Another Clown Joins The Circus

The 2020 presidential election started on the night Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Since that night, Democrats and their allies in the media have been working tirelessly to undermine his agenda and harm his standing with the American people.

The Mueller investigation was a bogus two-year effort to sabotage President Trump and drive him from office. Fortunately, the scheme did not work, and most congressional Democrats realize that impeachment is unlikely and politically unpopular.

With Mueller’s partisan and unfair probe now complete, Democrats are working overtime to harass President Trump through a variety of means such as issuing subpoenas and demanding his tax returns. Despite their best efforts, the president’s approval ratings have been strong, ranging from the mid-40s to the low-50s, in recent weeks. His supporters have remained loyal despite an unprecedented and coordinated assault against him.

Even some Democratic analysts are concerned President Trump will win re-election next year, therefore, the 24 Democratic presidential candidates have decided to relentlessly attack the President at every opportunity. No topic is off limits, including his family.

When not engaged in their favorite activity, bashing Donald Trump, the candidates are offering their positions on the major issues facing the country. Unfortunately, these candidates are only advancing an array of far-left progressive nonsense. There are no moderates in the field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates as they are espousing a socialist agenda that is far more liberal than anything the late U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern ever imagined.

The latest candidate to enter the race, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, fits in perfectly with the progressive wing of Democratic Party. He has enacted policies in his city that liberals hope the next president will champion for the entire country.

The minimum wage in New York is $15 per hour, after four years of steady increases. While the mayor calls this “a decent wage” and a plan that puts “working families first,” it has certainly cost the city thousands of jobs. According to a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4,000 restaurant jobs were lost in the final quarter of last year. Undoubtedly, the increases in labor costs played a contributing factor.

The anti-business climate in New York City was indeed a factor in Amazon deciding not to open a new headquarters in the city. This decision was a major loss for de Blasio, costing 25,000 jobs and $2.7 billion in tax revenue for the city and state. While socialists like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) celebrated the decision, most objective analysts viewed it as a disaster. It was just another indication that policies promoted by left-wing leaders like Mayor de Blasio are very anti-business.

In this announcement video, de Blasio claimed that the “wrong people” have money in this country. He presumably wants to use the force of government to fleece them and redistribute the money toward an array of ineffective and inefficient social programs that he supports.

De Blasio is a major advocate of the Green New Deal, estimated to cost $93 trillion or $600,000 per American household. He loves the plan so much that he is pledging all of New York City government will be reliant on strictly renewable energy within five years. Obviously, the overburdened taxpayers of New York City will pay for this transition.

Another group that will be targeted by the Mayor are the owners of the skyscrapers throughout New York City. De Blasio is committed to enforcing onerous regulations on “classic glass and steel skyscrapers.” The Mayor believes these buildings are “the biggest source of emissions” in New York City. Thus, the owners will be given until 2030 to “clean up your act…retrofit…save energy.” Otherwise, they will face massive fines of $1 million.

With an appetite for higher taxes and burdensome fines, de Blasio is very unpopular among his constituents. Many have noted that he is using a gas guzzling SUV for his 11-mile daily trips to a fitness center. As usual, liberals like de Blasio believe they are exempt from the left-wing proposals they want to foist on their constituents.

When he announced his candidacy onGood Morning America, de Blasio was heckled by New Yorkers outside the studio who yelled “liar.” Polls show an overwhelming majority of New York voters do not want the Mayor to run for President. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted in April showed that less than 20% of New Yorkers wanted the Mayor to run for President, while an astounding amount, almost 80%, did not support his candidacy. Obviously, his constituents don’t like his performance as Mayor and don’t believe he merits a promotion.

Upon the announcement, President Trump mocked de Blasio as “another beauty" and the “worst Mayor in the history of New York City.” At the end of his tweet, the President made a very prophetic statement about de Blasio, “he won’t last long!”

This prediction will undoubtedly come true. In the weeks and months ahead, de Blasio will be joined by many of the lesser-known and weaker Democratic presidential candidates who will be forced to exit the race. While they are good for comic relief, they are not viable presidential candidates.

I really enjoyed the bitch-slapping he got from Eric Trump on Twitter last week.

Maybe Eric oughta run for Mayor next time.

[HighSierra5]

This guy is is a Class 1 commie. Who in the heck told him he has a chance to be President? What a loser. I have a better chance.

[bigbob]

Unfortunately for them he will still be mayor.

A party of unserious ie frivolous ideas is guaranteed to produce a field - however ridiculously large it may become - of unserious ie frivolous candidates.

They’ve thrown so many whole-cloth ideas at us that we may tend to forget how frivolous the ideas are. To wit:
-Man is able to control weather, the earth and even the sun.
-The sun is a big heat lamp bulb that puts out a constant supply of energy
-Male can become female and vice versa
-Declaring something to be a right means everyone must recognize and accede to it
-Declaring something should be ‘affordable’ or ‘free’ means those who manufacture or sell it must do so at a loss indefinitely
-We can tax our way to prosperity
-We can remain a first world nation by importing hordes from the third world
-Slavery and Jim Crow were evil mindsets and institutions because they enforced segregation based on skin tone. Universities, corporations, housing officials and others who enforce segregation (called affirmative action) based on skin tone are wise, fair, compassionate and good.

