has made other mistakes in her life.

She had a TV case that involved a motorist driving in N Nevada, where “OPEN RANGE” signs abound with the silhouette of a bull indicate that there are free roaming cattle & even wild horses anywhere & everywhere & that THEY have the RIGHT OF WAY.

A city slicker motorist didn’t pay enough attention & he hit a bull & was suing the rancher for NOT keeping his cattle inside fences.

THERE ARE NO FENCES in such territory.

Those ranches were there LONG before the roads.

Judge Judy ruled against the rancher as she clearly didn’t understand the idea of OPEN RANGE. I just wish that he had the foresight to bring the NRS ()Nevada Revised Statutes) paperwork with him to court & proved to Judge Judy that he DID NOT have to put up fences.

I realize that Judge Judy probably has NEVER been in many rural areas -—she has only flown over them.

She also is wrong about Bloomberg, but he will NOT be President. His arrogance is just OOZING out of him in every single ad I have seen.

I wonder how the Dems think people like me accumulated what we have? I have told more than one person that my possessions are NOT the result of a giant Cracker Jack Box prize. I worked hard for every penny to buy every thing I have.
