The more Mike Bloomberg talks, the less the public like him
American Thinker ^ | Monica Showalter

Late-entrant Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg, billionaire and former mayor of New York City, isn't exactly a popular guy.

To us, we remember him well enough — the guy who was so busy stealing salt shakers off New York diners' tables and telling them how much Big Gulps were good for them that he forgot to prepare the huge metropolis for Hurricane Sandy.

These days, he's talking about packing the Supreme Court with anti-gun activists, a real political winner if there ever was one, given the repeated failure of such measures across the country. Gun control is always a loser. And voters know what rigging is, and packing the Court is rigging.

So it's no surprise he's seeing numbers like these following his multi-million-dollar shell-out for campaign ads, something the other candidates (not that they deserve any sympathy) can't afford:

A newly-released poll shows billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is deeply unpopular with registered voters after jumping into the crowded 2020 Democrat primary field.

A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday found voters react to Bloomberg twice as negatively than they do positively — 54 percent unfavorable and 26 percent favorable — signaling that it will take more than multi-million-dollar ad buys to win over the electorate.

Money can’t buy him the Democrat nomination. When even Democrats can’t stand him, it says a lot about Bloomberg and his message.

And Democrats say Trump is the Bent One. Yeah, sure.

Still wondering if MiniMike is there just to drive certain candidates out of the race...

How is this little insignificant man any different than soros. Pouring millions now into rat races around the country who are up against republicans. Steering the house vote with money

People hate guys who think they can buy public office by throwing money at it.

That’s why Steyer and Bloomberg remain mired at the bottom of the polls.

Trump is a billionaire but he has ideas and he talks to people instead of at them.

He thinks fellow billionaire Donald Trump bought our votes.

As a reminder, Bloomberg has something like 6 private planes, 42 vehicles and at least 11 residences but he wants to tax us ignorant, worthless folk so we can’t afford to purchase little luxuries we work so hard for so we can live longer. He knows what is better for us than we do, dontcha know, and by God, he will make sure we know it.

He’s a pompous, arrogant asshole and I resent his commercials flooding the airwaves and having to constantly change the channel so I don’t see his ugly mug.

Good thinking, goldstate. What you mention is probably not a conscious feeling of people, but it’s definately there.

Kind of shows what stuff Bloomberg is made of. He’s not a leader, but gets the job done by throwing money around at Bloomberg news.

You have to pay people well who work for you, but there are other goals people work for, tool. Free citizens have honor, dignity, and principles that no cash can buy.

Even the Rats feel this way. I scan Democratic Underground sometimes, and Bloomy is getting zero traction there where Warren and Biden lead their internal poll.

We’re seeing TV ads with Bloomberg claiming he will “fix” the economy.

I can’t figure out why he’d do that, unless he thinks the economy is going in the tank before the election.

Maybe he’s trying to appeal to voters who aren’t working.

Not a good campaign message, IMHO.

“...As a reminder, Bloomberg has something like ...”

And a small private army of armed bodyguards; yet he wants YOU and me disarmed, defenseless, and helpless.

He’s the very definition of POS.

The dude seriously has some screws loose.

I personally believe that he lies awake in bed all night thinking up new and more creative ways to micromanage the lives of all 330 million of us.

Mentally unstable people with huge gobs of money present an existential threat to this country.

Has Devin Patrick become Mr. Invisible again? Mike Bloomberg has fully grab the spotlight for late entrants. Nobody’s thinking about Patrick, close friend of Obama.

Tom Steyer’s idiotic ads also claim he’s going to fix the economy! These guys are mired in the past, lol.

Maybe he means "neutered." I had my cat fixed last year.
