This is the Democrats’ great new hope? Trump’s a shoe-in. – In the grand tradition of awful presidential campaign announcement videos – like the one of Fauxcahontas pretending to cook up some American Indian food in her kitchen while slugging down a beer – former Democrat Mayor Michael Bloomberg formally announced his entry into the race over the weekend with this wretched posting on Instagram:

Embedded video 140 9:48 PM - Nov 24, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 58 people are talking about this Yeah, that’s really gonna shake up the race, huh? Bloomberg has all the energy of a hibernating bear and the charm of the average New York City street vendor. Check out that posture – what message is this 77 year-old man attempting to communicate to his audience by perching himself pelvis-forward in that tiny chair?
And you have to love the little message box that is superimposed atop his crotch, saying “Send me your questions for #AskMike.” The first question, obviously placed there by an order-obeying staffer, is “What’s your favorite pizza?” Yes, surely, that pressing question is no doubt on the collective hive mind of every potential Democrat voter who has surveyed the existing field of candidates and come away wondering “can these idiots really deliver the grade of pepperoni I truly want? And what about the anchovies and extra cheese?”
Think about that for a second: Remember that these Democrats never do or say anything in public that hasn’t been polled or focus group tested. You’re telling me that Bloomberg paid someone good money to come up with this?
Of course, here’s the dirty little secret in all of this: Bloomberg isn’t in this race to win the Democrat presidential nomination. He’s in this race so he can receive the cheaper political candidates’ rates as he invests a few hundred million dollars in TV and social media ads. Those ads won’t target Quid Pro Joe, Fauxcahontas, The Commie or Preacher Pete, like any serious candidate for the nomination would do. They will target President Donald Trump.
Bloomy isn’t really a candidate for the presidency, he’s part of the resistance. He knows he can’t win this nomination after watching fellow idiot billionaire Tom Steyer drop a hundred mil or so of his own money to finally get to the point where he is polling 1% in the national polls.
But he also knows the Democrat Party is broke, with the GOP out-raising it by a factor of almost 10 to 1. The party’s base is fractured, and its gigantic field of candidates ensures that the money invested by all the pro-Democrat super PACs will remain fractured as well for quite some time to come.
So, Mayor Big Gulp could pour his money into one or more of those Super PACs or into some dark money “issues advocacy” groups, and is very likely already doing that. He could also donate gobs of money to the Democrat National Committee, but that would be controlled by doofuses like DNC Chairman Tom Perez. By pretending to be a candidate himself, Bloomberg gets a lot more bang for the buck. More importantly, he is able to fully control the message.
But if his first video offering is any indication of his messaging prowess, he is, like Steyer, most likely going to be wasting his money.
Somewhere, President Trump is laughing. It’s hard to blame him.
That is all.
I get the feeling that he might make it somewhere.

...
I wondered why, and that seems to be a reasonable explanation.
True assumption, but I doubt if Trump will spend a dime on Bloomberg.
Adding to this...Bloomberg in the south is a virtual unknown. Have you ever seen this guy deliver a speech? Total wooden form, no animation....can’t ever stand in the shadow of Bill Clinton or Al Gore.
I will love watching the liberals and proggies heads all explode when the dem nominee is a rich old white guy, running against another rich old white guy. Priceless...
So old, white, rich people are bad, except when they’re running for President as a Democrat...
+.
Fifteen seconds of that whining, nasal, lispy voice of his, and most people will change the channel.
Doomturd is never going to be president.
Good luck you little punk.
The phrase is “SHOO-in,” as in shooing some rat out of your kitchen.
A professional writer should know that.
Never really thought of that. Seems reasonable.
In the meantime, let’s see the radical left explain why he gets to keep his billions. He should only be worth a few million since he should have been taxed to death and given most away

Let’s hope Bloomin’ Idiot gets in the race. The are a few not completely insane dems left and he could split the party.
Bring on the chaos.
So he's just another disingenuous phony Democrat.
Beto O’Rourke stands a better chance of getting elected than Bloomberg does. (Yeah, I know. He dropped out of the race.)
He wants to buy his way into the White House.
He does all the attack ads on Trump and the other Clowns save their money ?
