‘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:

And with that came a bipartisan farewell to Bloomberg’s campaign:

Decaf coffee is the liquid equivalent of a limp handshake.

Bloomberg’s whole focus seems to be socialism for everyone else now that he got rich through capitalism.

Thanks Sparky take a seat.

Oh, he'll knock 'em dead on the coasts and in the Beltway, but he ain't gonna play in Peoria.

“He will be running negative ads against Trump that will work for all Democrats. Self funded. No limits.”

well, he can run all the ads he wants, but the content needs to be convincing; his first ad includes this about health insurance: “everyone who likes theirs, can keep it”, and this about the economy: “rebuild the country”

hard to believe he spent $31 million on recycling obama’s old lie about health care ....

Proving once again that way too many folks have too much time on their hands and nothing in their heads but tweet about someone’s choice of Coffee.

Only in American.

And his first stop was the heart of the Deep State residential neighborhood.

Curious.

I agree. And he actually believes he can buy the presidency.

I admit I initially thought Trump had no chance. But Trump has personality and charisma and a message that makes sense and appeals to many. They are nothing alike.

Problem IS that even if you like your insurance the payments the government will be giving hospitals and Dr.s for everyone on the government insurance will be SO LOW that the payment from insurance companies will sky rocket driving ALL of our premiums and deductibles UP, UP, UP we all know exactly what will happen we have all been down this road!!! Even IF we LOVE our insurance coverage we won’t love it for long because of government FREEBIES driving OUR costs up!!!

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

I think he is in only to bash Trump and help the Democrats. His previous campaign ads concentrated on the President, not his opponents.

“I am running against Donald Trump because,

wait a minute, sir

SIR I AM SPEAKING TO YOU

you with that large soft drink

THAT IS TOO LARGE FOR ONE PERSON

PUT THAT DOWN

I’m speaking to YOU SIR

now where were we, oh yeah, Trump, he’s wrecking this nation, and

I’m sorry I just can’t seem to let this go

PUT THE SOFT DRINK DOWN AND AWAIT ARREST AND INCARCERATION

Thank goodness I can afford to do this.

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.

It’s the same shit he’s been doing for a decade or more with his destruction of the Bill of Rights campaign.
