Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg’s dramatic and defiant flight to Israel to protest the U.S. ban on flights to Ben Gurion airport got me thinking. Can anyone imagine Hillary Clinton doing anything so daring, so anti-authoritarian, as that? Has she ever done anything truly shocking and trend-setting?
And that brings me to the ideal candidate to take her on from the left: Bloomberg. He has been a Democrat, a Republican and an independent (a man for all voters!). He is pro-choice, pro-gay marriage (much earlier than Clinton was), anti-gun, anti-smoking and anti-trans fat. Although he is a billionaire, he regularly rode the subway to work as mayor and never claimed to be broke. He has been a prominent advocate for immigration reform and for measures against global warming. What’s not to like if you’re a Democrat? Sure, he balanced budgets, but liberals will happily recall that he raised taxes to do so. Sure, he initially supported the Iraq war, but then so did Clinton. And unlike Clinton, he has been a relatively successful executive. And, what’s more, he could self-finance....

Hillary made the daring corkscrew landing in Bosnia way back when. She was dodging sniper fire and mortars. There’s even video on youtube.

The only reason the FAA banned flights into Israel is because our first foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected Islamic agent POTUS wants Israel boycotted for defending themselves against the barbarian heroes of our first foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected Islamic agent POTUS.
You know if she gave a speech where she just said “Let me tell you a lie lie lie and another lie lie lie” it would have the same effect as her saying all those other words and would save her time. Matter of fact she should just say “Everything that comes out of my mouth will be a lie so you might as well leave” and save everybody time.
Bloomberg pays its employees very well. Much more than WaPo. Rubin may be hoping to join the payroll.
You would have plenty of company.
Well, Mayim Balik (the TV actress who played “Blossom” and now on Big Bang Theory) stuck up for Israel too.
And she’s a bit of a nut.
And she’s also got a doctorate in Neuro-something super smart.
Quite frankly I’d rather have her as President than Bloomberg.
At least she’s got a sense of humor!
The demented HYPOCRITE BLOOMBERG sure did, with armed guards!!.
The Same Reasoning, which will induce you to admit all Men, who have no Property, to vote, with those who have, for those Laws, which affect the Person will prove that you ought to admit Women and Children: for generally Speaking, Women and Children, have as good Judgment, and as independent Minds as those Men who are wholly destitute of Property: these last being to all Intents and Purposes as much dependent upon others, who will please to feed, cloath, and employ them, as Women are upon their Husbands, or Children on their Parents.
Depend upon it, sir, it is dangerous to open So fruitfull a Source of Controversy and Altercation, as would be opened by attempting to alter the Qualifications of Voters. There will be no End of it. New Claims will arise. Women will demand a Vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their Rights not enough attended to, and every Man, who has not a Farthing, will demand an equal Voice with any other in all Acts of State. It tends to confound and destroy all Distinctions, and prostrate all Ranks, to one common Level.
