“A few years ago there was a revolution against the intelligentsia,” Bloomberg told CBS’ Scott Pelley. “People said, ‘you know, those people, particularly on the coasts, are trying to tell us what to do.’ They wanted a change. That explains Donald Trump. Now, people seem to have changed. This cycle, people want stability.”

Well, there are a fair number of intellectual snobs in the Super Tuesday states with whom Bloomberg's comments might resonate.

My vote for Bernie is really a vote against Bloomberg..../s

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup,we remember Mayor Doomberg. We remember the Election Night coverage where the chant of basically every English language network (including the BBC and the CBC) was “uneducated white males” once these networks realized that Trump just might win it.

To authoritarians like Bloomberg stability for the masses means that we give up our liberties and let them tell us how to live. Anyone who who accepts that is a worthless moron. And a pathetic human being.

Mr Bloomberg, could you please stop spending all your money on the campaign, that’s our college loan payoffs you’re blowing there - /s/ Bernie Bros

So, Mini Mike thinks that we peones out here in flyover country now want a New Yorker telling us what to do?

[100American]

Yup, a pompous ass who thinks that Liberals are just so much smarter than all the rest of us and we were stupid not to vote for Shillary.

Is that the Anti (Seed Stealing) Crow modification?

[Retvet]

The Bloom’n idiot says he’ll do everything President Trump is doing. But President Trump is bad for doing it.

[LeoWindhorse]

F the ‘intelligencia’ and F Bloomberg . They had better stop pushing us or they will find out what push-back looks like . And feels like. Back off douchebags

[rfp1234]

What’s next, will he praise the U.S. Nomenklatura?

[rrrod]

CHINESE MIKE!

[DoughtyOne]

Is this guy serious, considering what we know now?

He’s out of touch with reality.

[bert]

He is correct. the great mass of democrats range from poorly educated to uneducated and rank far below average intelligence

[JimRed]

Intelligentsia = Intellectuals

INTELLECTUAL (in-tel-LEK-shu-al) : An individual educated beyond his intelligence who is incapable of creating or providing any goods or services of value to others, who pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.

The dog would say: "Some Crows just need killin'."

[moovova]

If they’re so smart, why do they have to keep lying to us?

“A few years ago there was a revolution against the intelligentsia,” Bloomberg told CBS’ Scott Pelley.

I have never heard a more tone-deaf politician.

Trump was a smart rich guy from NYC who went to Wharton.
Maybe the voters were rebelling against socialism/fascism.
