Ocasio-Cortez suggests a Bloomberg presidency would pave the way for 'a worse Trump'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an interview Tuesday, suggesting that even if the billionaire candidate were to win the presidency in November, he would pave the way for "a worse Trump."

"Obviously, we have to beat Trump, but if we beat Trump and go back to the same policies that we had before, a worse Trump is going to come. A Trump that’s more sophisticated, whose fascism is less obvious, is going to come, and things could get even worse," Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent campaign surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said during a discussion about Bloomberg on "The Breakfast Club" radio show.

Ocasio-Cortez was also critical of Bloomberg's record, "from stop and frisk to the surge in housing costs in New York City to even his own history on redlining to how he talks about transgender people."

It will be Bernie. Doomberg lacks charisma and he’s a control freak to boot.

So is she suggesting that we purchase the stock of helicopter manufacturers in large quantities?

She ain’t stupid on this one. She knows damn well that nominating a Republican oligarch is a ludicrous strategy for the Democratic Party.

Bloomy was NEVER really a GOPer; you're wrong!

He ran under the GOP label ONLY because the number of DEMs running, at that time, in the primary, was a huge number and he knew that he would lose. And to add insult to injury, he was a Masshole carpetbagger, rooted for the hated Boston Red Socks ( against the beloved N.Y. Yankees, even when he was the mayor of NYC! ), and then ran as a De, for his second term and as an Indie, for his ILLEGAL third term run.

I take it as a very hopeful sign that if he gets SCROOOOOD by Bloomberg Bernie is going to run third-party.

What Republican oligarch?
Bloomberg has been a Democrat all his life apart from that brief period when he wanted to be mayor of New York and had little chance of getting the Democratic nomination.

That is high praise coming from a Democrat; She is saying Trump isn’t the worst President imaginable.

IMO, deeply flawed Bloomberg would be a better president than any of the current Demonrats.

Well, she’s always stupid. There’s no cure for that.

The fact that she HAPPENS to be right has nothing to do with reality. She is right for the wrong reasons. She’s right by chance.

But she’s still stupid.

She isn't "right", since Bloomy has NEVER really been a GOPer!
