Besides being a racist sexist piece of garbage, a bloomberg nomination would be devastating for the future of the democratic party so it cannot happen.

Well, he won't get the black vote, he'll have a tough time with the women's vote, and now, he'll have a tough time with the farmer's vote.

I actually thank him for running in that he is assisting my preferred candidate. If I were Joe Biden's people, however, I think I'd want him shot into the sun.

I'm not defending it, I'm just pointing out that posting about Bloomberg and Toomy ever few posts is pointless. I cannot see Bloomberg being the nominee.

For being a racist, Bloomberg sure does seem to have a bunch of African American mayors supporting/endorsing him.

Women love my buddy even though he's a prick to most women. It's not really a justification for his policies/actions.

Check out this guy trying to take credit for what Trump has accomplished:

@BarackObama
Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.

There is talking point #1.

It should be the dem goal to make sure every single voter knows that fact. Attack donald at his strength. The GOP has been doing that for years.

In fact, let's swiftboat him. Economy is his strength. Let's assemble old business partners who can give concrete examples of Trump being a moron in a business venture. There must be thousands of examples at this point. Point out it was Obama who started this economy and show that graph everywhere that proves that Donald has done nothing to help the economy. Give the examples of when he's hurt it with tariffs that we then had to do use taxpayer money to fund groups that were hit with the fallout. His bankruptcies and what led to them should also be out there more than it is.

So there was apparently a lot of russian money going into NYC. I hope they don't have any kompromat on Bloomsburg because he could easily win this for Trump just by keeping one foot in this race through November.

with four moderate Democrats crossing the aisle to join their Republican colleagues in Virginia, the gun measures are defeated. AR-15 will still be for sale so come on down and get yours today.

Ideal scenario is Bloomberg financing a Klobuchar/Booker ticket.

Yes but the most hilarious scenario is Bloomberg financing a Sanders/Warren ticket.

he has previously committed to "financing" whomever the D nominee is, so....

I quote that because obviously campaign finance rules prevent that, but he said he will keep his campaign staff working for the candidate in an un-sanctioned capacity.

If a reporter asked Booker a question about being financially backed by a racist while Klobuchar is present, would she throw a stapler or would she not since the reporter doesn’t work for her?

are you mike bloomberg because if not then i'm not sure what you're doing here.

The guy says ending redlining was responsible for the housing crisis. He expanded stop and frisk and kept it a key policing policy for far too long. He has had dozens of sexual harassment lawsuits and his company seemed to foster a culture of sexual harassment at the highest level.

imagine getting on a message board and thinking 'man now these guys have gone too far with their attacks on *checks notes* a democratic/republican flip flopping billionaire. someone's gotta step in and defend mike bloomberg!'

i'm not searching for the redlining/stop and frisk receipts because they're common knowledge by now.
