Daily Caller news Foundation ^ | March 6, 2020 | Chris White

“Most people knew this was a grift,” one campaign official noted, according to Klippenstein’s report. “At our first office meeting, my [director] said, ‘We don’t need to canvass. We can just make calls, right guys?’ And everyone was like, ‘Yeah, that’s sensible.’”

.
.
The person added: “It was easy enough to fudge the data to make it look like real people put in real volunteer work, when in reality Mike was getting nothing out of it.”

He wanted the ultimate shortcut.

Most of the time in life, there isn’t one and if there is, there’s usually a catch

Nanny’s jealousy’s against Trump cost him some serious dime. His own version of an economic stimulus package. What a dipschlitz.

Bloomberg, Cuban, Steyer... Idiots that got lucky a couple times, 25 years ago, think they are so much smarter that the rest of us. Just ask them.. they’ll tell you.

Anyone looking the awful tweets or the awkward joke delivery or going even further back, anyone who just watched the guy eat, would know he will NEVER be President.

Even you average podunk farmer could have told him that, if he ever talked to anyone who wasn’t a yes-man sycophant.

Most of Bloomberg’s ads could be described in one word: ‘dull’. And if I were allowed two words, I’d say ‘very dull’. It was as if he were running for assistant secretary of the local chamber of commerce.

Remember when Romney paid all that money for some great computerized election-day GOTV system? And then they figured out mid-afternoon of election day that it was all a huge scam? As sad as it was to see Obama reelected, that was about the funniest thing ever. And even funnier in retrospect.

Someone posted yesterday that Bloomberg could have given a one million dollar check to EVERY adult in the country and spent LESS money!! These asshats talk about wanting to change the lives of the middle class and poor WELL Bloomberg could have changed the lives of EVERYONE in America AND probably gotten the nomination by doing so!!! They don’t give a shit about the lives of Americans improving, the only damn thing Bloomy cares about is his EGO!!!

You need to check the math on that meme.

Brian Williams and Mara Gay from the New York Times, plus their producers and everyone else at MSNBC, and came off looking like the idiots they are, didn’t check their math either, and got pummeled for it.

So get your calculators and lets go American Population - Est 327 Million Amount to be given to each - $1 Million dollars So take 327 million time 1 million dollars and post the result below Hint: the total he would have to spend is NOT 327 Million Here ya go $327,000,000,000,000‬.00 327 million times 1 million Somebody needs to learn math!

From the article: I know of at least one team of ‘volunteers’ that was entirely fabricated by the organizers who had to hit their goals,” one staffer said, according to Klippenstein’s report. The person added: “It was easy enough to fudge the data to make it look like real people put in real volunteer work, when in reality Mike was getting nothing out of it.”

One reason why centralized planning always fails is because centralized data collection is easy to game. The USSR starved millions of farmers because the crop yields were reported to the central planners as much higher than they were to meet centrally planned goals. Moscow took the numbers at face value and collected their share, which turned out to leave nothing for the farmers.

Big lumbering businesses have forgotten the failures of the USSR and are still drawn to big bureaucracy, centralized data collection, and planning. It's a curse.

This makes what President Trump accomplished that much more impressive.
