“Trump, an expert at ad-libbing cruelties and generating free media in amounts exceeding even what Bloomberg can buy.”

It's revealing that the MSM counts their relentless attacks, and negative propaganda against Trump as “free media”.

Taibbi is a hard-core leftist who stood out in recent years by being a harsh critic of the incessant anti-Russian clamor of the Democratic Party. Turns out he had lived in Russia for several years a while back, and he recognized how pointless and destructive all that bullsh!t was.

I’m actually hoping Bernie beats Bloomberg just so the scumbag RINO Never-Trumpers won’t have anyone to vote for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another good reason to vote for Bernie in the primary.

Bernie can destroy the Democratic Party for a generation—whether he gets the nomination or not!

But—he must win the plurality of delegates to get this done.

So—a cross-over vote for Bernie hurts the Democrats really really badly.

The Democrats have earned this.

It is Democrat Socialist wing vrs Democrat Fascist wing. Bernie wants the Govt to run everything. Mini Mike will let you keep your property but then use the Government to tell you everything you can, and cannot, do with it.

By golly, you're right.

A Bloomy comeback to Warren.
Financial assessment of false 'Native American' she has enjoyed for all these years.

"Taibbi is a hard-core leftist who..."

...who isn't crazy.

Plus he has a scorched earth writing style not unlike Mark Stein.

I get the impression the author is a Bernie Bro. There is definitely no love lost for Bloomberg! He is also incredibly biased towards our very fine and successful President. After reading this, I’m going to go take a shower now...

“just imagine when Trump offers him a box to stand on”

what’s amazing is that Trump mentions mini-mike needing a box to stand on a single time, and it becomes an instant international meme featured in hundreds of cartoons and articles, both on the right AND the left! Our man Donald has got to be the biggest digital brander and digital troll in history!

the hilarious thing about this article and many like them, is that MOST of the attacks on Bloomberg are for simply telling the raw naked truth about sacred leftist PC cows that are supposed to be unmentionable, the exact same thing the fascist leftist speech police abhor in Donald Trump ...

But unlike Donald Trump who doesn’t give a rats ass about the fascist leftist speech police other than to go on the offensive like an enraged Rottweiler and try to destroy them, mini-mike cringes, apologizes or simply remains stunned and speechless like any “good” Republican normally would ... apparently mini-mike was a GOPe/RINO Republican for such a long time before he was a Democrat that he permanently damaged himself ...

We went through EXACTLY this same thing on our side in 2016 Trump the Populist against GOP globalists, I remember all of us worried about the delegates Trump brought Manafort in to take care of the problem with delegates I thank the good lord everyday for Manafort!! NOW we have the Socialist Dems against the Dem leftists, talking about backroom deals with delegates!! NO WAY can Bloomberg win the General NO WAY I don’t care how much money this ASSHAT has!!! The Dems are dreaming, they just need to give the nomination to Bernie he will lose and they can be done with him!! The problem the Dems have is they have been indoctrinating the kids for DECADES now what the HELL do they expect the outcome to be they ARE NOW a socialist party and THEY have created it!! They now need to lie in the bed with all of their bedbugs!!!

“Taibbi rooting for his guy, Sanders, whom he considers too right-wing.”

And gratuitously throws in the f-bomb to show how cool and edgy he is to impress his fellow lefty twits.

Rolling Stone has had some decent political articles lately.

Who would have thought?
