CNN’s Van Jones Buries Bloomberg for ‘Disaster’ Debate: ‘Titanic, Meet Iceberg… Tone Deaf on Issue After Issue’

Right after tonight’s big Democratic debate, there was a general consensus on CNN that it went very badly for Michael Bloomberg.

Van Jones put things the most succinctly when he said it was a “disaster” for the former New York mayor:

“Bloomberg went in as the titanic — billion-dollar-machine titanic. Titanic, meet iceberg Elizabeth Warren. She took him to task in a way that I’ve never seen in a debate. She took it over, she prosecuted him. But the worst part about it is for me a lot of African-Americans are placing great hope in Bloomberg, despite the stop and frisk… you’re seeing people trying to move over there, and he just wasn’t ready. He was tone-deaf on issue after issue, and the reason why — he’s not beenin those living rooms, he hasn’t been doing those town halls.”

“His answer on women was terrible, he got destroyed on the NDA question, his answer on stop and frisk was as bad as it could possibly be, and then he basically lied on his answer when it came to redlining,” Jones continued. “He let people down tonight.”

So you’re saying Rosa Kleb-uchar should wear “special shoes” to the next debate, eh?

I'm saying that unless she finished in the top 2 in Nevada on SAT night, she drops out on Sunday... and she is polling in 6th.

I disagree with Jones’ political leanings, but he’s shockingly on point with some of his commentary.

The NY media would portray a Republican as a virtual Nazi if they had said and done the same things as Bloomberg. In fact they would make the Republican unelectable in NYC. But they didn’t do that to Bloomie.

Any candidate who tries to hide his actual height is lying to voters right out of the box.

Time for more 2020 circular firing squads created by the Democrats!

Pull up a chair, sit down, have some popcorn, relax and watch their next circular firing squad.:

How the Iowa Caucusesand the Nevada Debate Became an Epic Fiasco for Democrats.

The problems that beset the Democratic Party’s first state caucus of the 2020 presidential race ran far deeper and wider than one bad app and one bad/blotched/caucus and debate.

Dem primaries are becoming circular firing squads!

Just Stand Back, and let them destroy each other!

Sit back and enjoy the dems in their new and upcoming circular firing squads!

There Are No Good Democrats, Anymore!

Thanks to Bonemaker for this great reality.

Van Jones surprises me many times. He makes observations and says or writes them; even if they may be detrimental to the dim party.

I am not sure I agree with Van Jones, all I can say is “pile on, Van, crush Bloomberg, b/c Sanders should be easier for Trump to thrash!!”

IMHO theres a crazy cognitive dissonance going on here. On one hand we are urging Blacks to wake up and smell the employment #s, BLEXIT, etc., and oh, BTW, stop and frisk saved more black law abiding lives while it made it easier to lock up black criminals...

On the other hand we are cheering on commie Van Jones and the rest of the Dem Commies as they scream “RACIST!, CAPITALIST!, TRANNY HATER!” at Bloomberg...

I can never forgive Bloomberg for the 9/11 Mosque, plus he’s got his tongue up Xi Ping’s butt, so I guess in the end, we have o cheer on commies to screw him.

And she looks so believable, like she ate her way thru the rubble.

Be terribly ironic if Van Jones was ever shot by a jihadi tranny, who could have been stopped during a stop and frisk, if only he hadn’t lost his home he shouldn’t have been able to buy with a NINJA loan...
