Just gonna leave this right here.... I know people change in time but it's still nice to have a laugh. Also I imagine Bloomberg's laugh at the thought of him running at the end peeved the Donald a bit.
They are made up... and put out by Sanders operatives, but Bernie knows nothing about it and he should in no manner be held accountable for leaking the stories.....I’m kidding... sort of.
I was just curious, because I know some people who would be incredibly interested. $200/day to hang fliers? Sheiiiiittttttt. That beats the **** out of cutting ceders cedros.
Meanwhile Bernie's workers are complaining about the money they make for their communist revolution.lol Wouldn't shock me if they made it up in order to pressure Bernie into matching their dream salaries. Then it just backfired. Communists positioning for free **** and handouts would not surprise me.
You know why ? It's because they have no fear of losing their control on the entire process. They - The D's and R's - control the entire process from making up the rules of the process to the agenda after election. The only real difference between the two parties is the beneficiaries - who they sell legislation to. The middle class is just their finance department.
"A Tale of Two Mayors": https://thebulwark.com/a-tale-of-two-mayors/ excerpt: Last night, Mayor Pete made a painstaking and selfless decision to step away from the Democratic primary, despite having won the Iowa Caucus, despite his unfathomably groundbreaking campaign as the first credible openly gay presidential candidate, despite the fact that a number of contenders who had performed far worse than him at the ballot box are stubbornly pressing forward. And meanwhile, across the country Mayor Mike Bloomberg was spending another $1.5 million on a prime time infomercial in his vainglorious attempt to salvage some Super Tuesday delegates, despite having not yet having earned a single vote, despite face-planting in the debates, and despite running a campaign that was only groundbreaking in the sense of the spending levels from an individual candidate. The contrast between the probity of these two men’s actions and the political ramifications for each couldn’t be more stark. I want to end on the best of times, so let’s start with the worst. By which I mean Mike Bloomberg’s campaign. Two weeks ago I argued that, among other things, Bloomberg would “bristle and falter on the debate stage,” be a “poor political performer,” and was holding the race hostage to the detriment of viable candidates, such as Buttigieg and Joe Biden. Scoreboard. Yet, upon rereading it, my bearish assessment of the Bloomberg campaign actually doesn’t hold up as well as I’d hoped. Because even my sour assessment was exceedingly generous to an unequivocal disaster of a campaign that has become an active threat to the very objectives it claimed to have been premised on. The plummet began when Bloomberg’s campaign team—which up to that point had been executing a shrewd and unconventional strategy—made the most disastrous error of the cycle. They let people hear Mike Bloomberg speak. At the debate in Las Vegas, Mayor Mike failed every conceivable metric of candidate performance and proved utterly incapable of defending either (a) his career as a centrist plutocrat or (b) his personal foibles. Democratic voters noticed: South Carolina exit polls indicated only 26 percent of voters had a favorable opinion of him with 66 percent having an unfavorable opinion. Which means these Democrats now have a dimmer view of Mike Bloomberg they do George Walker Bush. But it’s worse than that. If Mayor Mike was just pulling a Tom Steyer and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to back his azz up into being a total non-factor, his campaign would only be a farce. Instead, it’s managing the rare double-dip of being a tragedy and a farce. Remember: The Bloomberg campaign initially was pitched as a sort of plan B security blanket to protect the Democrats from Bernie Sanders, should Joe Biden implode. In reality, it has become a significant asset for Sanders. Let’s look at the numbers. Bloomberg has spent $650 million of his own money but not ONE RED CENT has gone to targeting Sanders with a contrast message on the airwaves. For perspective, he could’ve dedicated just 10 percent of his budget to Sanders contrast ads and he would have outspent the entire Sanders campaign on TV. Meanwhile a poll out of Texas shows that his presence in the race single-handedly gives Sanders the opportunity to play spoiler in the biggest Super Tuesday state where Biden has a legitimate chance to win. Meanwhile, in California Bloomberg could keep Biden from hitting the 15 percent vote share in each congressional district that he needs to reach the delegate threshold—the RealClearPolitics polling average has Biden teetering on the brink of the 15 percent Mendoza line. This is exacerbated by the fact that Politico California reporter Carla Marinucci told me last week that Bloomberg’s team has been dedicating resources to “banking” votes early in California in order to blunt the bounce other candidates might get coming out of the early states. So Bloomberg is actively trying to baffle Biden’s momentum. more at the link
If I were a billionaire I'd spend $300 mil just to say I won presidential delegates too. That's more clout than owning an MLS team
Well the moderate lane is all clear for Biden, plus Bloomberg money. This is as good as it gets against Trump, I sure hope it all works out.
Credit where credit is due: he tried and is bailing out now before his presence becomes detrimental to the eventual nominee.
