New front-runner? Mike Bloomberg in first place in new Florida poll
Florida Politics ^ | February 14, 2020 | Ryan Nicol

Posted on 02/14/2020 6:54:25 AM PST by Trump20162020

A shocking St. Pete Polls survey late last month has Mike Bloomberg surging to second in the Florida presidential primary. The newest version from the same outfit, released Friday, shows Bloomberg is now slightly ahead among Florida Democrats, edging out former Vice President Joe Biden.

St. Pete Polls conducted the survey among likely Florida voters. More than 27% selected Bloomberg as their top choice. Biden secured just under 26% support in the survey.

That’s within the poll’s margin of error, which is 1.8 percentage points. But it marks a drastic shift from the previous snapshot of the race taken by St. Pete Polls, when Biden performed 15 points better.

A person who abuses blacks can buy an election

Even Trump is more honest than the Bloom’n idiot. The only reason the idiot is running is rivalry with President Trump. It’s pure jealousy.

While jealousy might be a factor, Bloomberg has is being pushed by the business interests that have money and can not tolerate any of those left running. Bloomberg is being pushed by the Democrat establishment or what is left of it.

Doomberg vs Biden is the matchup to watch, and not just in Florida.

WRONG.

Let the Democrats start ATTACKING each other. Bloomberg has been ignored by other Democrats. That will change.

Newt Gingrich is right, Bloomberg is the biggest threat to Trump. The media will ignore his issues among blacks and a lot of blacks will never hear of them. He also has some past settlements with female employees, the usual hostile work environment etc. Those women have signed non-disclosure agreements and there will be calls to release them from the NDAs and let them talk. We’ll see how that goes.

As it stands now I think Bloomberg has a good shot at being President. Trump won Wisconsin, Michigan and Pa. with very thin margins. Good chance Bloomberg can bleed off some white male Union support in those states, and it wouldn’t take a lot of those voters to put Trump in danger.

Trump needs to start attacking Bloomberg on the issues, not on how short he is

If he needs a name, "Nanny Bloomberg" or "Big Gulp Mike" are more effective than "Mini Mike," or whatever POTUS has been calling him.

After all, we can see the guy is short, but many do not know about his Big Government policies.

He’s basically the last candidate to avoid scrutiny, so he has no “stink”.

Exactamundo!

Its hard for me to see Bloomberg attracting much rank-n-file union support. He sounds & looks like the “Boss that fired me!”, meaning first glance gut reaction he conjures up the image of a stereotypical bad boss. Then when he opens his “know-it-all” mouth the image is complete.

Interesting. That means the deep state democrats (clinton-soros) are going to back bloomberg for awhile. Until he is exposed, meaning they are eliminating the competition so that Hillary can fly in on her broom after the first vote at the DNC Convention.

Are you talking about Bloomberg? He isn’t a moderate anything. Look at his ads, everything is big government, he is a socialist..

FACT:

Doomberg is spending a TON of money in the MIAMI television market. When I am at the gym, all four main English speaking stations are on, and are CONSTANTLY running "Mike Can Do It" commercials.

I have also noticed the local Miami media seems to IGNORE the stories about Bloomberg making faith-based remarks about criminal and the housing crisis.

One might think local "news" stations are refusing to cover the Doomberg controversies because he is spending a TON of money for them. But THAT would never happen, right?

The stink has been loosed. The stink has to do with stop and frisk pronouncements

The stink has to do with being short...... 5’ 4” tall

Indeed.

The guy’s an expert. It’s uncanny.

Never in the political game; and was better at it than the entire lot of them instantly.

Left Jeb Bush muttering ‘please clap’; Ted Cruz losing his sh** over comments regarding his Dad; and Hillary in convulsions.

It was a masterwork that can only be matched by what we might see as a reprise in 2020.
