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.

And that's why Bloomberg is such a fraud.

He's the ex-Mayor of NYC. How's that going to play in Carbon County PA, Rural MI, and WI outside of Milwaukee and Madison (maybe Green Bay, I don't know)?
He's going to get crushed.
He'll bring VA, NV and AZ into play and solidify NC, FL, and OH.

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

What a freaking loser. He will die a billionaire but will never be president.

That has got to be one of the funniest pieces I’ve ever read in my way-over-the-hill life.

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.

All in the ‘world’ knew his being an ‘R’ Mayor was a sham so would imagine some of the die hard Libs will have no problem dumping the Ross Perot wannabe.

Difference is that if Bloomie runs as an I (whatever) he will suck the gun-grabbers and socialists and commies from the LIB side.

It does appear that all of these fools can hold their rallies in a kindergarten gym and still have seating room.

“I’m here to learn about another part of the country.”

And at what age this little bastard ?

His arrogance knows no bounds
