The truth is Warren is a serious candidate because the base actually is tired of billionaires running the country into the ground and continuing to suck dry the middle class. That resentment is real and it’s incredibly narrow minded and frankly narcissistic for someone like Bloomberg to not see it.

When the "base" gets tired of billionaires, they will stop purchasing Google, Apple and Amazon products. Everything points to the opposite ... the 'base' is very happy with billionaires.

Its the trillionaires that the 'base' is getting tired of. Our two trillionaires includes the corruption in government and the medical cartel.

Lol.

I thought about that. Bloomberg's billionaire friends are probably pushing him to run. The wealth tax scares the hell out of them. They are freaking out on tv.

My ultra liberal wife has said she'll have to vote for Bloomberg if he decided to enter the presidential race. It's partly due to his generosity towards Johns Hopkins that my two sons are attending tuition-free.

It's payback, biatches!

Send him an email and say you will vote for him if he throws in grad school tuition for the sons and free medical care for the family.

By this logic, anyone who drinks water out of the tap or drives on a public roadway loves big gubmint.

Great examples! Im in Florida. The tap water is rated 3rd worse in the country. The state had to double the acceptable chlorine levels. And Florida has 6 of the top 10 deadliest roads in the country.

Government is doing great here with those two examples. Keep them coming.

I'm not in agreement with it. With the current political climate, I'm pretty sure the uber rich wouldn't mind a surcharge tax on income.

Don't let Trump get to you, man. Don't be an *******.

boy, I just don't see it. If he enters the race and goes to war with Warren, this is just going to be another case of the Democrats eating their own.

You actually don't see anybody defeating Trump which is why nobody takes you serious.

It would make much more sense for these NY Wall Street billionaires who are worried about Biden and Warren at the top to just put their financial backing behind someone already in the race like Corey Booker or Amy Klo.

The truth is Warren is a serious candidate because the base actually is tired of billionaires running the country into the ground and continuing to suck dry the middle class. That resentment is real and it’s incredibly narrow minded and frankly narcissistic for someone like Bloomberg to not see it.

Someone like Warren doesn’t rise to the level shes at now unless there is a real grassroots movement to shift the power back to the middle class. People are just really really pissed off at Wall Street and Silicon Valley billionaires. It’s unbelievable that someone like Bloomberg and frankly Steyer to not see that and actually do something productive about it.... like funding voting rights groups, etc.

I don’t think Bloomberg is really going to end up seriously running because someone somewhere has to tell him the truth that he has no chance with the serious animosity in the country at the moment aimed at people just like him... even though yes he’s a very smart guy, and is generally a good person with good executive leadership skills. He might actually be a good president but the times do not call for another billionaire president.

That's like your opinion man.

Michael Bloomberg Is The Answer To A Question Nobody Is Asking
Fiscally sound, gun- and soda-grabbing Michael Bloomberg is the presidential candidate nobody wants.
November 8, 2019
By David Marcus

Michael Bloomberg was a very good mayor of New York City. He might even get a bridge named after him. He took the reigns from Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in the history of cities, and kept Gotham on the right track. Without Michael Bloomberg, the Brooklyn Nets likely would not exist, and so for that alone I owe him gratitude. But let’s be real for a New York minute, the number of people who want Bloomy to be president of the United States can probably be counted on no hands.

Bloomberg is an effective manager. If he were your boss, you’d feel very comfortable about the future of your company and position, but you would also be vexed by the fact that the soda machine in your office only carried V8 and pomegranate juice. Bloomberg’s political style, which emerged and evolved over his three terms as mayor is basically, “I’m a billionaire, I dated Diana Ross, and I’m going to tell you what you can and cannot do.”

Michael Bloomberg was once a Republican. Following in the footsteps of Rudy Can’t Fail, he secured a third straight term of GOP leadership in Gotham. The city was hopping. It was like “Mad Men” and “Sex in the City” out on a hot date. He helped carry us past 9/11 into a mid 2000s of decadent debauchery and Brooklyn high-rises. And then he became an independent. An independent.

