Do you think an increasingly work socialist Dem voter base is really going to go for an ex-Republican Wall Street billionaire? I don’t.

I agree. He ain't going to win over the vote base. But what if he doesn't need to? Maybe all he needs is a brokered convention. What if he gets to a brokered convention and literally starts buying off delegates? There are no rules to stop him making 1,000 delegates instant recipients of large cash gifts. Not saying he will do it, but he could do it.

He can and is, even as we speak, buying talking heads from the MSM, DNC functionaries and democrat politicians.

He will win if no one on the Left objects. I don’t see that happening. The most vocal will be bought off, and the rest will be ignored by paid media shills.

I think he’ll be the nominee even if he doesn’t win a single primary/caucus.

One of Bloomberg’s odd political abilities is to tell voters things that they don’t want to hear without turning them off

Huh?

If this f*cker wins it’s the end of our republic

Bloomberg Derangement Syndrome? The USA has survived far worse. Of all the central planning tyrants running, Bloomberg would likely do the least damage.

Watch for a VP from a State the Dems will need to win. Blue State pols bring nothing to the table. He needs Florida, PA, Michigan, Wisconsin or Texas. I look for a VP candidate that may deliver their state. Even a VP from Texas could force Trump to spend more money and time there hurting him in battleground states. Trump can ignore California, DC et. al. they are already in the bank for the demo rats.

Bloomberg will not play as well in the South and in the midwest. His support of anti-gun measures plays well in Illinois and New York but not as well in PA or in Wisconsin. His support of radical issue groups like Planned Parenthood and pro-illegal alien groups doesn’t bother NYC voters but nationally it hurts him. Especially after what happened recently in VA and his support of the democrat takeover. I am not sure he will do as well as people think on super Tuesday. We will see.

Bloomberg's obvious Achilles heal is that he is a real life "Mary Poppins" without the ability to levitate via an umbrella. What distinguishes him from other totalitarians is the obsession with imposing "Nanny State" behavioral values on the rest of us. We should focus on his lack of proportional judgment by referring to him as a "Mary Poppins" without the "teaspoon of sugar."

Try it.

I am concerned about Mini Mike because the media will make him out to be a reasonable moderate no matter what positions he takes. That will draw good poll numbers with people who are exhausted by all the drama of the last three years.

BUT. Berniebots will absolutely not vote for him. Other leftie Dems will be left unexcited by him. He will have a hard time turning out the black vote that Dems have to have to win. Hussein got it but Hillary didn't and neither will Mini.

OTOH, The unconstitutional, naked political impeachment has created broken glass Trump voters who are, as an old friend used to say, pissed off beyond the maximum degree of pissifissity.

It's a good thing that we remain concerned and anxious, it will motivate people to get to the polls.

The little guy is on my radio and TV constantly. The TV ads put in bold that he is a Democrat. He is such a fake and phony.

I wonder if Obama remembers he said basically once you have a certain amount of wealth you don’t deserve to have more. Is he is willing to ask Bloomberg if he thinks 64 billion is enough wealth?

Saw that ad today in Upstate New York - looked like an Omaba endorsement ad.

I think almost everyone either LOVES or HATES Trump.

Those who hate will turn out for the dem even if he’s far from their idea candidate.

I could be Very wrong.

It’s just a guess :)

“Jews aren’t Americans”

Oddly I’d put quite a few under the category of Americans, including the folks in my family of that ethnicity.

But not either of these two guys, who are clearly just doin’ time in the Imperial Nation until a better deal comes along.

And if you’d like to gush about what a Wonderful, True Blue Died in the Wool ‘Merican a guy like Bernard Sanders is, maybe you could relate to me his history of noble self sacrfice in service to the American nation, his unwavering commitment to its originators and their ideals, and his unrelenting love for the whole of The People who go back 10 and 15 generations and have nowhere else on the planet to call home, and haven’t for centuries.

Or perhaps you could see the similarities between a guy like him and Genrikh Yagoda, or Lev Bronstein, or even their spiritual heir Mr. Marx of the Imperial Library.

Tell me straight that it’s all a Blood Libel!, and there’s no such connection between Mr. Soft Commie (it won’t hurt when we bayonet you! Really!) and the wonderful figures who emerged from under the rocks (see? two can play that game!) in Revolutionary Russia.

As for the other guy, he’s merely an amoral Globalist, his home is wherever his Gulfstream is parked. If he gets a commercial opportunity to mess with a big organization like the United States, he’s cool with that - think of the long term opportunities!

But oddly I don’t recall hearing about how Mike was so enamored of the United States and it’s war on International Communism that he used his Electrical Engineering degree in 1964 to get a commission in say, the USAF and then put in a couple of years to advance the effort in Vietnam, which of course was getting started bout that time.

But he was cool mining the country to become one of the richest men in history, right? Ask not what your country can do for...oh, never mind.

So I’m gonna stick to my assessment of both of them: they’re AINOs, American in Name Only. Times get tough, both are gone the next morning to distant and more attractive shores. The geographical accident of their birthplace is just that.

I was raised Jewish in a totally Jewish community.

There are reasons why there are stereotypes about Jews (and I have tried in my life to avoid the obvious pitfalls—not always easy).

I was raised to believe I was better (smarter, more talented, less easily fooled, more skilled at business) than those “other people”.

I was raised to believe “they” could be easily conned, and there was nothing wrong with conning “them”.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

The arrogance of the leftists today strongly reflects (and was significantly influenced by) the negative aspects of the culture that I was raised in—but I was a rebellious sort and questioned everything.

Both Bernie and Bloomberg reflect those “Jewish values” I am discussing.

They honor being clever over hard work, and do not respect folks who work hard and play by the rules.

It would be a major disaster if either of them became President.
