The inevitable cratering of Joe Biden’s campaign, accelerated by the impeachment fiasco orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi and the inexorable rise of Bernie Sanders, has caused the Ruling Class to turn their lonely eyes to a hoped-for savior, Michael Bloomberg. But along with Bloomberg comes his de facto business partner and long-time close ally: China, a nation determined to destabilize American security, prosperity and freedom while growing more tyrannical and secretive internally and more dangerous than ever externally as it faces a potential economic and societal cataclysm.
In a September 2019 interview with PBS’s Firing Line Bloomberg said: “The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public.” Further, “Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.”
Bloomberg failed to mention that in 2013 Bloomberg News was caught in a scandal when it killed news stories revealing corruption related to Xi Jinping’s family members, prompting various reporters and editors to resign. It turned out that Bloomberg News leadership told the editors that stories about the families of politburo members were off limits.
When challenged by host Margaret Hoover of PBS on whether he really believes Xi is “responsive” to the democratic will of the people, Bloomberg doubled down. “The Chinese Communist Party looks at Russia and they look for where the Communist Party is and they don’t find it anymore.

The real Manchurian Candidate.
Did Bloomberg actually think his past statements and actions would somehow not become widely known? No amount of money will be able to overcome the truth about is past.
Yep.. With billions to spend.
I still don’t think he would beat Trump because i don’t think bernie and warren supporters would show up at the polls in big numbers.
He’s going to try and get the Trump voting dems back.
Anything is possible but I don’t see why they would want to switch
We know where much of Bloomy’s wealth came from. Just standing by for the details to come out.
Bloomberg was a longtime Democrat who switched sides in 2001 to run for mayor of New York City as a Republican.
He subsequently changed his party affiliation to ‘Independent’.
Bloomberg’s switching sides and party disloyalty must warm the hearts of his oligarchiphile supporters who believe anything used in the attainment of power is justified.
Trump will NAIL Bloomberg with China, HANG China right around his neck!! Bernie Bots WILL NEVER jump on the Bloomberg train they HATE billionaires MORE than they HATE Trump they HATE Trump because he is a billionaire!!! Dems lose 1/3 of their base when Bloomberg is the nominee!!!
Xi is so paranoid of any dissent, he’s placing 88 year old men under house arrest for expressing an opinion.
