'I'm spending all my money to get rid of Trump': Michael Bloomberg
Reuters ^ | 1-11-2020 | Jason Lange

Posted on 01/12/2020 9:03:08 AM PST by tcrlaf

- U.S. presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg told Reuters he is ready to spend much of his vast fortune to oust Republican President Donald Trump from the White House in 2020, rejecting criticism from rivals for the Democratic nomination that the billionaire is trying to buy the U.S. Ranked by Forbes as the eighth-richest American, Bloomberg has flooded U.S. airwaves and social media feeds with messages that he stands the best chance to beat Trump, spending more on campaign ads since he launched his campaign in November than his main Democratic rivals have over the last year.

“Number one priority is to get rid of Donald Trump. I’m spending all my money to get rid of Trump,” Bloomberg told Reuters aboard his campaign bus on Saturday, during a nearly 300-mile (483-km) drive across Texas, one of the 14 states that will vote on Super Tuesday on March 3.

“Do you want me to spend more or less? End of story.

He’s really out to settle a score with the people of a Great Nation of people of normal height or greater.

In 2016, Shrillary spent double what DJT did on the campaign and looked what happened to her.

“Don’t take this lightly folks”

No, but I’m not suspending my common sense either.

If Bloomy had an issue or a message I’d be alarmed.

But his message is: Bigger government, bigger open borders, bigger globalism and gun control, hell, everything control. OH AND TRUMP IS MEAN!!!

That message is competing with Democrats, not Trump. This isn’t Perot who got to the right of GHW Bush. Bloomy isn’t making ONE Trump voter say, “gee, Mike is the answer that Trump isn’t.”

But Bloomy has money!!!

George Soros could buy and sell Bloomy. I am pretty sure that he has spent more on a single campaign than Bloomy could muster in his dreams. Yet, somehow Trump won and thrives.

I am not saying that Trump is inevitable. On the contrary, much work remains.

But Bloomy? Even the Big Gulp survived this guy.

Dammit, how did you find out I was a Communist totalitarian jackass?!? /jk
Actually, I'm a long-running A.I. prototype in beta. Shh! No one is supposed to find out. I've been really clever about it, in fact, this paragraph is actually designed to look like a joke, to help cover my artificial nature. Brilliant, huh?
For the record, I would love to get enough distributed money from Bloomberg to retire right now, and I'm pretty sure I'd meet eligibility.

What a shame. As the owner of scores of billions, he could single-handedly ease the misfortunes of so many.

“One of the reasons I’m reasonably confident I could beat Trump is I would be acceptable to the moderate Republicans you have to have,”

In a theoretical race, this isn't a bad position to take, but it ignores the reality of the 2020 race. President Trump is doing the same thing to the democrats, and in much larger numbers. Collecting the data from his rallies, it is typical that about 20% attending are democrats. He is also getting about 20% of the black vote. This is enough to turn more states red.

From what I’ve seen to date, Bloomberg commercials are a pathetic attempt to paint My Little Pony: The Movie as an episode from the final season of Game of Thrones.

In my opinion, this one video of Bloomberg’s utterly insane statement just hours after armed guards stopped the potential slaughter of dozens of Texas church-goers will guarantee that Michael Bloomberg will NEVER be the President of the Unites States:

As long as Bloomberg fails, this will be fabulous. The problem is that you really can buy a lot for $1B. I hope and pray that Team Trump will spend what it takes at the right time to counteract this threat from pure evil.
