Sounds like they are trolling for hits by taking the supposed “middle ground” or hedging their bets

Let us face the fact that no matter what side one aligns to the folks who ride the pine (fence sitters) make money either way by taking this position.

This is a critically different time in our history where the forces amassed against us are global and not just “those of our own house”

Stand and be counted and worry not what others say, a weak mind is easily turned but set your course and follow it through

Choose...

But do so wisely

I will say that what worries me about Bloomberg is that he just might be palpable enough for Never Trumper Republicans (like Kasich and Romney) to support.

I don’t see that possibility with any of the other Rat candidates.

[The Rat Party is certainly going to have a historic race: two white males from a vague “ethnicity” known as Judaism representing what - 1.5% of the American populace? - arguing with each other over who can stomp out the distasteful, evil American nation most effectively.]


If a black sometime Muslim is acceptable in the White House, I think a white Jew will have few issues. Religious prejudice is a Democratic issue only when a candidate doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Remember - it’s not the votes of Christian right-wingers that help Democrats win the White House.

In the article provided in that thread there was one woman at a NC campaign stop who showed up at the event who was undecided, but after filling up on the tasty bbq Doomberg had catered in the same woman said she was going to support him. Yeah, the RATs can be bought fairly cheap, and Doomberg has the dough!

They are not campaigning for Bloomberg. They want Republicans to take him seriously and get ready for a tough bare knuckles fight if Bloomberg wins the nomination.
Will he win the nomination? Right now Bernie has much better chances. But that could change.

The problem for him is that he shielded himself from the campaign up until now. Running nothing but bland and message-less ads about any old random thing.

A candidate needs practice on the stump, and stage, for months before ever being at this point. Just how the hell is he expected to preform after not only not being in the fight, but also that ill-informed shot at Sanders + a mountain of statements that would make him a big no to most leftists?

“First of all, it shows that he will be able to outspend Trump in a general election”

Hillary didn’t lose due to lack of money..in fact she spent more than Trump.
So, spend away!

Just as a reminder on Mike Bloomberg...

1. Build It Back program... 90% of applicants got zero aid. It all went to the big names (cronyism), and also seemed to lose hundreds of millions of unaccounted dollars.
2. CityTime program... $80m "just slipped through the cracks" (his own words)
3. Bermuda scandal... he vacationed there while NYC dug out from a particularly bad winter storm.
4. Term Limits... he decided that he was too important to the city during a tough financial period, and so he "persuaded" the City Council to repeal them. NYC voters immediately restored them, but Bloomberg still got to stay in power. (And the Lefties ask if Trump will step down if he loses in NOV. Ahem.)
5. Stop and Frisk program... called racist from the very beginning, and he has both defended and apologized for it in recent weeks.
6. Cathleen Black... a magazine mogul he appointed to lead the largest school system in America. She had zero education or experience in the field. She lasted 96 days. Cronyism is not a word that the Left likes to hear.
7. Elitism... he has denigrated farmers and teachers unions and blacks and women and civil libertarians in past comments revealed in just the past 2 weeks.
8. and worst of all, Mike Bloomberg has never been in office as a Democrat. He was a Republican while he was Mayor of NYC!!! Nothing is more unforgivable to the Left than that!!!

So the party that has RAILED against billionaires buying this nation are going to sell their nomination to someone willing to buy it?

Makes perfect sense....

9. He is another undiplomatic old rich white NYC Republican who is “buying his way into the nomination”, which is supposed to be what they are running against.

Well, thanks to the moronic notion of eternally labelling those people that way, and continually pushing them into that corner, it sure as hell doesn't make it easy for any of them to come back to the fold... and there is no shortage of folks, even on FR, who are eager and ready to attack anyone the moment they do try to reach out. Only Jesus need apply for this "big tent".

The Republic was over on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when both parties swore in a man who was not a natural born citizen.

Rumor around DC is that he will ask Mayor Bowser, a black, still-in-the-closet lesbian, to be his running mate. She’s actually not a bad mayor, by the low-bar standards of DC mayors, and is far more reasonable than most Dim presidential candidates, but even she is shy about giving up what she calls “the best job in Washington.”

Undoubtedly a spectacle never before contemplated by the Americans...which neither of them are.

TIL, Jews aren't Americans. /s It is always interesting when the anti-Semites crawl out from under their rocks.
