Is Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton's Stalking Horse?
No Hillary Clinton ^ | Vince Foster

Is Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton’s “Stalking Horse”?

Could Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg be working in concert to bleed Republican votes away like Ross Perot did to George Bush Sr.? Few people know that Ross Perot and Bill Clinton were friends and had several closed door meetings at the Gov. Mansion in Arkansas and in Dallas, the home of Ross Perot, prior to the 1992 election.

Could the Mayor of New York (A Liberal who ran as a Republican) be secretly helping out Hillary Clinton by joining the race as an Independent. Sure this would bleed off votes from both the Democrats and the Republicans, but I just can’t help but to recall Arkansas State Trooper Larry Patterson’s account of the meetings and phone calls that took place between his boss Gov. Bill Clinton and Ross Perot.

I did have concerns right away when I heard about him running.

Bubba pulled this stunt twice.
PeROT did not fool me then.

But people here claim he would hurt Hildabeast more.

Vince baby, I thought Mrs. Clinton killed ya and had your body placed in Fort Marcy Park.
Just one of many she had offed. That along with being a thief, liar, lesbian and enabler of a sexual pervert I don’t put anything past her.

Ross Bloomberg

That's how I'll refer to him until he is no factor.

Ras did a poll on this. Bloomberg only hurt the GOP candidate. He gave the election to Hillary! in hypothetical matches with Rudy and McCainedy.

Bloomberg? Doesn’t that faggot understand that there is a whole country out here that IS NOT New York? Go ahead and run. The liberal gun grabber will only siphon votes off of the dems.

“Is Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton’s “Stalking Horse”?”

Yes. He is not running for president. He is running for Supreme Court Justice.

I don't see how that makes any sense, why would a republican conservative vote for Bloomberg?

Also, whatever perot did in 92', in 96' he viciously attacked Clinton and was responsible for dragging Clinton below 50% for the second time. The Clinton people were very upset about that.

Perot correctly predicted that, if reelected, Clinton would be impeached and plunge the country into a constitutional crisis.

I like hearing that Perot caused Clinton to win in 92, but at the time I recall it being said he pulled equally from both sides.

Possibly true, but then, there’s no Republican candidate right now with any chance of winning anyway....she’s just prepping for trying to not lose to Fred Thompson when he enters the race, and is the only Conservative Republican who could beat her.....

I’m just reporting what Trooper Patterson said in an interview.
That Perot and Clinton were friends.

Hillary and Bloomberg appear to be friends.

Both are rich men.

It’s hard for me to believe anyone would vote for him - but that’s me. Millions on millions in ads will sway many.

I think he would hurt her in NY; possibly in CA.

I can't imagine a Republican outside NY or the NE voting for him so it would seem that he would hurt her more. Could be wishful thinking on my part.

Fred is my choice but I'd much rather have Rudy than Bloomie.

Bloomberg will only hurt Hillary because he’s to her left. No republican would think of voting for him. Perot was a totally different case. He was known as a pro-American “patriot”. Conservatives could at least feel somewhat comfortable voting for him, regardless of his insanity. I admit I fell for it in 1992.

Exactly what votes would Bloomey siphon from the pub candidate? The Guiliani vote?

If he even manages to get more than 100 votes total.

I’m not saying that a third party candidate can’t do damage, but not Bloomberg.

Nobody knows who he is.

The poll is basically saying that the GOP voters are looking for an alternative moreso than the Dems.

Ross Perot’s candidacy cost Bush Sr. the election and sent our country into one of the worst downspins in history. We need to be very alert to that game and to call it out early and relentlessly.

Do not underestimate Bloomberg.He got the conservative Republicans on Staten Island,N.Y.to vote for him. He is at least as dangerous as Perot and will spend more money.

He was the only option. It was him or Mark Green. Mark Green is Stalin without the charm.

Mark Green would get about as many conservative votes as Stalin.
