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.

His ads are everywhere , I even saw 3 of them posted to a HIGH SCHOOL basketball website called MAXPREPS-he won’t win Dem nomination as they are too far left to accept him but if he spends $billions for the Democratic nominee make no mistake-advertising sells -e.g NIKE now has market cap that is significantly bigger than the entire NBA, if someone says climate? -most people now answer climate change. So we and Trump have to work harder and not just assume because these guys and gals are clowns that it will be easy

I’m hoping this assclown jets over Iranian military airspace on the way to one of his estates!

Little Gulp doesn’t know where those places are. And most of them would not vote for a NYer

Unless his name was Trump.

Bloomberg used to be a Democrat before he became a Republican before he became an Independent before he became a Democrat again. Make up your progressive mind, Little Big Gulp

Hapless Mike Bloomberg is the rich version of hapless little Greta Thunberg. At least she has an excuse. She’s autistic.
What’s yours, Mayor Little Big Gulp?

I hear he’s quite the MICRO manager.

Made his money SHORTING the stock market.

His run for the presidency is no SMALL matter.

He’s out “in country” soaking up the culture of the LITTLE people.

Some ‘things’ never change.

Notice how if one ‘reminds’ you not to mention someones height, weight, bad suit etc etc etc that no matter how you try most everything ‘you’ say comes out in reference to what you are trying to avoid?

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.

Never thought of it that way.

Trump was born and raised in NY but never had a single problem relating to rural and southern voter. In fact, they're his biggest fans.

Bloomberg is pretty close to Trump's age and from the same place - but rural voters just spit him right out.

I saw one of his ads during the NFL playoff games. Does anyone know what particular office he is running for ?

Photographer: "Would you stand up please Mr. Boomberg, for the photo?"

Bloomberg: "I am standing up."

He will die a billionaire but will never be president.

He's not trying to be President. He's only trying to draw votes away from President Trump. IIRC, he even stated so.

Just heard callers on the radio mentioning this - tying Bloomberg & Soros to the takeover of Virginia.

Election 2020 is about the same thing as 2016; getting people out to vote, in a desperate attempt to salvage some traces of our great country while turning back the Bolshevik commissars.
