A former adviser to President Bill Clinton speculated that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton are plotting a way for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she’s not in the race.
“Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday.
He said Bloomberg would stay in the race, even if he has no chance of winning, in an effort to get at least enough support to keep Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from running away with the nomination.
“Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot, and it’ll go to a second ballot,” Morris said of a brokered convention. “The problem is that the party establishment doesn’t have a candidate. They can’t do Bloomberg because he got killed in the debate. … Can’t do [Joe] Biden because he’s already lost the front-runner status. … [Pete] Buttigieg looks like a high school kid at the Model UN. … [Elizabeth] Warren is third, but she’s pretty far to the Left, and they’re not going to want to trust her.”
Morris said Sanders, the current front-runner, would “get massacred by Trump” in the general election and predicted that Clinton, the 2016 nominee, would enter the race on a second ballot at a brokered convention.
“And then Hillary begins to gain; the other candidates begin to drop out. And Hillary is the nominee. That, I think, is the establishment scenario,” he said. “Hillary is the only candidate that they’ll be able to come up with that can measure up to Donald Trump.”
Clinton said in November that she was receiving a number of calls urging her to rethink her decision to sit out of the 2020 race but said it was “absolutely not” in her plans. When asked earlier this month if she would consider being a vice presidential candidate, Clinton reluctantly conceded an openness to the idea.
“I never say never because I do believe in serving my country, but it’s not going to happen,” she said.
The Drudge Report reported last week that Bloomberg was considering Clinton as his running mate, but the former secretary of state said she had no interest.
Dick Morris [sigh]
Could happen—and would destroy the Democratic Party for a generation...
They need Bernie to have a heart attack. His supporters are greater than last time..and if Hillary steals it from them again there will be hell to pay from the Commie crowd
If Hillary steals the nomination from Bernie 2 times; the Bernie Bros won’t just stay home on election day, they will kill Hillary.
so, a win win..?
H.A. Goodman has been saying the exact same thing for at least the past year and half.
I can’t see Bloomberg spending $500M dollars for this. What’s in it for him? VP?
Hillary (sigh) why won’t that 2 time Presidential loser just go away.
She went after Paula, Quanita, Monica, Tulsi, Jill Stein.
Go away, your bitter and have no chance against Trump.
(SIGH) Dick Morris has as much credibility about Hillary Clinton’s plans as Mitt Romney has about Trump’s plans.
It would be Dick Morris. He knows how devious snake lady and pervert are, like nobody else.
Sanders is in a far stronger position than he was four years ago. His support is growing among the RAT ranks and will only get stronger if the DNC tries to backdoor Hillary for the nomination. Hillary is finished as a presidential candidate.
“I never say never because I do believe in serving my country, but it’s not going to happen,” she said.
Translation: “I never say never because I do believe The Clinton Foundation could use a real good fund-raising, but I was so damned tired last time around I could hardly fake being in mediocre health. Just give me my Chardonnay and let me stay relevant by putting my stupid face on tv now and again and I’ll be happy.”
She’s unelectable Jim.
Is this the same Dick Morris who predicted Mitt Romney in a landslide?
So Bloomberg is basically making a multi Billion dollar campaign contribution to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Then he can be the Vice President pick and spend another couple of Billion on her and his joint campaign.
He thinks he can buy the presidency. Maybe he can.
A heart attack is easy to arrange. There are at least two easy-to-find drugs that can be used. One is insulin, the other I forget the name of. And my late brother-in-law ninja taught me how to do it with a blow to the chest of a certain type; leaves no mark. You can be sure that the deep state spooks who are still loyal to snake lady know that, and the name of the second drug. Snake lady probably knows it, too.
“They need Bernie to have a heart attack. “
He will. Count on it.
That decrepit old man is a walking corpse. Just ask Hillary or Bloomberg, they’ll tell ya.
I can’t see Bloomberg spending $500M dollars for this. What’s in it for him? VP?
He’s already shelled out $500M, and its only been a month
