Why Bloomberg is the Greatest Threat to Trump’s Re-election

Michael Bloomberg has plenty of reasons to hide his true intentions and plans.

They are opaque by design for many reasons, one of which is that it gives him multiple options, depending on how things play out.

Is Bloomberg, the possible Presidential candidate, the reason he is “the greatest threat to Trump’s re-election?”

Uh, no.

Is Bloomberg’s money “the greatest threat to Trump’s re-election?”

Again, no.

The greatest threat to Trump’s re-election is Bloomberg’s data project, or as I call it, Bloomberg’s big data machine.

Why is it big? According to media reports, he has spent untold tens of millions of dollars and about a year building it.

Here’s another reason it’s big: when asked which data the Bloomberg big data machine would use, the team building it said very simply: “all the data.” All the data they can vacuum up or buy.

Then he tested his big data machine several weeks ago in the off-year elections.

His team publicly said they tested it state-wide in Virginia. He used his Everytown group (and likely others) to identify new voters, persuade new voters and turn out the vote of friendly new voters. And this November, Virginia set a new record for turnout in an off-year election. The result was a Blue Wave within the borders of Virginia. The Dems crushed the ball.

My guess is Bloomberg also tested the big data machine Pennsylvania too. All the indications are there that Bloomberg did: there was a Blue Wave confined to the borders of Pennsylvania too and Republican ramparts they’ve held since the civil war fell by margins that indicate the success of the Bloomberg big data machine in turning out new voters.

Bloomberg is not a billionaire like Tom Steyer, Howard Schultz or George Soros who deploy money in politics and policy...

The biggest advantage we have with democrats is that they're incompetent.

Yes, they have horrible ideas that could wreck the country BUT they don't know how to implement them without becoming totalitarians.

The problem with Bloomberg is he just might be smart enough to make these horrible insane ideas a reality. Turn our country into a hellhole.

Yep, Bloomie could destroy us ... Like a kid too stupid to see the consequences of his actions, but smart enough to build an atomic bomb...

Heh... slight quibble follows...

Yes, they have totalitarian ideas that could wreck the country AND they don't care how what they implement as long as they create totalitarianism.
