Campaign confirms Bloomberg will not stand on box during Democratic debate

does he have a child’s podium to speak from. I calculated his height by scaling his height to a know height of an object next to him in two photos that I could find that showed his full body standing. He cannot be over 5’4”... if that and he was wearing shoes.

Actually Mayor BUTT is no taller than Bloomy!!!

[mewzilla]

Platform shoes.

[Deaf Smith]

Bloomberg will be fine.

Robert De Niro loaned him his platform shoes.

The clown car got so full that only Buttgigity and Bloomie would fit into it.

[JustaCowgirl]

Yeah, that was such a ridiculous thing to do. I can’t believe he ever showed his face in public again.

[Zhang Fei]

After a recalc, that number looks more like $25m. Pretty amazing this amount of money could fit in a piece of check-in luggage.

[Vendome]

I heard Michael Bloomberg telling trump that we measure a man from the neck up

And my 1st thought was “Not if your trying to get on a ride at Disney Land”

[Rdct29]

I love how president Trump makes the Bloomturd campaign answer silly questions like Mini Mike using a soap box during the debate. That's just hilarious.

Mini-Mike bringing platform shoes?

[KevinB]

Do they still make men’s shoes with lifts?

Yes, Bono and Bruce Springsteen are single-handedly keeping the industry afloat.

[Celtic Conservative]

Instead, all the other candidates will stand in trenches.

Platform shoes? Mini stilts for Mini Mike?

I dunno about that... just watched a couple of minutes of the debate and they all came loaded for bear and that bears name is Bloomberg. It is looking like a bloodbath.

“Mr. Bloomberg is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 165 pounds,
and has a muscular body mass index of 25.8kg/m2,” said
a 300-word “medical report,” calling the billionaire “a
77-year-old man in outstanding health”.

[TigersEye]

He’s going to stand on the back of a guy on all fours.
Actually two guys will alternate so they don’t get too tired.
One farmer and one machinist.

The difference is that Bloomberg gets to fire back via ads and ground game. That’s what unlimited money does for a candidate. He’s in Nevada because it would have looked cowardly to refuse. But where other candidates need the debate for free media coverage, Bloomberg doesn’t. In fact, it would be better for him had they not invited him.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Agreed. Showing up in Nevada was a lose lose for him. Most people have tuned out already and he did not do himself ANY favors. Money only goes so far when you are not likeable.

I doubt the middle-of-the-road Democrats who voted for him in NYC really worried about Bloomberg’s likeability. They liked his competence. And Bloomberg isn’t just competent compared to the rest of the Democratic field - he’s a competent person, period. That’s his primary selling point, and unless he reveals himself to be an Elder of Zion who bakes matzos using the blood of Christian children, I don’t really see debates denting the following he is getting from his biography ads, which he will run all the way up to the convention. Like it or not, Horatio Alger stories like his continue to resonate among Democratic voters, especially when Michael Douglas is the narrator.

[KarlInOhio]

What will he stand on?

DNC Chairman Tom Perez will hold Bloomie up to the microphone.