Now Mike wants to be a Democrat or maybe just team up with Justin Amash and do a national, “I’m morally superior to you” stadium tour. Bloomberg is the answer to a question nobody is asking. I get it, some mythical, nameless Democrat donors are queasy about Elizabeth Warren and her little red Medicare for all plan. Don’t be surprised if one of those donors is named Michael Bloomberg.

But let’s be frank. All the gold in Fort Knox could not get Michael Bloomberg elected president. There is a simple reason for this, the man’s entire raison d’etre is an anti-fun agenda that slowly sucks the joy out of life and replaces it with cogs turning wheels in the factory of progress. Nobody wants that. Running the country through the deflavorizing machine, as Woody Allen once put it, is not a winning message.

But one thing to know about Michael Bloomberg is that he isn’t dumb. He knows he’s more likely to be elected pope than president, but he knows what he’s doing. Now that gun-grabbing, pretty boy Beto is out of the race, there is nobody running in the repeal the Second Amendment lane. That’s where Mike comes in. Bloomberg 2020: Strong Fiscal Management and Gun Confiscation.

As I wrote back in 2016 when Trump was elected, New York City is now the center of federal power; D.C. is more like the lake house. But regardless of what Frank Sinatra says, making it here does not mean you can make it anywhere. Michael Bloomberg has a solid legacy, and he’s a better retail politician than most people outside New York would know. But he is completely ill-suited to the current political moment.

There may be some significant segment of the Democratic voting base that says, give me the safest hand at the rudder even if it constricts my freedom. But all the current candidates fit that bill. The Republican Michael Bloomberg of 2002 would be a compelling and potentially significant entry into the 2020 Democratic primary. The “Hey, I’m a Democrat!” Michael Bloomberg of 2019, not so much.

You kind of have to feel bad for the Democratic primary. It dutifully holds its town halls and debates, but the other network has the Game of Thrones impeachment inquiry that sucks up all the ratings. A very special episode with Michael Bloomberg isn’t going to change that.

The frustrating thing about Bloomberg is that he really is an effective leader and manager. He did some wonderful things in the Earth’s capital. But his Fran Drescher nanny routine has become his lock, stock, and trade. And no reasonable conservative or even moderate can trust him.

The American people are up for a fight. It’s the electoral equivalent of Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson at the top of “Gangs of New York.” Bloomberg’s wet blanket “lets be calm and calculated” shtick is the last thing anybody wants. Michael Bloomberg is a good and decent man, was a great mayor, an out-of-sight businessman, but that’s not what the people want right now. The people want fighters. Bloomberg is a nice guy, and as the saying goes, we know where they finish.

So let me get this straight he keeps saying Bloomberg is a great manager, smart guy and did a good job with NY but he tried to ban big gulps so he is no go.

Seems legit.

Rashmon · Nov 8, 2019

Someone in this thread seems os triggered by Bloomberg. This should be good news, isn't Bloomberg a moderate Democrat?

thegary · Nov 8, 2019

bloomberg is not inspirational and his positions are all over the place. however, he is super organized and super smart. he is a gifted manager and is probably the one person out there who might be able to get things done in this hyper partisan era. if you want "moderate", he is the one. not saying he is my first choice, but i don't hate the idea.

Ubiquitin · Nov 8, 2019

Little Bloomberg is getting under Trump's skin.

justtxyank · Nov 8, 2019

Trump hates Bloomberg.

Didn't know much about Bloomberg but the big gulp ban, everybody seems to be in consensus that he is a good to great manager and that's really all I want at this time.

Sign me up.

This.

Every candidate has issues. I'm looking for either the most competent or one that has ideas that will help the most people without farking up the system. For the record, we have made donations to multiple candidates. You got to let this thing play out.
