Bloomberg referred to trans-women as ‘it’ and ‘some guy in a dress’ (billionaire nerd strikes again)

All these reports about Bloomberg speaking the truth are helping him, not hurting him. Exactly, he knows he needs Centrists voters, and he's in a position to get a lot more of those votes than any other Rat candidate. That's why I see him as the biggest threat. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeb and Kasich support him if he's the nominee.

The sad part is that he was right about this, but it will NOT go over well with Democrats.

As I posted on another thread:
Bloomberg's obvious Achilles heal is that he is a real life "Mary Poppins" without the ability to levitate via an umbrella. What distinguishes him from other totalitarians is the obsession with imposing "Nanny State" behavioral values on the rest of us. We should focus on his lack of proportional judgment by referring to him as a "Mary Poppins" without the "teaspoon of sugar."
Try it.

All these reports about Bloomberg speaking the truth are helping him, not hurting him.Maybe in the general election, but...
Despite the flippant language, his spokesperson said the candidate stands behind transgender rights and understands the transgender community has been under attack for decades and the advance of rights has not been equal."
...he has to win the Woke Brigade right now. These remarks are not contemporary to his presidential candidacy, so he'll just be seen as speaking out of both sides of his mouth. In fact, I bet he'll overcorrect to the hard left and fully embrace trannies in the near-future just to shore up the crazies on the left.
People like Bloomberg care about power over others' lives, not about "speaking truth."

You are correct. The way to get him to blow up in a press conference is what I have suggested on other threads:

A male with masculinity removed doesn’t become a woman - even if he adds cartoon versions of female or feminine traits.

There are a few that are just shock-value quotes, but there are a lot of interesting ones too.

I hesitate to post such a crude comment, but it fits the conversation:

The best way I’ve ever heard it said is, you can’t be a woman without being a little girl first.

Bloomberg’s real chance is at a brokered convention and there he could literally buy the nomination. Guess we will see.

He’s not a centrist, he’s a Socialist.

Hes not a centrist, hes a Socialist. You and I know that. But he's going to remind people that he was once a "Republican". Then again, so was John Lindsey.

I agree, there is a factor of fresh air about what Bloomberg stated, it's the "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize" (Voltaire has no attributed sources on this, btw)/ common sense factor. Trump probably wouldn't have said that in public since he is a populists.
The bad result from this will be some sort of apology, thus empowering the perverted hegemony that will have more ammunition to punish those who promote common sense.
We need people with enough F* U* money to push back against the perverted menace. Unfortunately, Pastors/Bishops are weak (Have enough resources) do to their own internal perversions plus Church attendance is way down from historical numbers per capita.
