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.”

Everyone already knew little Mikey was a BIG POS! Jones did do a respectable job of telling the TRUTH about little Mikey’s realities. When RATS tell the truth, they are usually on a dedicated mission....

Democrats don’t care. The nominee will get Bloomberg’s money and Bloomy will be the power behind the throne.

I thought Biden’s clarification on the reason for the NDA’s was one of his best moments tonight.

They can vote for anyone after the first vote doesn’t result in a majority. WIDE OPEN.

Hillary controls the DNC and the super delegates.

It’s actually likely to happen. Open convention.

Soon people will be comparing him to Weinstein. Didn’t Weinstein use NDAs to hide his misdeeds. What is Mike hiding? Warren is reminiscent of the dying fiend who with her last strength fatally sticks a knife deep into her enemy.

Hillary will show up at the convention and take it. Michelle Obama will be the VP. That’s my call for weeks now.

Mine too. This is all show.

Hitlery is lining up her super-delegates for the most cigar-smoke filled backroom of brokered conventions.

“At this point the party elders will pick Bloomberg”

Not gonna happen. AOC has bigger pull now than the party elders (Pelosi, Schumer). She will threaten to support a third party candidate and they will cave. Just like they did on impeachment.

The party elders will figure that the election is lost and will let Bernie and AOC go down in flames going against Trump.

Communist Van Jones wants Bloomberg out of the race. No surprise there.

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

I'm saying that unless she finishes in the top 3 in Nevada on SAT night, she drops out on Sunday... and she is polling in 6th according to RCP

A brokered convention spells the end for the Democrats especially if Bernie gets to Milwaukee with the most delegates. The Berniebots won’t take this crap twice in a row.

It’s Hillary’s nomination if she wants.

They knew these candidates would tear each other apart to the point where none of them would be viable once the smoke cleared.

Meanwhile, Hillary’s stays above the fray.
