Who cares for the struggles of the working class. They're doing it for themselves. And there's a host of other billionaire that must be saying 'if Trump can do it so can i'. Im more surprised that the democrats and republicans have given away so much political power to the wealthy newbies. I bet the political party's change the rules and get private money outta the election process, instead allocating equal amounts of public money to fight elections. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee Posted November 10, 2019 #54 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Well he has thrown his hat into the ring by the looks of it.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg "Bloomberg officially entered the race on November 8 by filing to insert his name on the Alabama Democratic primary ballot and announced that he will make a decision about a formal campaign launch on November 11 at earliest." Did you get the memo about starting to promote him as President @Captain Risky..... Reading through that Wikipedia entry makes you feel dizzy... he's involved in so many things and although I want to keep an open mind at this stage - he's looking every inch the Council on Foreign Relations Globalist Candidate.. He ticks all the Globalist boxes when it comes to immigration, climate change, gun control, social issues etc... I'm getting the feeling if he does lauch his campaign tomorrow he will eventually become the Democrat Candidate and he will be a big threat to Trump getting a 2nd term.. I think the Globalists have wheeled out their secret weapon (previously secret... I expect they've been planning it for a while now to field someone that has a chance against Trump...) Along the lines of.... why bother with Puppets... when one of the Puppet Masters can stand.....? He will be a worthy opponent for Trump to get his teeth into....... a battle of the Titans for the soul of America... wonder what nickname Trump will give him....

Unusual Tournament Posted November 10, 2019 Author #55 Share Posted November 10, 2019 @bee I don’t think Trump will be able to look Bloomberg in the eye. Trump is the pretender, Bloomberg contender. Ones self made the other self destructs. I can see why you’re worried. You should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynGuy Posted November 10, 2019 #58 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I thought some of you might enjoy this article. Leave it to the News Media to make everything about identity. Personally I think Mr. Bloomberg as a Centrist has an excellent chance of winning the Dem nod and beating President Trump a year from now. Michael Bloomberg’s entry cements Baby Boomer dominance of Democratic race The next Democratic debate may have to be in a nursing home. The entry of Michael Bloomberg into the 2020 Democratic primary fully cements the domination of septuagenarian candidates in the race. Should his biblical wealth vault him to the front of the line, Bloomberg, 77, will face other front runners from the Baby Boomer or Silent Generation including Bernie Sanders, 78, Joe Biden, 76 and Elizabeth Warren, 70. President Trump is 73. Gen X alternatives in the race, like Sen. Kamala Harris or Sen. Cory Booker, have failed to excite primary voters. Both are struggling to stay afloat.

+DieChecker Posted November 10, 2019 #60 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I bet Bloomberg shoots to the top, stealing many of Biden and Bernie's poll voters. Then just as quick he'll fall of to 5th, or 6th, place and be forgotten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynGuy Posted November 10, 2019 #63 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I can understand why so many Democrats are upset with Mr. Bloomberg for entering the race for the Democratic nomination. Imagine how disappointed they will be if he wins and we have one Republican Billionaire from New York City replacing another Republican Billionaire from New York City for President of the United States. How Michael Bloomberg hopes to shape the Democratic presidential race Michael Bloomberg, who appears to be on the verge of announcing a presidential campaign, wants his voice heard in the increasingly progressive Democratic Party, "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan said Friday on "CBS This Morning." "He's very frustrated with the Democratic field," Brennan said. "By saying 'maybe,' by going this close … he can make sure that he's shaping the agenda of who is out there and talking." Bloomberg has floated the idea of running for president before, but he's never gone this far. He was planning to file paperwork Friday to get his name on the ballot in Alabama, which has the earliest filing deadline for the presidential campaign.

Tatetopa Posted November 10, 2019 #66 Share Posted November 10, 2019 L’état, c’est moi "I am the state." That phrase attributed to Louis XIV kinda sums this up for me, and creeps me out. These guys have differing views on nearly everything, EXCEPT their place at the center of the universe. To believe either one of these guys cares about the citizens of the US is like believing Bernie Madoff really cared about protecting old people's savings or still waiting for that rich Nigerian prince to deposit all of that money in the bank account you set up for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynGuy Posted November 10, 2019 #68 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just now, DieChecker said: I think Bloomberg should run as an independent. I agree DieChecker. Imo the current two party system gives short shrift to lots of folks who are more middle of the road. Many of these folks feel they aren't be represented by either party and in some cases probably don't bother to participate or vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skliss Posted November 10, 2019 #71 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The debates would be interesting in many ways. I bet the two of them probably know things about each other we don't.
