Michael Bloomberg 2020 campaign megathread

Bloomberg with 6% in the new poll. I think with his incredible spending he has a real chance of buying the election. Since he won't compete in the early states, he probably won't get a majority but maybe he can buy Superdelegates in a brokered convention.

Not surprising. Trump is a better person than Bloomberg & is more liberal on issues on a personal level. Bloomberg is an oligarch who hates poor people & is racist to his bone.

Most Dem voters would stay home if this guy gets nominated. Bloomberg will get destroyed in the Industrial Midwest. As bad as Biden or Pete is, they are way better than Bloomberg. Can't wait to see Trump call out the Dems for nominating a racist.

Sekiko Sakai Garrison, a former sales representative at Bloomberg LP, alleged in a 1997 lawsuit (one of four separate lawsuits in a two-year period) that when then-CEO Mike Bloomberg found out she was pregnant, he told her, “Kill it!” and “Great! Number 16!”—an apparent reference to the number of pregnant women or women on maternity leave at his company. She also alleged that when Bloomberg saw her engagement ring, he commented, “What is the guy dumb and blind? What the hell is he marrying you for?” and that he once pointed to another female employee and told Garrison, “If you looked like that, I’d do you in a second.” Bloomberg denied having said most of those things, but reportedly left Garrison a voicemail saying that if he did say them, he “didn’t mean it.”

Bloomberg once described his life as a single billionaire bachelor in New York City to a reporter as being a “wet dream.” "I like theater, dining and chasing women," he said. On a radio show in 2003, he said that he would “really want to have” Jennifer Lopez, which he later explained away as wanting to “have dinner” with her. A top aide said Bloomberg frequently remarked “nice tits” upon seeing attractive women. Employees of his in 1990 put together an entire booklet of his some of his more egregious comments, including, "If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they'd go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale's,” and, of the computer terminal that made him a billionaire, “It will do everything, including give you [oral sex]. I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business."

More recently, Bloomberg defended his longtime close pal Charlie Rose, who was fired from CBS and PBS in 2017 after multiple women alleged that he made unwanted sexual advances on his female colleagues and subordinates. "The stuff I read about is disgraceful—I don't know how true all of it is," Bloomberg told the New York Times. “I never saw anything and we have no record, we've checked very carefully.” Rose, coincidentally, had once described his constant banter with Bloomberg about women in the office (which they shared in the 90s) as “a locker room thing”—the same defense Trump used to excuse his having boasted about “grabbing” women “by the pussy.”

These people are mental...

Keep in mind, these people would rather have a runaway Greenhouse Effect following another 4 years of Donald Trump than elect a Democrat who's name is not "Bernard Sanders"

Bloomberg is probably worse than Trump, more racist, more sexist & more of an oligarch. He treats women like scum.

If Trump was running on a D Ticket & was surrounded by Democratic politicians, he will 100% better than Bloomberg, far more liberal. Bloomberg, a racist & a sexist buying the nomination probably should be followed by a Trump 2nd Term, filling the Court with conservative judges so that Democrats don't even think of nominating a racist, sexist, evil oligarch.

Bloomberg has been sued by 40 women in 64 cases of sexual harassment. If that is who Democrats want to nominate, then they deserved to die as a party.

That video about African American & Latino youth was horrible but no-one cares about Bloomberg being an outright racist only because he is a Democrat.

Pete is already running negative ads so I don't think it will matter. Bloomberg will run negative ads against Sanders but only after moderates drop out. Right now 2 of Klobuchar, Pete & Biden have to drop out. I think Klobuchar drops out after SC or after ST. Biden if he loses SC, he has to drop out. Pete has to drop out after ST, if Bernie/Biden/Bloomberg are Top 3 & if Biden wins SC.

Let the field clear itself. Warren will also drop out after ST. You will then see Bloomberg running 100s of Millions of $ of Negative ads against Bernie & Pete/Biden/Whoever is left.

Go bloomy. Spend another 500M & show Biden that you are the real corrupt moderate who can get things done.

BTW Bloomberg & Biden now have an ongoing Twitter feud about who wants to cut Social Security more. Biden Team is blasting  Bloomberg for calling SS a Ponzi scheme while Bloomberg team is referencing to Biden's past support for SS cuts.

This man is easily the most malicious presence within the Democratic primary. Openly seeking a contested convention, even though it dramatically undermines party unity, for the sake of stroking a delusion that Democrats would be eager to rally behind a billionaire oligarch who possesses all of Trump's flaws and has spent most of his life as a Republican. Good thing the establishment seems to be rallying behind Biden now that the other "moderate" lane alternatives have dropped out. Say what you will about him, but at least Biden isn't an out-of-touch, vainglorious billionaire who thinks he can buy his way to the presidency off of his immense fortune, on top of actually being a Democrat.

F**k Bloomberg, he is absolutely cancerous.

The same could be said of Biden. He is also a bought & paid politician funded by lobbyists & Super-pac dark money. He also wants a contested convention. Biden is also totally out of touch & possess many of Trump's flaws like a long history of trying to cut Social Security, working for the big banks but also has Hillary's fatal flaws like NAFTA & Iraq War which make him unelectable in the Mid-west vs Trump.

Biden's only way forward is a contested convention which will undermine party unity otherwise he would have dropped out & endorsed Sanders.
