I don't pay close attention to where they stand. As a Independent I can't  vote in primaries and NYC will decide the general election. I would be more interested on which party has the majority in the House and Senate after the Nov election. If the economy stays good I don't see how Trump could lose.

So God Made A Bloomberg

by Sean Davis

 

 

And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a tiny, soulless technocrat to tell everyone else how to live their lives.

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

God said, “I need a know-it-all Wall Street banker who made more money by getting fired than most men will make their entire lives working an honest job.”

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

 

“I need somebody with hands strong enough to carry a stool and a booster seat wherever he goes, but gentle enough to sign the voter registration papers as a Democrat, and then a Republican, and then an independent, and then a Democrat again. “Somebody who would tell a female employee to kill her own baby so she could work longer hours, a grieving family that it’s a waste to give medical care to old people, or a farmer that growing food is easy and any idiot with half a brain could manage it. Someone who could tell a mother that parenting was as simple as hiring ‘some black who doesn’t even have to speak English’ to raise her dumb kid.”

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

God said, “I need somebody willing to randomly accost black men for no good reason other than having the wrong color skin. I need somebody who will say that the best way to reduce crime is to target black kids and ‘throw them up against the walls and frisk them’ for the crime of being black. Someone who will brag that one side effect of putting ‘all the cops in the minority neighborhoods’ is that you end up ‘arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.’”

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

“I need somebody willing to tell those awful poors that they need to be disproportionately taxed for their own good because they’re too stupid to know what’s good for them. Somebody who will ban the sale of 32 oz. fountain drinks, but not the sale of two 16 oz. sodas, because everyone knows sugary syrup from a single cup is way worse for you than sugary syrup from two smaller cups, plus it’s not like Fatty Boombalatty over there has the self-control to put down the Big Gulp himself.”

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

God had to have somebody willing to forcibly remove black guns from black hands because, “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything.” Somebody who thought the best way to reduce crime was to take the description of “male, minority, 16 to 25” and “Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops.”

So God made a Bloomberg.

 

God said, “I need somebody with no charm, no charisma, and no compelling reason to ever serve in government to nonetheless buy his way onto the ballot, then buy his way into the mayor’s office, then buy off the city council to eliminate the two-term limit on mayoral service. And then I need him to spend nine figures buying his way into the Democrat primary, because there would be nothing more hilarious than watching a broken down old socialist get robbed, again, by yet another New York crony who is the life-size poster child for everything that’s wrong with modern capitalism.”

So God made a Bloomberg.

BLOOMBERG ISN’T BEATEN:

The truth is, Bloomberg is in the Democratic nomination race for as long as he wants to be. The longer he stays in the race, the greater the amount of money he’ll spread around. The more he spends, the more the party managers and the senators and the governors and, though they’re far too high-minded to admit it, the media will come to see his candidacy as a fact that’s going to go the distance, and a reality to which the smart money should accommodate itself in case Bloomberg’s candidacy becomes a payday.

 

Bloomberg understands the lessons of 2016 because, like Donald Trump, he understood them long before and was prepared to act accordingly. Trump and Bloomberg know what the rest of the Democratic field know but, with the exception of Bernie Sanders, lack the integrity to say. The politicians of America are for sale to their highest donor.

 

That’s from Dominic Green at Spectator USA. 

 

And William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection agrees: “I’m not in agreement that he is done as a candidate, assuming he’s still willing to spend an additional half-billion dollars on advertising, paying social media ‘influencers’ to hype him, and buying up Democrat policitians and media. Some multiple of the number of people who saw the debate will see his advertisements, and most important, Bloomberg isn’t on a ballot until Super Tuesday. Between now and then, one or more candidates will be damaged by low showings in Nevada and South Carolina.”

It dawned on me last night that history may well judge Bloomberg to be the next Edsel.

 

Marketing made everyone want an Edsel.

 

The Edsel made everyone not buy it.

 

Why? Because when the marketing was done and the car was introduced for everyone to see, it turned out it was not the car of the future. It was just another car. Not much different than all the other cars it was up against.

Here’s a radical idea: The person with the most votes should be the Democratic nominee. #DemDebate

Only 1 out of all the candidates to say this but he is the one who is against democracy... :rolleyes:

there is nothing that controls how a certain political party governs it's own. hell, they could draws straws at the convention if the DNC says that's the way it is and there would be nothing that the candidates could do. of course something so blatant would more than likely cause the demise of said party. as such, they will not be so obvious and manage to dress it up somewhat.

He should stay away from the phrase “radical idea”.
