Bloomberg is angry. He thought he paid the DNC all those millions to WIN the debate. The DNC assumed it was just the late entry fee.

Now they are worried that he is going to want the money back, or he will run Third Party.

“HE GOT THAT 100% RIGHT!...Like as said....Bloomberg just wasn’t going to play in their sandox....”

Concur, Bloomberg did a fine job of letting the others show off their a$$es.

I don’t know about anybody else, but I was viewing a strategic/tactical demonstration hosted by Bloomberg.

Was there any traction gained? Hard to say, primarily because of that ‘ol “fog of info” and misinformation where the press dwells.

But Bloomberg didn’t get to where he is in life by being totally inept. He is a democrat adversary that so far, is poised to attack, if not by utter, than certainly through his deep state pockets. Watch him carefully. He is dangerous.

He came across as a totally repugnant individual———reeking of condescension and superiority......

Not one glimmer of humanity showed through his grinch-like demeanor.

a democratic socialist,

I watched a clip on MSNBC where the liberal gaggle was commenting on the Democrat primary.

A. B. Stoddard was on the panel.

For those unfamiliar, Stoddard is a veteran Washington D.C. reporter who has worked for ABC, The Hill, Fox, MSNBC, and others. She's liberal, but very pragmatic, and understands how Washington works - from the intricacies of the budget to legislation.

Stoddard told the panel that nominating a "Socialist" was going to devastate the Democrats, and that the party would not recover "for decades."

This infuriated another female panel member, and she "corrected" that Sanders is a "Democrat Socialist", to which Stoddard replied: "Whatever" and said it made no difference (word games).

This further infuriated the female panel member and other nut jobs on the panel.

Stoddard spoke the truth.

If Sanders wins the nomination (and it looks like he will), expect a 24/7 blitz for months from the media about how he isn't really a Socialist.

Trump will beat the Socialist angle like a drum.

The panic is almost palpable in this hacks verbiage, Great read.

The way things stand now, it looks as though the dems have managed to fu*k up a one car funeral.

If Sanders is getting the most votes doesn’t that mean he sort of “is” the “center” of their party?

Yes, that’s the punchline to this piece! If I was running the D party (heaven forfend!) I would have told Bernie and Mimi Mike to pound sand. One is a commie, the other a pig, but neither is a Democrat. Figure that. And, see tagline!

I always had the feeling my grandpa’s best day was when he could quit calling himself a farmer and moved into town.

The Big Mike strategy working to perfection!

But Bernie better hope he does not have another “heart attack” if he gets TOO strong!

“Not one glimmer of humanity showed through his grinch-like demeanor.”

Well said. He is vile. I’ve been bashing him all over FB, to the left and the right. I’ve really never done that with any other pol. But Bloomberg is just a whole new level of awful.

He actually made the rest of the group look like decent people. In truth, I’d vote for any of the others (even that smarmy fagella Mayor Pete) rather than Mini Mike.

“The core of the dilemma that Democrats face right now is that neither Bloomberg nor Sanders will have an easy time uniting the party if they win the nomination,” he said. “They’re not Democrats.”

This ignomy is precisely what the Democrats deserve by permitting their party to be taken over by Bubba, Cankles, and Bobo, the get-rich-quick hootaninny factions.

Basically if you're not a millionaire who went to an Ivy League school or an illegal peasant, the Democrats don't need you and don't want you.

"Bloomberg thought he was so smart he could just walk in and do it, you cannot."

Mikkee would have been well-served to have heeded Giuliani's '08 campaign where he skipped Iowa and barely contested New Hampshire to focus on Florida (where he finished 3rd).

There's something about being a former Mayor of New York and a bit of a bonehead when it comes to national political campaigns.
