Michael Bloomberg Discovers America is Bigger Than New York
frontpagemag.com ^ | 1/15/2020 | Daniel Greenfield

The billionaire’s boondoggle campaign goes everywhere and nowhere.

It’s Wednesday and Michael Bloomberg is on a farm in Minnesota. Nobody, including him, knows why.

Minnesota in the winter is a long way from Bloomberg’s Bermuda estate where he spent much of his time as mayor of New York City, and, if he were to win in 2020, would spend his presidential term. While fighting a war on coal, the billionaire environmentalist crusader liked to jet over on Fridays to his waterfront estate in Bermuda to escape the New York City winters and then jet back again on Sundays.

“We should understand how big America is,” Michael Bloomberg told a reporter. "I’m here to learn about another part of the country.”

Any part of the country that isn't New York City is a whole other world to the big city titan. That might be why he stumbled into Martin County which Trump had won by 67.5%. Even by primary standards, there aren’t many Democrats here. Hillary only got 2,733 votes. Campaigning for Somali votes in Hennepin County would have made more sense. But as far as Bloomberg is concerned, any place outside Manhattan is farm country. And that goes double for Minnesota. So here he was riding a tractor on a farm in the greatest presidential campaign vehicular moment since a tank ended the Dukakis dream.

“I wish he *were* in Minnesota the last couple of days. First 3”-5” of snow, then temps dropping to below zero overnight.”

I remember giving a ride to someone who was flying into Minneapolis-St. Paul once years ago. It was 26 below with the wind chill. I wasn’t wearing a hat or gloves, and my coat was unzipped. She said, “How can you stand it? It’s so cold!” She looked stunned when I shrugged and said, “You get used to it.”

The country outside of New York City Limits is full of wonder for him.

Detroit Tigers broadcaster Jim Price kids the raw rookies by saying “He hasn’t gotten over the stage of looking up at all the tall buildings in the big leagues yet.”

That old baseball expression could be used for Bloomberg.

He always has to crane his neck to look up at everything.

He didn’t learn anything from Steve Forbes in 1996. Advertising alone will not get people to vote for you. He knows if they get to know him they will reject him. He can spend all he wants but it will not help him.

Tom Steyer is another one with ads ALL OVER TV that guy nauseates me, I mean the guy has NO charisma what so ever NOTHING to like about him!! He has had ads all over TV for at least 3 years about impeaching Trump that should help him out also!! The ENTIRE Dem side completely SUCKS!! There are ONLY 2 people on the planet that could possibly beat Trump, Oprah or Michele Obama AND that would be ONLY because of an overwhelming black vote!!! There is NO ONE else on the planet that can beat him!!!

When the crap in VA blows up, and people realize Bloomberg was responsible for funding their election...that might change folks’ ideas of Mini Mike.

He's the ex-Mayor of NYC

If we think back to 2015-2016, the fact that he was from New York was one of Candidate Trump's biggest hurdles to overcome. I don't believe Bloomberg can overcome that.

Dukakis in a tank and Bloomberg on a tractor...both are moronic...

I've seen exactly *one* Steyer ad. Can't remember what I was watching at the time.

I agree that both Steyer and his pitch are nauseating.

“...His ‘Corps of Idiots’ have no clue that he is just a tiny version of PDJT....
Just as obnoxious(which is why many never-trumpers supposedly don’t like PDJT) but without the personality.”

Um, he is nothing like PDJT. POTUS supports freedom, 2A, jobs, Big Gulps, etc. He doesn’t try to buy elections. Why would you compare this fascist to President Donald Trump.

My main point being that ‘they’ don’t like PDJT because he is a rich obnoxious buffoon (in THEIR mind)

In essence, Bloomberg is a mega rich New Yorker with all the NY attributes, he is just as ‘obnoxious as PDJT’ with zero personality and is a ‘midget’ to boot plus a boor.

I am not ‘comparing’ them in the regular sense, just saying he is a short version of all they ‘hate’ in PDJT.

Mike Bloomberg criticized the church shooter who saved the crowd of people, and mike said this:

“It may be true that someone in the congregation had his own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people, but it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot,.. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”

Nazis don’t believe ordinary citizens should own guns- neither does mike-

The left accuse the police of being murderers whenever they are forced to shoot someone, but the left thin that the police should be the ones to arrive minutes too late o n a scene to ‘save everyone’ from active shooters?

I swear the left are mentally ill-

He’s completely clueless about anything outside of NYC and thinks the lowly peasants should do as they are told.....by him of course.

“I just came from a farm, a soybean farm, in the coldest place — you have no idea how cold it is out there.” It was 9 degrees. In other words, winter. “

Uh, is it just me or didn’t this doofus spend at least some part of a winter in dear ol’ Noo Yawk?
