I don't think Bloomberg ever wanted to get the Dem nomination. He just wants to beat Trump and calling himself a candidate allows him to ignore all of the campaign contribution limits and spend unlimited amounts of his billions running nationwide anti-Trump ads. As long as no one else locks in the nomination, he can keep "running" and saturating the air with anti-Trump ads all the way until the convention.
Controlling who does get the Dem nomination in a brokered convention would just be an added perk.
Klobernob will be “Amy who?” in about two months.
little mike and BIG MIKE.
Nope...Duane “The Rock” Johnson.
Big Mike oobomma grudgingly accepts a “come together” unity nomination at a brokered convention in Milwaukee.
What existing candidate or Dim office-holder would dare challenge that in public?
Media would go into continuous orgasm for ~5 months until election day. Magazine covers, fawning interviews, etc. will bombard us all.
I know he/she is lazy and doesn’t want to be bothered with governing, and doesn’t give a rip about the country... That’s not really far from Borrockus style of governing, and Moosh won’t have to do much to govern, ValJar and her staff and handlers will cover that. Moosh will vacation as often as the Kenyan played golf.
He/she is not being bothered campaigning now, and its working just fine.
As soon as Mooch is nominated, any questions about Burrrock’s involvement in the coup will become off limits, just like the media claimed re: Biden and his useless corrupt offspring. THAT in itself is enough to put her on the nomination podium from the Dim swamp-dwellers.
And finally, momma Robinson is jones-ing for a repeat of that free luxury lodging, AF1, and those servants provided by the taxpayers.
And not a Bllomberg-Klobuchar ticket??
It’ll be both Sanders and Bloomberg — on separate tickets.
Whichever one wins the nomination, the other will bolt and run as an independent.
Sorry but no, the nominee is going to be Hillary again and anyone paying attention knew that the moment she showed up to a press conference in purple and black.
I believe that it probably has, and that we won’t see it until election day.
Nonsense. It will be Bernie or Hillary.
The socialists are not boycotting this election.
They have been saying that they will run their own ticket if Bernie gets cheated again since just after the Democrat Convention in 2016.
In theis case, I am pretty sure that they will do what they have been saying they will do as a steady drumbeat for the last three years.
Bloomberg is prepared to buy votes if necessary.
“The Democratic nominee is gonna be Klobuchar or Bloomberg”
yep, and most likely of the two is bloomberg ... bernie will arrive at the convention with the most committed delegates but not an outright majority, so the 850 super delegates will kick in on the 2nd and subsequent ballots and most likely they’ll go for bloomberg because of the billions he’ll spiff their Congressional PACs with ...
Bloomberg is like John Kerry without the charisma
Bloomberg himself is a Socialist, listen to him and his big government solutions. And yes he does have to poll well enough to get some delegates.
If he goes through Super Tuesday and gets next to nothing in delegates it’s over for him. Then the only hope is a brokered/open convention and that has not happened since 1924.
Both of them do have German names.
Neither is very strong but Amy will be a handful. Bootygeek is a game show host
“Bloomberg is like John Kerry without the charisma”
That was harsh
Not sure who you re implying by “They”, but no not everyone though no one could beat Hillary.
The lock step echo chamber punditry pushed that narative, but it was never true.
History was on the non incumbents party’s side in 2016, just like it always is after 2 terms of a party in power.
Just like history is on the incumbents side overwhelmingly for a second term.
