Michael Bloomberg 2020 campaign megathread

[GeneralMacArthur]

1) That tweet doesn’t say anything about him actually releasing anybody from an NDA but even IF it did:
2) Now do the other 60+ who have NDAs.

To my understanding, these are the 3 NDAs that actually involve Bloomberg himself.

The other NDAs are between Man X and Woman Y, neither of whom is Bloomberg, and there is no reason to demand Bloomberg release either party from their mutually-consensual NDA.

Yep. This is a really politically stupid response by Bloomberg also, because it doesn't make the story go away, it just brings more attention to it (this lack of political astuteness simply shows why he would not make a good candidate). And then the question is very much about all the other NDAs even if 3 actually get released.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Also w.r.t. "he hasn't released him" an NDA is mutually-consensual, he can't unilaterally end the NDA.  The other party has to agree to it.  If one person could decide to end an NDA whenever they wanted that would defeat the purpose.

Imagine Mike buying Fox ($22 billion market cap)   

I just saw a Bloomberg ad which states that he's the "only one in the race never to have taken a penny from special interests." And I burst out laughing. The tenth-wealthiest person in the country doesn't need special interest money; he is a special interest (i.e. Everytown for Gun Safety).

[Progressive Pessimist]

I appreciate the trolling but you need more than to be an effective nominee against Trump. And Bloomberg just wouldn't be.

[Progressive Pessimist]

The fact that he has these at all should be disqualifying for him. He may be a rich New Yorker but he hasn't demonstrated the ability to get away with things the way the other "rich" "New Yorker" (now Floridian) does.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

This is probably confirmation that there isn't anything campaign-ending under those. We're talking "jackass boss", not "sexual predator". He made the call that keeping them hidden would do more damage to his campaign than releasing them, which is a pretty clear sign.

Sounds to me like he picked the three weakest cases out of the lot to "prove" that they're nothing-burgers

Why these other NDAs that don't involve Bloomberg, himself, should even be relevant is beyond me.  Other than to give the self-righteous fraud Liz Warren talking points to keep her afloat as she runs out of money.

The truth is that no matter what one thinks of Bloomberg, he is more competent and more able to actually BE President than any other Democrat right now.  The comparison of Bloomberg versus Mayor Pete, Liz Warren, Amy Klobuchar, or even Joe Biden is kind of ridiculous.  He's not warm and fuzzy, and he's not humorous.  He's super serious and kind of driven.  But he's COMPETANT, and he's liberal enough to run as a Democrat. 

Bloomberg had an awful debate performance, but he made it through the night.  The Democrats, if they are serious about winning, need to deal with the fact that none of these other candidates generate any enthusiasm.  Bloomberg doesn't do much in that score, either, but he has a track record and money upon money.  The Democrats are on the verge of blowing an election they should be winning.  Bloomberg provides a strategy to resolve this.

I'd say it might be relevant if there was a relavent statistic that these ndas happen at a higher rate than other financial companies.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Mike has such an abhorrent history. I could never bring myself to vote for him in the primary.

The candidate he tried to make himself out to be through his ads would have been a good anti-Bernie option but nah. IDK what to do next month.

Biden is the only serious opposition to Bernie, specifically in Georgia. With that being said, I do not really see Bernie losing at this point anyway.

Hehe, pre-debate I almost became convinced by Bloomberg's ads too. I see tons of them every day, but they're all a bunch of bulls***. I can definitely call them well-made though for having that effect.

Bloomberg may be burning, but can he take Sanders down with him? What if he spammed the airwaves with anti-Sanders ads? Could you see him doing this?

[We Live in Black and White]

Not when everyone else in the Democratic field is annihilating his credibility.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

If that’s really how this went, you can bet your ass myself and hundreds of thousands / millions of other Bernie supporters who would be #BlueNoMatterWho in most cases would be taking our asses to a third party or sitting this election out.

Bernie is winning fair and square — deal with it, if this corrupt AF party wants to cheat him out of the nomination, I’d rather burn it all down and start over. No apologies.

There you have it. A Sanders supporter voices the real reason why they support the democratic socialist. The whole "we're taking the fight to Trump" was always baloney.

I voted for and supported Hillary in 2016. It was a contentious primary, but I thought she won (mostly) fair and square. If another candidate besides Sanders comes out of this process fair and square, I’ll support them. If the Democratic Party, or moderates, or the “establishment” or whatever tries to rig this race with a billionaires money, or superdelegates, or any other shenanigans that will have confirmed all my (our) worst fears about the Democratic machine being no less corrupt than the Republican machine, in which case yes, burn it all the hell down.

[Shadows]

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.

I wasn't asking how you would react. I was asking if anyone thinks that Bloomberg is considering that as a possibility.
