‘And so it ends’: What Michael Bloomberg ordered at first campaign stop sparks a bipartisan farewell to his presidential hopes

=============================================================

Today is Michael Bloomberg’s first day as a formal candidate for the 2020 Democrat nomination, and he kicked things off with a diner stop in Virginia:

Decaf coffee is the liquid equivalent of a limp handshake.

Rush said the same thing today. Bloomberg has a lot of money. So what? He will never be elected President.

Not one of these Democrap losers will win against Trump. That’s why the Dick State wanted to remove him via impeachment.

There are a lot better reasons to dismiss Bloomberg than on his choice of coffee.

BTW, I’m not a coffee drinker at all. I could care less what he drinks. I worry a lot more about what he stands for.

What’s the big deal? He needs to go to sleep by 7 after the early bird special.

On Twitter: OK Bloomberg is getting in the race to skirt campaign finance laws.
He will be running negative ads against Trump that will work for all Democrats.
Self funded. No limits.

The BloomBorg doesn't know how to tweet, and he has no sense of humor.

I laugh about Trump nearly every day.

I think it’s just that he revealed himself as the old valetudinarian (somebody obsessed with their health) that he is. Even if he didn’t want a regular coffee, he should have ordered it and been sharp enough to understand that the optics on a decaf weren’t good.

Bloomy was an okay mayor in some respects...he let the police continue with stop and frisk, for example, a good thing because these kids are heavily armed - all illegally, of course - are were destroying their own families and neighborhoods. But just this weekend he renounced it all in an interview, and said it was a mistake to allow stop and frisk...

But he’s standing by his ban on Big Gulps!

President Trump is a one of a kind talent.
Bloomies doesn’t have “it”, that’s for sure.

Nothing will ever beat George McGovern going into Katz’s Deli on Houston Street and ordering a koshe dog and a glass of milk.

Just looked at Mikey's Twitter feed.

He wants to be the Scold-In-Chief.
