‘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:

Then Bloomberg arrived, and it came time to order:

Decaf coffee is the liquid equivalent of a limp handshake.

And just to make sure I’ve got it straight. A Jewish, New York billionaire, who passionately hates guns and large sodas... has decided to kick off his campaign...in the south?

Or like Gillibrand eating fried chicken with utensils. And asking a black woman beside her if it’s ok to pick it up with your fingers.

Reminds me of John Kerry at Geno’s Cheese Steaks ordering his with Swiss cheese.

Nothing says "mindless" like caring about Michael Bloomberg's restaurant order. It's no different than liberals talking about Mike Pence eating at Chili's. If you genuinely care about this, you shouldn't be a voter.

He is now, and has always been, a prissy little man with a huge control urge and an intense sense of order. Overall,these made him an acceptable mayor of NYC, where those traits were mostly necessary to keep the city and its mass transit clean and running and to keep the really destructive crazies and criminals under control. On the broader scale of the US they can only be destructive.

This is akin to John Kerry, who went to Vietnam, ordering a Philly Cheese steak with Swiss

I doubt America wants a President on decaf!

President Trump may not drink coffee.

I am sure he does not drink decaf!

I can't see Bloomberg winning the Dem0cratuc primaries. He is an old, somewhat feeble, nerdy white male. He is a billionaire who lacks charm, charisma, and a sense of humor. Would Dems trust a man who was a Republican (but since he didn't have a chance to run as a Republican jumped to the Democratic Party)? And he is Jewish while most Dems cater to the Muslim element.

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

...and he can spend it all attacking Trump. But will anyone notice, considering that the media is doing the same 24/7? Now if he were attacking Obama or Nancy, or any of the Democrats running with that kind of money, people would sure notice - since it would be the first time that has happened in recent generations.

I suspect he would be willing to offer up Israel as a sacrifice.

"Was it in a Big Gulp cup?"


No.

In a nod to the environmental enforcement squad, he used this reusable coffee mug, to underscore his commitment to the proper approach to environmental stewardship, as the self-described "Biosphere Billionaire".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heard a lot of people say the same about Donald Trump.
Donald Trump ran as a non-politician outsider.

Bloomberg has a bad record as nanny-stater. Do you really think he can escape that losing image?
