Bloomberg-Clinton

RabidAlpaca said:
Bloomberg is literally the only candidate of the Democrats that I won't vote for. He doesn't respect the American people enough to show up to the debates, to canvass, campaign across the country, to get on the primary ballot, or make his case to the American people why he can lead us forward. This is the Daily Mail so it's very likely a lie, but if it were true that would be an absolutely disasterous combination that would see Trump in the White House another 4 years. The American people currently have little tolerance for swampy corruption. Bloomberg isn't getting the nomination and he certainly isn't picking Hillary.

The good news is Hillary has zero interest in being anyone's lapdog. This woman gains absolutely nothing she could possibly want by being Biden to Bloomburg's Obama.
 
With as corrupt as we know the Clintons have been, with as incompetent and nasty as Hillary is, only morons would consider letting Hillary into their house, much less the White House.

Let's see she lost to Obama in 2008 in the primaries and she lost to Trump in 2016 with THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE which is what counts. She's a two time loser, but you all must love losing and love the establishment. It's pathetic!!! We on the other hand started electing populists who actually govern for the working people.

Can't wait to hear you flesh out your recycled talking points about how Trump is helping working people.
Meanwhile, your concern troll style posts are even weaker and thinner than your supply of actual facts.
 
Palmer Report, normally known for slanting stuff themselves:

1) Mike Bloomberg leaked the fake Hillary story to distract everyone from the story today about him mistreating women.

2) One of Bloomberg’s Democratic opponents leaked it, under the belief that attaching Bloomberg to Hillary would hurt him.

3) Trump and/or the GOP leaked the story for the same reason.

But there's no slant here, the author made some excellent points.

Trump would've gotten a lot more done if Pelosi worked with him instead of the impeachment BS. Talk about an unproductive house!! All they are doing is naming post offices.

Mike Bloomberg wants Hillary Clinton a running mate, say sources | Daily Mail Online



This wins over all the moderates and independents. And, Hillary on the ticket will get the Black vote out and much of the D base, as well. Hell, even Israel would approve.


The ticket certainly works for me. I definitely would vote for it. I like Mike. And, Hill would make an excellent VP. She has 8 years of experience doing that job already as co-president.

Please put Hillary on the ticket. She has so many negatives that are all on video. Please lets do Hillary part 2. Democrats really don't have a clue.

Let me put it this way, the candidate everyone needs to vote for because defeating xyz is top priority always loses, if the candidate can not win organically in a primary they will lose in a general election.

Sanders is one of three that could very well defeat trump, the others are tulsi who has nearly no chance at all of winning the primary and amy who stood no chance at all until recently but has jumped into the viable category quickly. Sanders has major support and loyal supporters, and amy is a wildcard not enough about her support is known at this time to make any determination, So I would not rule her out.

But if it came down to it, bloomberg would likely face low turnout, he is a lifelong republican who backed bush and is a racist and his only major breaking from republican establishment is on gun control, while bernie could crank out the numbers, his voters are very loyal and active, they are much like trumps that no matter what the polls say they will show up in force to back their guy, and come election time you need to have you base plus independants, and more importantly you need them to SHOW UP TO VOTE AS IT DOES NOT MEAN SQUAT HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY WILL VOTE IF NONE OF THEM SHOW>

Basically to do the democrat primaries justice, quit voting for who you think would win and vote for who you support, if you can only get support for the purpose of defeating xyz instead of because people back your ideas, you are doomed as a candidate.

Shhhhhhh...

I think running a Bloomturd/Hideous Hillary ticket is an EXCELLENT idea!

The House has passed more than 400 bills. The Senate has passed 70.

He's using money in the same way other candidates are using their time before the cameras - to persuade. He's not "buying" anything besides advertising. Will the Democratic nominee in the fall be "buying" the election with his or her marathon of paid ads? If not, then neither is he.

