I hate to say it, but I told you so. This was a no-brainer. Anyone with common sense could see it coming from 1,000 miles away. Mike Bloomberg is the Titanic-Hindenburg-"Poseidon Adventure" of the Democratic Party.
For weeks, I've said Bloomberg is the worst public speaker ever. He's boring, whiny, elitist, arrogant, stuck-up and thoroughly unlikeable. Plus, he's really, really short. But "Mini Mike" beat even my low expectations during the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas.
But give Bloomberg credit. He just set an all-time record. He's the first gambler in history to lose $350 million in one night in Vegas!
My observations after watching every minute of the debate:
I have a new nickname for Bloomberg. I think President Donald Trump will love it. From now on, call him "Nondisclosure Mike." That's the end of Bloomberg.
By the way, that was the worst debate performance ever. Can you imagine? Bloomberg didn't know his presidential rivals would ask about all his former female employees' lawsuits and their nondisclosure agreements? That question never came up in debate preparation?
And no one ever bothered to ensure he had a good response? A guy worth $65 billion didn't know it wouldn't be received well by liberal feminists if he answered that the nondisclosures are for "the women's protection." Really?
Wait; it gets better. Nondisclosure Mike also claimed that none of these women was harassed by him. They were just offended by "a joke." Oh, boy. Clueless Bloomberg doesn't understand that radical feminists think a sexist joke by a wealthy white male should be punishable by death
Well, he does now.
Enough about Bloomberg. I didn't come to bury Bloomberg. He already did that himself. (The lines about Bloomberg just write themselves.)
The other biggest loser of the night was socialism -- not on that debate stage and not among that audience but among the rest of America. Democrats have painted themselves (and isolated themselves) on an island: Communist Island. They look like crazy people. I have the perfect island for them: Cuba. They'll feel right at home.
Then there's the Culinary Union Local 226. It was a big star of "the Night of 1,000 Losers," too. Everyone was focused on union members angry at the thought of losing their hard-fought health care benefits in a "Medicare for All" system. Welcome to my world.
When President Barack Obama wrecked the finances of millions of middle-class Americans and small-business owners, the union couldn't have cared less. When my rates went from $500 per month to $2,000 because of "Obamacare," the union couldn't have cared less. Labor leaders have proven to be the worst greedy, selfish hypocrites of all time.
Oh, and the big winner of the night? That's easy. President Trump.
While money is the milk of American politics, this is another case where it did not make a difference. Nice try though Mike. The media industry made some good money on your efforts.
How many nondisclosure agreements did Obama make people sign in “the most transparent administration ever “?
Good line about Vegas and of course right about the unions.
But Trump can’t be the one to go there again with the Bloomie’s nondisclosures.
Wonder if those that signed NDAs would have to give the money back if they decided to rescind
If the DNC rigs the convention against Bernie the Commie, watch for “Big Mike” to ride in on his/her black broomstick to become the nominee...and help stem the flow of blacks voting for Trump.
DNC = CPUSA
They’re ALL communists.
What happens is an opposition political donor agent approaches the (woman) party and promises to make it worth their while to violate the NDA. Presumably not only pay the NDA amount and taxes on income, but also new money.
This is how they got Trump's affairs exposed. One woman took in around $150K from the National Enquirer, who promised to publish her story, but spiked it. Her NDA required return of that money. For Soros-Clinton etc. money gladly paid.
Money quote, literally.
Jeb Bush spent 100 Million and got zero delegates.
Mini Mike spent 400 million and got zero delegates for his effort.
Not too bright these two slugs are huh?
Bloomberg’s campaign was over as soon as he said “consensual”. He might as well have used the n-word at a NAACP meeting.
Bloomberg wasn’t on the ballot in Iowa, New Hampshire or Nevada so he couldn’t have gotten any delegates.
He IS on the ballot for the rest of the primaries/caucases.
Picking up delegates in the first three caucuses was never part of his plan.
He needlessly hurt himself by participating in the Nevada debate.
Well? Did Mike drop out or not? If he’s still in it it isn’t over. Just like when a hit man slices his target’s jugular and he’s still running around like a flicked chicken, he’s not dead yet. He could write his killer’s name in his own blood, strike back with his dying breath. So, too, Mike’s still in the game until he stops twitching or runs out of money or gives up.
There was the one the informant in Uranium 25 signed, now judicially voided. What’s up with that?
Bloomberg isn’t the first billionaire who is trying to buy the election. I remember the last one who tried it. He made it only to Super Tuesday and then had to drop out as this was as far as it went.
“But Trump can’t be the one to go there again ...”
Very true. In Mike’s and Trump’s defense, in business sometimes one has the potential to be held hostage to certain allegations that to fight and win them is risky and at most would be a pyrrhic victory. So NDAs and settlements are a tool that gets issues out of the way at the least cost - the cost of doing business. Sometimes there is truth behind the allegations, to it is to not only get the issue gone, but to do so without losing one’s reputation.
The average person is conditioned to see any confidential agreement as a way to hide something bad ...because who would agree to pay someone off if they did not do something wrong. That is a difference between a high level executive and the average person ... it is a cost of doing business, even if one is right. Need to move on to more important things to make money. That’s may be one reason average people are average in the money department.
Agreed. Trump nears to steer clear of this. Let the Dems destroy themselves and their chances.
I’m going to use that.
Bloomberg will win his share of delegates on Super Tuesday, and can easily go all the way to the convention.
But:
—Bernie Sanders will always have more overall delegates than Bloomberg does, by a wide margin
—If there is a brokered convention and the superdelegates give Bloomberg the nomination, it will destroy the Democratic Party
That is why I call him Doomberg!
“The average person is conditioned to see any confidential agreement as a way to hide something bad ...because who would agree to pay someone off if they did not do something wrong. That is a difference between a high level executive and the average person ... it is a cost of doing business, even if one is right.”
To me, an NDA alone means nothing, no different than a corporation ‘settling’ a lawsuit because it’s cheaper than fighting it. And then when you add-in a claim against an announced, or potential, political candidate, the probability of cashing-in increases, since the potential damage to the rich guy is far more than having to ‘explain things’ to his wife (whether true or not)...so even less credibility there.
My standard is EVIDENCE - and that would be documented evidence, at the time - such as police reports, recordings/video, hospital reports, etc. What I would immediately dismiss are second-hand accounts from people who say “Well, she told me that Bloomberg snatched her 20 years ago” - I don’t care if there’s 1 account, or 40 accounts - there are some 60 million Leftists in this country, and virtually everyone of them will lie, if there’s something in it for them (money, or the chance to take down Trump or some other ‘mean’ guy, for example). A few years ago, I was one juror away from being questioned on this subject regarding a rape case...and they would have gotten the same answer from me.
A name that he deserves.
