Because he has more money than God?
We will know a lot more after tonight.
The other Democratic candidates have to slay the dragon or feel the flames...
So why is The Federalist campaigning for Bloomberg? Are they that afraid that Sanders will gain the presidency?
7. The fix is in.
I guess we’ll soon find out if the Presidency can really be bought, if it can be then we will never have another President who is not a Billionaire. The Jeff Bezo’s and Mark Zuckerberg’s of world will trade the Presidency back and forth like it’s just another bauble for their crowns.
DOOMBERG can go preach his “gospel” somewhere else.... say Venezuela.
So called “toughness” is cruelty. He is a cruel rich man-—some of them are. Not all.
He thinks only he matters and all of us are like ants he can step on if he so desires.
His humiliating and condescending insults to female employees and minorities should not go unpunished.
Let’s put them in TV ads.
Mmm Hmmm
And when he heads out of the insular city state of Noo Yawk to lecture the Goyim of the Heartland, what does he plan to say about how he somehow represents them and their interests? In ways that Trump hasn’t already done in spades?
The Rat Party is certainly going to have a historic race: two white males from a vague “ethnicity” known as Judaism representing what - 1.5% of the American populace? - arguing with each other over who can stomp out the distasteful, evil American nation most effectively.
Bring in 100 million more Spaniards? Maybe 200 million Chinese? Both? Outlaw Christianity? Abnegate the Bill of Rights? Impose Socialism but with a cutout for the Nomenklatura to retain their wealth?
Undoubtedly a spectacle never before contemplated by the Americans...which neither of them are.
If this f*cker wins it’s the end of our republic
[Remember, SQF was a controversial policy when he ran for mayor in 2009 in a city that has high black and Latino populations. ]
Barring some implosion we’re not likely to see from someone as formidable as Bloomberg, it’s now a race between him and Sanders. He will buy off all the also-rans, pick one of them as his VP and crush Sanders at the convention. After all, what’s Biden going to do with his consolation prize of being an almost, but not-quite Democratic nominee? Why not get a standing lifetime invitation to use Bloomberg’s private jets anytime he wants to?
7. Because Bernie steps aside like a nice gentleman whenever something is stolen from him (ie. microphones and primaries.)
“The failure of the opposition research over the past week to stunt Bloomberg’s growth has been telling.”
Past week?
Does this guy think this stuff happens at the speed of Twitter?
The past week has set a golden table for any candidate to eat Bloom’s lunch, and has introduced a hell of an opening salvo.
And everyone knows there is FAR FAR more to come.
Running for president is not the same as running for Mayor of NYC.
Sounds like they are trolling for hits by taking the supposed “middle ground” or hedging their bets
Let us face the fact that no matter what side one aligns to the folks who ride the pine (fence sitters) make money either way by taking this position.
This is a critically different time in our history where the forces amassed against us are global and not just “those of our own house”
Stand and be counted and worry not what others say, a weak mind is easily turned but set your course and follow it through
Choose...
But do so wisely
I will say that what worries me about Bloomberg is that he just might be palpable enough for Never Trumper Republicans (like Kasich and Romney) to support.
I don’t see that possibility with any of the other Rat candidates.
“First of all, it shows that he will be able to outspend Trump in a general election”
Hillary didn’t lose due to lack of money..in fact she spent more than Trump.
So, spend away!
1. Build It Back program... 90% of applicants got zero aid. It all went to the big names (cronyism), and also seemed to lose hundreds of millions of unaccounted dollars.
2. CityTime program... $80m "just slipped through the cracks" (his own words)
3. Bermuda scandal... he vacationed there while NYC dug out from a particularly bad winter storm.
4. Term Limits... he decided that he was too important to the city during a tough financial period, and so he "persuaded" the City Council to repeal them. NYC voters immediately restored them, but Bloomberg still got to stay in power. (And the Lefties ask if Trump will step down if he loses in NOV. Ahem.)
5. Stop and Frisk program... called racist from the very beginning, and he has both defended and apologized for it in recent weeks.
6. Cathleen Black... a magazine mogul he appointed to lead the largest school system in America. She had zero education or experience in the field. She lasted 96 days. Cronyism is not a word that the Left likes to hear.
7. Elitism... he has denigrated farmers and teachers unions and blacks and women and civil libertarians in past comments revealed in just the past 2 weeks.
8. and worst of all, Mike Bloomberg has never been in office as a Democrat. He was a Republican while he was Mayor of NYC!!! Nothing is more unforgivable to the Left than that!!!
So the party that has RAILED against billionaires buying this nation are going to sell their nomination to someone willing to buy it?
Makes perfect sense....
2. Who Can Beat Trump?
Other than a rigged election..no one can beat Trump.
Rumor around DC is that he will ask Mayor Bowser, a black, still-in-the-closet lesbian, to be his running mate. She’s actually not a bad mayor, by the low-bar standards of DC mayors, and is far more reasonable than most Dim presidential candidates, but even she is shy about giving up what she calls “the best job in Washington.”
