Yes Bloomberg is fantastically wealthy, but it won't save his life if he picks Hillary as his running mate.

If he's buying a Presidency, he surely knows to steer clear of those that are well known back stabbers.

Figuratively and literally.

I think it’s odd that both Bernie and Bloomberg never speak about their Judaism. Not that it would happen, but Possible First Jewish president and all that Jazz.

Bloomberg's super Tuesday strategy remains in play. As long as Biden is in the race Sanders is OK but if Biden drops out that will only help Bloomberg.

Bloomberg or Bernie?

I'm not sure which is the worse nightmare.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

These Bloomberg commercials have stretched the truth so far it is screaming under the strain. His latest claims that he led NYC through 9/11. Amazing since he wasn't Mayor at the time.

They are Erev Rav.

The Erev Rav, are of the mixed multitude who came out of Egypt with the Israelites. They became, and continue to be a "thorn in the flesh" of the Jewish people.

America has a similar issue with it's own "Erev Rav". Those who founded this country, left the King ans Crown and chose to be free. They were followed by many who had not "heart and soul" for freedom and liberty.
And later, others came to the Land of the Free, (also) a thorn in the flesh of those who love what this country stands for, the desire that all be free to enjoy and promote liberty, and choose to "live and let live".

We have and will, always battle such people, and they will proclaim themselves above the rest. But, they are not of us.

I hear tell Bloomberg has all the charisma of a dead fish.

Elizabeth Warren is already calling for the other candidates to use Bloomberg as a sparring dummy at the debate:

quote:
"It's a shame Mike Bloomberg can buy his way into the debate," Warren wrote online. "But at least now primary voters curious about how each candidate will take on Donald Trump can get a live demonstration of how we each take on an egomaniac billionaire."


According to Politico, the other candidates are pissed that a convenient rule change got him into the debate, and:

quote:
Those tensions are all but certain to come to a head on stage Wednsday, when Bloomberg is bracing to receive incoming fire from Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders and [Elizabeth] Warren.

so here is a video where Bloomberg says a particular thing that I completely agree with.

BUT him saying that will hurt him in his campaign to be the DEM presidential candidate

Bloomberg’s sensitivity was far less apparent at a forum hosted by the Bermuda Business Development Agency on March 21, 2019, in Manhattan, where Bloomberg derided Democratic candidates for talking about transgender protections.

“If your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,” he said.

Bloomberg made a similar remark about a “man wearing a dress” in 2016, but his comments uncovered Tuesday — remarks he made less than a year ago — came amid the early stages of the 2020 Democratic primary.

“And so you can understand where somebody like Trump comes from,” Bloomberg said at the forum last year. “You can understand when you look at the Democratic Party, they are so far left that two years ago there was nobody on their side who would take these positions, and today virtually all the candidates for president of the Democratic Party are so progressive. I don’t know what progressive means.”


start about 12 minutes in

https://youtu.be/8eMXsQseqzM



Bloomberg:

"Supposedly 6 million people looking for jobs, but some of the estimates are that half of them have such a drug problem they will never ever get work again."

He said Jim Mattis told him "only 25% of young people in America could qualify to join the military. They aren't in physical shape, they can't read, they can't write, and the drug problem is something that is astronomical"

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/a...ender-comments-video

yeah, Buzzfeed

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


edit: Bloomberg team moving fast. Video has been taken "private"

here is text from the Buzzfeed article:

When Bloomberg raised a similar talking point in 2016, he was discussing the fallout of the North Carolina anti–transgender rights law. According to reports that emerged earlier this month, Bloomberg said, "If you want to know if somebody is a good salesman, give him the job of going to the Midwest and picking a town and selling to that town the concept that some man wearing a dress should be in a locker room with their daughter."

"Mike is running to defeat Donald Trump and reverse the many policies he has implemented that attack the rights of the transgender community," the spokesperson told the network.

But the latest video shows that he was still deploying this idea three years later, in 2019, as the primary started to unfold.

A former Republican, Bloomberg has emerged as contender in the Democratic primary after he doused the nation with a $400 million ad buy — enough to boost his poll numbers to 19% among Democrats in a national poll released Tuesday and to qualify for Wednesday’s debate in Nevada.

Back at the March 2019 forum, Bloomberg said he’d largely ruled out running for president this year due to his political views, saying in a video, “It’s just not going to happen on a national level for somebody like me starting where I am, unless I was going to change all my views and go on what CNN calls an apology tour.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ironic that someone like me agrees w much of what Bloomberg said previously, but now he is changing his image and denouncing his former positions. What a pathetic pandering political hack this guy is.

Neither can win. Bernie will alienate all of the moderate dems and anyone not willing to nuke and pave their way of life, especially when things are going good. Bloomberg offers the same that Trump does that dems have been railing against for the last four years. He's not going to encourage turnout.

Democrats driving hard left, Bloomberg assisting:

What's pushing Bernie Sanders to the Democrats' top?

Up until now, Democrats have been focused on finding the right candidate who can Get Trump.

For awhile, many were gravitating toward Joe Biden for this very reason, citing his Scranton roots and supposed common man demeanor. It wasn't based on any authentic affection for Biden. It was who could Beat Trump. As Biden fell apart over impeachment, with revelations about how he amassed wealth for himself and his relatives in public office, some moved over to Pete Buttigieg or Amy Klobuchar.

Then Michael Bloomberg came on the scene, scarfing up a large part of the collapsing Biden vote by pouring money into the presidential race. He hired staff at exorbitant salaries. He spent so much on TV ads he drove rates up, leaving the remaining Democrats with just scraps. Bloomberg's effectively bottomless pit of money and his tactical history of bribing activists to keep quiet about him were effectively a leveraged buyout of a down-and-out Democratic Party.

Yet he was everything Democrats hated: He was a billionaire, Mister 0.00001%. He was politically incorrect. He was as sexist and racist as they came. He was a phony, payng "influencers" to booster for him, which is about as inauthentic as it gets. He also was an unpopular mayor who neglected New York City with no preparations as Hurricane Sandy hit, and turned Manhattan into a sea of glass skyscrapers and empty storefronts. Not even lefties like this stuff. Then he got the DNC to bend the rules to allow him onto the Democratic debate stage, his first appearance today, which was something Cory Booker and Kamala Harris could not do. All this, through the miracle of money. To the Democrats who moved to Bloomberg from Camp Biden, that made him the guy who could beat Trump.

But something else happened, and the timing was pinpoint: Bernie Sanders rose to first place in several polls, and by a massive double-digit margin. Sanders broke out.



That's despite Sanders's age, his ten tons of political positively communist baggage, and his unworkable plan to "transform" America into Venezuela, all things that pretty well kept him from rising to the top earlier. He's an old, old, old radical whose communist views have never mellowed, as Megan McArdle noted here. But somehow he's now the Democratic frontrunner and that's despite the conventional wisdom, probably correct, that he can't Beat Trump.

And most important, that's despite this issue described by NPR:

Poll: Sanders Rises, But Socialism Isn't Popular With Most Americans

People, including Democrats, despise what Sanders stands for. But they're still signing up for Bernie.

Coming at this time, it's a sign that what Democrats really don't like is Michael Bloomberg's cynical takeover of their party, based on his big money.

There are actually two pieces of circumstantial evidence to suggest that this scurry to Bernie is being propelled by Bloomberg's rise.

One, there's the extreme negativity on Twitter on Bloomberg -- and most of it's coming from the left. Here's a random sample from the past few hours:

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
