MIKE BLOOMBERG’S FIRM THAT RAN HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS BIDDING TO TAKE OVER JOE BIDEN’S (Hawkfish)
The Inercept ^ | 4/10/20 | Ryan Grim

THE BLOOMBERG-OWNED FIRM Hawkfish, which ran the presidential campaign of Mike Bloomberg, is in serious talks to serve the presidential campaign of Joe Biden, according to sources with knowledge of the ongoing negotiations. Along with Biden’s campaign, the firm is courting a wide swath of other progressive and Democratic organizations, opening up the possibility of Bloomberg gaining significant control over the party’s technology and data infrastructure.

The digital consulting firm has had little political experience outside of the Bloomberg campaign, a trial by fire in which the former New York City mayor burned through nearly $1 billion in less than four months. Hawkfish, which Bloomberg founded in 2019 to be the operational backbone of his campaign, is not yet able to sell its track record or quality of service, since it has no other major clients and few, if any, minor ones.

But instead it comes with other enticements to clients. Democratic operatives who’ve been pitched by Hawkfish say that the firm is able to offer extraordinarily low prices by operating at a loss subsidized by Bloomberg, whose wealth dangles as an added benefit that could come with signing the firm. A Hawkfish insider, who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize employment, confirmed that the company is willing to operate at a loss in order to grab control of the party infrastructure, explaining that the firm hopes to offer a fee that would be small enough to entice the Biden campaign while passing muster with federal regulators.

It worked out swimmingly for Bloomberg.... Let’s hope they can achieve the same results for Joe Who? BTW - That’s my reference for Joe Biden from now on... Joe Who? The man has dropped off the face of the earth, and nobody noticed.

Bloomberg makes a Hillary like control move on the DNC, using the DNC’s link to its elder abuse Geriatric Joe campaign.

Hawkfish: “ We can make a Joe Biden much younger double using plastic surgery, a man who can stand in for the old guy.”

We can save America for the Deep State using Geriatric Joe as the ultimate Deep State Bloomberg puppet.

How does this differ from a bribe?

For some inexplicable reason, I’m imagining Republican campaign ads featuring Biden’s face superimposed over clips of the reanimated corpse of Emperor Palestine from Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

Also, memes of Bloomberg and Pelosi flirting in and out while Creepy Joe mouths his patented incomprehensible campaign word salads.

And the genuinely surprised look on Biden’s face when his POC woman VP choice turns out to be ... Hillary Clinton.

Bloomberg wants some of his money back from his failed campaign?

I wonder how Bernie supporters will react to this thought.They pretty much despised Bloomberg.

You mean the folks who handled Bloomberg’s campaign are going to handle the even less qualified Biden’s?

Actually, using the corpse of “Emperor Palestine” would probably drive Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to the edge, which would be good. Unfortunately, I doubt that most Americans remember who that thug Arafat was.
