A Contrary View: Mini Mike Isn't Done Despite the Debate Debacle
Legal Insurrection ^ | February 20, 2020 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 02/20/2020 6:20:15 AM PST by CheshireTheCat

Mike Bloomberg had a terrible night at the Las Vegas debate. On that point, I’m in agreement with the conventional wisdom.

I’m not in agreement that he is done as a candidate, assuming he’s still willing to spend an additional half-billion dollars on advertising, paying social media ‘influencers’ to hype him, and buying up Democrat policitians and media...

...Bloomberg’s reason to be in this contest is to be the last non-Bernie non-Warren candidate standing.

He basically tried to say it was normal for a person who lives in Vermont to have a residence AND a summer house, while also having to have a house in DC where he ‘works’. Yeah. All us regular Joe’s have a second ‘summer house’. Its normal. /s

“In the end I suspect that the Democrats won’t be able to convince most of their voters to pull the lever for an ex-Republican Wall Street billionaire.”

You give them far more credit than I do, I think all but the most radical Bernie-Bros will fall in line. Bloomy will be hard to beat with his billions.

“Bloomberg’s money and slick ads will power him through horrible debates, a lack of detectable personality, and past serious mistakes.”

Right. That’s why President Hillary is in the White House today.

IF Bloomberg spends an additional half billion, then he could have paid every USA CITIZEN $2 million each & could have also paid the taxes on all of that for each recipient.

At some point though the candidate needs to be attractive in some way shape or form. Just look at hundreds of millions that Hillary spent.

He is self funded. He won’t face the instant dry up of campaign contributions due to a bad performance or even a bad boy total in Nevada..

I personally do not thing Bloomberg wants the nomination. I think he just wants to play kingmaker...

So I think he’s sticking around until the 20% of support hainhuge ad buys are getting him is given to someone of his choosing in exchange for something.

I didn’t say he’d beat President Trump. But I can see him being the Dem candidate.

Not to be the nominee. And that’s what I was talking about. In the general election, Bloomberg would get soundly beaten.

Thanks....I hadn’t run across it anywhere yet. Whoever said these jerks who go to Congress NEED to have a house in the city or anywhere near? DC, MD, VA don’t have rentals? Oh! Too expensive? No - just wouldn’t be appropriate for someone of his (their) importance when they get there..

You probably have already, but if you haven’t check out the video from Project Veritas of the Bernie worker that says as much. You’r jaw will drop. They are wacky and dangerous, never a good combo.

She wears that black body suit or whatever the hell it is in almost every picture every day along with a coat or whatever you call it. Most times in goofy sneakers too. What a weirdo she is. I bet that body suit can walk on its' own power.

Mini Mike will have a real hard time attracting any Dem women after the Liawatha take down. He should have seen this coming. The same people have been beating Trump up over “hush money” and NDA’s for the last three years.

She reminds me of Stewie from Mad TV, “Look what I can do” SPAZ~

All of her mannerisms are bizarre, neurotic and spastic.

Pundits have missed the main reason this debate performance was so damaging to Bombberg. The main reason is that for most viewers, this was their FIRST impression of Bombberg and the telecast drew a bigger audience because of curiosity about how he would come across.

First impressions last.

Kaboom.