There are, of course, countless others. But economic issues have always been the foundational blocks of the DNC house despite their mind-numbing, ever-growing list of groups who clap like sea lions when they get a brief mention in speeches (gays, trans, Latinos, etc.)

The postwar boom, even with its recessions, inflations, oil shocks, etc. lasted about 30 years. Huge welfare programs and mindless government spending were masked by the gains in GDP...until the mid 70s when ‘malaise’ was a euphemism for the parasites killing the host. Reagan saw this and reversed it. Cue another ~30 years of growth until government meddling and overspending applied the brakes again. During the most rapid increase in standard of living in history - sustained over decades - the DNC whined about the workin’ man and far too many workin’ men bought it.

Although they do their best to ignore or hide it, the DNC is well aware that the socialism its candidates claim to endorse is responsible for mass murder, (intentional) famine, disease, and gulags. They know that Venezuela is imploding in real time and that Bernie Sanders’ almost mythical ‘Scandinavia’ is heaving under the weight of the retrograde savages they brought in as chattel - living and working in cultural, religious and linguistic ghettoes to prop up future government expenditure.

And so, when your economic model is demonstrably a disaster, you talk about other things, especially when the antithesis of your economic model (ie Trump policy) is producing incredible gains and, at last, a proper recovery from the Bush/Obama era. You talk about trifles, you praise yourself and hope the media can push the bells-and-whistles buttons long and loud enough to get past Election Day.

He was probably shocked he got the mayorship did it again and this gave him the illusion he is great. He is a douchebag con artist with an thug wife who steals tax payer money for him

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Why is every “New Deal” always from the bottom of the deck?

[Hang'emAll]

thug wife who steals tax payer money for him....

Money is what it is about for all the Dems.

Run, Collect Money Nationally, Lose,
Use money and recognition back home to win local seats.

[SMGFan]

does 24 include Ben Gleib or Ami Horowitz?

They each need donations from at $1 from 65,000 donors to get in the debate.

[gibsonguy]

I note that Biden is benefiting a lot by drifting away from the “just hate Trump” tactic. If all the crazies, which is most of the Rat base, is split among 4 or 5 candidates Biden wins the nomination. The Rats who can manage to think strategically will all go to Biden who seems to have the best shot in the general. At least that what DNC and MSM thinks. As consequence the MSM is already pulling out all the stops to help groping Joe.

[null and void]

$15 per hour.

That’s $31K a year.

More than a typical social security recipient receives after a lifetime’s work.

[POWG]

The Democrats are going to need a bigger clown car.

[Kaslin]

They definitely need a train

[Vinnie]

I think most of these candidates are using their presidential announcements as a money raiser.
They can count on at least some financial support.

Get those new SUVs, new office, staff, wardrobe and charge it to the ‘campaign’.
A racket.

DeBlobbio seems to have no idea that he doesn't impress anybody.

Tucker Carlson: "The only one who doesn’t know he’s a dope is bill deblasio. He's comically incompetent."

......in his addled Commie mind, it makes sense for de Blasio run, because he is so hated, and screwed up so badly,
he has zilch political prospects back in NY. He can raise (and pocket) oodles of money from know-nothing rubes,
get on a bunch of TV shows, and his lesbian wife gets to wear more fashion-flop outfits and meet new girlfriends....

He won the mayor’s seat with 72% of the vote....after he had the number tattooed on his wife’s a**
to double the thrill, DiBlobbio began making plans for the presidency.

But, Pray Tell, Where Does De Blasio Get The Money For His Eternal Presidential Campaign Trips?

NEWS CLIP BY Marcia Kramer, CBS News, April 5, 2019 / FR Posted by EinNYC
.....ethical questions are being raised about where he’s getting all the money to fund his cross-country presidential campaign trips.“On The Road Bill,” the mail-it-in mayor of New York City has been galloping all over the country to test the presidential waters with a suspicious campaign cash box that’s raising lots of eyebrows. “To me, that’s a real no-no,” Betsy Gotbaum of the Citizens Union said. Gotbaum is questioning how de Blasio is raising money for his “Fairness PAC” – the political action committee that is allowing the mayor to dream about running the country.“Is it the appearance of something wrong?” CBS2’s Marcia Kramer asked .......

REALITY CHECK—De Blobbio gave his wife $850 million tax dollars for (cough) mental health projects. But the imbecile can’t account for the 41 programs (money laundries) supposedly spending staggering amounts of tax dollars......

Blobbo and his fashion-flop wife enter GMA studios.

This is who greeted them

Bill Clinton officiates at oath-taking as Blobbo's family looks on.