That's kind of the point. Instead of doing the actual hard work and trying to appeal to the American people, he's just buying ads. Too lazy to show up to debates or get on ballots, too lazy to canvass. He's not legitimately trying like the others.

You're wrong. He's personally campaigning full time but concentrating on the battleground states, broadly defined. As I mentioned earlier, he had a rally in Richmond yesterday. I was there and it was packed. In Virginia, he has put together a campaign staff of 92. Several of them worked the rally. You could sense their determination on his behalf.

So he's ignoring the rest of the country and focusing on battleground states? Couldn't be bothered to show up to the debates or to get on the ballot on all the states? Yeah, he sounds like a real winner! He's got a whopping 0 delegates so far.
 
Great news!

Let all the people who vote for the Bloomberg-Clinton ticket get a taste of what that duo does to them personally.

President Trump does not deserve all the grief that he has gotten in his efforts to protect this country from domestic and foreign lawbreakers.

He would be much happier going back to making a lot of money in business and flying around the country speaking to huge crowds as the head of the loyal opposition.

I should have mentioned California and other states rich in delegates. Bloomberg seems to me the best in a below average field of candidates. I suspect Trump fears him more than any of the others. Imagine Trump's six foot one pillar of flab on a debate stage ridiculed by the comparatively miniature Bloomberg, and have no doubt Bloomberg will ridicule him.

Mike is quick witted. But, Trump only has to act like a buffoon. It worked against Hillary, who is at least 40 IQ points higher than Dumb Don.
 
calamity said:
He is, of course, another problematic rich white guy. But he is without question better than Trump.



My views:

Bernie sucks and stands zero chance of winning a general.

Warren is pretty good, but she has the whole woman thing working against her (misogyny rules). Also, she is perceived as too liberal.

Amy is probably the strongest candidate on the merits. But, she is from a small state with no real political chops--plus, misogyny rules apply.

Pete is good but even worse than Amy in the "small state with no chops" category. Plus, he has that whole gay thing working against him. Let's face it. There is no way a gay guy is winning the general election in the USA in 2020. Zero.

So...who beats Trump, hands down? Mike.

Depends on what you're looking for. Attracting Independents? Hillary failed to do this in 2016. Money, Hillary raised and spent 1.191 billion to Trump's 646.8 million. So money doesn't always buy election. Although 2016 was the first year since 1964 where the candidate with less money won,

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

I do think you're mostly correct in your analyst. Warren and Sanders are probably too far left for most independents. Klobuchar probably is the most well liked by independents, Biden has lost his independent appeal and unless he gets his campaign back on track, he might be forced to give it up. Buttigieg, not sure about him. Then there is Steyer and Bloomberg. Bloomberg has risen from basically zero to 15% in the national Democratic nomination polls in less than a month. Can he continue, unknown?

From a numbers guy and not a partisan one, I'd say today, Klobuchar would be the most attractive to the independent voter. That's today, since this thing is very dynamic and changes all the time, it's anyone's guess as to who would be the most attractive to independents next week or even tomorrow.

You don't fight swampy corruption with swampy corruption. I'll vote for any candidate other than Bloomberg. If you want to actually win in November, you'll stop advocating for a candidate that will motivate the average working man to stay home.

That's fine. People like you will be why we get 4 more years of Trunp and his judges which will last until you're 60yo.

I don't agree it would be a good ticket. Trump won in 2016 because of the dislike of many for Hillary. There is no reason to bring that dislike back into this election.

Bloomberg/Klobuchar would be a better ticket.

Hillary voted for the Iraq war then said that's not what she was voting for. She lost the election because, being the Chosen One, she need not fight for the presidency in the battleground states (that's why they are called the "battleground" states, you have to fight for them), hence she never set foot in Wisconsin, hence she lost. She never got an even break, IMO. But she is who I blame for the bequeath of Donald Trump. But that's just me.

This story makes Bloom look good. He knows better that Hillary won't go for VP and he won't have her.
