Bloomberg buffeted by recording of him discussing crime, minorities

I think Bloomberg is broadcasting an excellent vision in his ad campaign. It's not about not wanting Bernie to be elected. It's about not wanting him to be nominated because that's who 45 wants to run against as it will be so easy to run "Venezuela" ads 24/7 against him and cream him.

 

Rebuild America is a vision? Is that all he's got?

LOL

Most Americans have seen Trump build it into something that's actually

working for them instead of some foreign country.

Trump will destroy this weak manifesto.

Sure thing, dude. Your hubris and bravado doesn't fool me for a second. Both 45 and his cult of personality followers surely know that Bloomberg is a massive threat to their dark dream of a maga/kag 2nd term. In other words, your vacuous 45 jingoism falls flat.

Bloomberg buffeted...

 

As a sidebar, it's worth pointing out the the use of the verb when referring to a 

candidate running against Trump.

 

Buffeted...a word few, if any, working class people know. Meaning: to knock someone off course.

 

If Trump was the offender here it would be Trump EXPOSED/REVILED/ROCKED/

You're surely exaggerating but what I find truly hilarious is that the 45 cult of personality follows along with 45 on his constant claims of being a victim. He's no victim. He's a victimizer.

Im not exaggerating...lefty media is extremely insidious with their use of words.

We've all seen how they give Trump a decent headline once in a while....then the 

lefty clowns start tweeting angry hashtags and they'll change to a more biased

anti trump-ish headline.

 

you guys fool no one.

These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes).  The reporting is factual and usually sourced.  These are the most credible media sources.

Your comment makes no sense if in fact you have a clue as to who you are talking about.

 

 Snowflake as a politicized insult is typically used by those on the political right to insult those on the political left. 

 

You do realize Bloomberg is a liberal?

No Bloomberg is a progressive Conservative, fiscally conservative but socially progressive. He is of the generation that had many Republicans similar to him;

- Moderate on social issues leaning to a respect for individual reproductive rights

- A believer in fair play without reliance on red tape regulations to encourage it, but a supporter of law and order to ensure that people have a chance

- Responsible fiscal management favouring balanced budgets and borrowing only for projects that have an overall  benefit, like infrastructure

 

The  Republicans were taken over by extremists who bullied and forced out moderates. Very similar to what  some have been trying to do to the Democrat party.

Rumors going around of Bloomberg closing Clinton as his running mate for VP. What a horrible thought. 

[bendejo]

I grew up in NYC, and in my youth I was stopped and patted down by cops for merely walking down the street, can't say how many times.  And this was 1960s-70s.  So it was not something new Bloomy introduced, he just encouraged it.

So excuse me for not considering it a race problem.  Yeah, I'm a progressive, but this victimization stuff really rankles my ___

How about facts? If most crimes are committed by certain groups of people then it makes sense to concentrate on those people. Or not?

Obviously if 90% of i.e. drug dealers are black that does not mean whites should be ignored.

And that works in any direction. If. i.e. white collar crime is committed mostly by white people with white collar then concentrate for those crimes on those people.

 

The problem is if politicians want to win they feel like they have to make statements which their possible voters like. Life would be so much easier if they would just talk straight. But I guess that is something from the past.

 

And this is obviously not only about Bloomberg. It seems most politicians from most parties act like this.

Hmmm. Not 100% sure. However, if you look back in the near history the last 10-15 years, it surely od look like I am not far from the truth. 

Delusion personified.

Insider has this great article about a book that Bloomberg's employees allegedly made him containing all of his most offensive quotes - "The Portable Bloomberg: The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg". Apparently it's untrue, but if he said just half the things in this book, all I can say is I can't wait to see a Trump/Bloomberg debate - sh£t gonna get real.

I agree the best trump has come up with is an elementary school level joke about hight and let’s see mike built an 80billion dollar company from nothing versus a bankrupt spoiled silver spoon man baby I agree the debate will be great but I don’t think trump will do it he knows he will get wipped

Bloomberg bought off the city council to get a third term, bought off Sharpton and his race baiting mafia and bought off several other progressive activists organizations to have a smooth term. 

 

He will do the same thing for the presidential nomination as we all know leftists and progressives are easily bought off.

It would be great for Hillary.  If they lose, she can blame the man (Bloomberg) as she usually does, and if they win, Bloomberg resigns the day after he is inaugurated thus making Clinton president.  Or he could end up dead, his choice. ????

If you think adding the most hated woman in the USA to an already dubious choice such as Bloomberg makes us panic you are mistaken. That ticket has no chance whatsoever of winning the battleground states. 

 

Remember how well Clinton did there last time? This would be political suicide for Bloomberg.

Just saying what the news was saying. Evidently the source that claims this has a high rate of calling things in the past. I did say it was a rumor so you can digest it however you want to.

Was simply amused by the prospect of it. Don't read too much into it. The real issue is the dems can't take the battleground states and that hasn't changed. Everything else at this point is just a circus carnival.

 

No matter who you nominate you don't have a path to the Whitehouse. Please explain to me how the dems take the Whitehouse without the rust belt. 

[Cryingdick]

Anyway if we can be serious for a moment. Please do explain how Bloomberg is going to go to MI, OH, PA, and win? He is an evironmentalist first and foremost. The fracking industry is a major player in Ohio and Pennsylvania. You pretty much need both states.

 

Michigan and Wisconsin aren't must wins but PA and OH are.

Exactly. He had already signalled that he might not agree to any debates. His sick excuse is they are fixed by the "enemy of the people" press. He has the right to not participate of course but the public has the right to such cowardice for what it is.
