Trump doesn't stand a chance in November

Sandy Shanks said:

Many observers feel for a variety of reasons that Mike Bloomberg will become the nominee of the Democratic Party. Senile Biden is weakening as Bloomberg grows stronger. The party won't make the mistake of nominating an Independent socialist, and the progressive, Warren, is also losing support since she explained how free everything would be paid for. There are serious doubts the party will experiment at this crucial time with a female or gay candidate.

That leaves Mike Bloomberg.

If so, Trump has no chance once Americans compare the two, and Trump's forever loyal and uninformed base is not sufficient to carry him to the top.

Let's compare the two. Bloomberg made it on his own. Bloomberg was born at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in Brighton, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, on February 14, 1942, to William Henry Bloomberg, a bookkeeper for a dairy company, and Charlotte (Rubens) Bloomberg. His family is Jewish. Bloomberg's paternal grandfather, Alexander "Elick" Bloomberg, was an immigrant from Russia. Bloomberg's maternal grandfather, Max Rubens, was an immigrant from what is present-day Belarus.

In 1973, Bloomberg became a general partner at Salomon Brothers, a large Wall Street investment bank, where he headed equity trading and, later, systems development. In 1981, Salomon Brothers was bought by Phibro Corporation, and Bloomberg was laid off from the investment bank. He was given no severance package, but owned $10 million worth of equity as a partner at the firm.

Using this money, Bloomberg, having designed in-house computerized financial systems for Salomon, went on to set up a company named Innovative Market Systems (IMS). Today, Bloomberg is worth $61.8 billion.

Trump's estimated net worth is $3.1 billion, and he was born with a silver spoon. All his wealth is inherited from his father, including consultants who keep the Trump organization profitable despite Trump's countless expensive mistakes. Lawyers are making a fortune off of Trump with his numerous bankruptcies and lawsuits.

Trump's Presidency is a disaster. He has done nothing for our booming economy except threaten it with high tariffs and a trade war with China. His domestic policy is nonexistent as he spends all his time protecting his friends from prosecutors. Six of his close associates face prison time, including his campaign manager and deputy campaign manager, along with his personal lawyer (Cohen) and former NSA. His foreign policy is catastrophic, creating a threat to our national security. He does not get along well with the leadership of our allies and friends while embracing autocrats like Putin, Kim, and Xi. Because of his obvious bias towards Israel, the U.S. has been thrown out of Middle East talks, replaced by Russia.

Bloomberg is honest to a fault. Indeed, as we speak, Bloomberg is being assaulted by some for his brutally honest statements of the past.

Compare this to Trump. We no longer can trust anything the President says. Think of that. Americans can't trust what their President says. Why? Three years after taking the oath of office, Trump has made more than 16,200 false or misleading claims — a milestone that would have been unthinkable when Fact Checker’s database was first created. The data analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement Trump has uttered.

No sitting President has ever faced a formidable opponent like Bloomberg, and Bloomberg is determined to unseat Trump. Whatever Trump does, Bloomberg will counter with 17 times the impact. This will be new to Trump who is used to getting his way as President. During the upcoming campaign, that will no longer be true.

Trump doesn't stand a chance.

The GOP doesn't stand a chance.

Trump invited foreign interference in our next Presidential election and bribed a foreign leader as incentive to get what he wanted. For this he was impeached and the evidence was overwhelming. So, overwhelming, in fact, that his lawyers largely ignored the evidence and concentrated on the process, the unknown whistleblower, maligning the witnesses, and the Democrats who presented the evidence.

Not one House Republican voted for the Articles of Impeachment. Only one Senate Republican voted to remove Trump from office. Trump Republicans in Congress argued that the impeachment proceedings were purely partisan because with one sole exception the Republican Party voted against impeachment.

The Republican members of Congress are patting themselves on the back for protecting a President who is weakening the power of Congress.

Put a different way, the Republican members of Congress are patting themselves on the back for protecting a President who is weakening the power of the people.

That is a recipe for disaster in November. Trump won't be the only unemployed politician.

- He will reverse the Trump tax cuts for high-income earners, restoring the top rate on ordinary income from 37% to 39.6%.
- Impose a new tax on the very rich. He will place a 5% surtax on incomes (capital and labor) above $5 million a year to fund improvements in infrastructure, education, health care and more
- He will attack the loopholes and complexities that benefit the wealthy at the expense of working families. His plan will close the “pass-through” 20% deduction that lets many rich taxpayers pay less, and he will end the “like-kind” provision that lets real-estate investors defer tax indefinitely.



- He has stated he will make corporations pay their fair share.
- He will raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and increase the minimum tax on foreign income.
- He will also apply the minimum tax on foreign income on a per-country, rather than global, basis.
- He will prevent companies from shifting reported profits to foreign tax havens, tighten rules on transfer pricing and the reporting of foreign taxes, and apply pressure to countries that act as tax havens.
- He will take the lead on cooperative international efforts to defeat profit-shifting.




Whats your definition of the Green Deal? The one which would see millions of jobs taken, close industries worth billions, close critical international trading routes and have an irreversible financial and economic burden





Have you got the quote for that....his policy is not reflective of those statements. Gun control is needed. The gun culture is obsessive and unhealthy. Gun deaths are rising, gun suicides are rising, gun casualties are rising rapidly, gun violence costs to the economy is rising rapidly, the number of guns are rising rapidly. AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.

37% vs 39%, really it's just 2 points higher. I don't really see the difference.

39.6% a 2.6% higher level of taxing.

CURRENT

The current 37% tax bracket for singles is $510,301 or more.
Lets just look at the taxation revenue from 15 people in this tax bracket who all earn $600,000.

Tax Revenue x15 people earning $600,000 each within the 37% tax bracket- $3.33 million

PROPOSED

The proposed 39.6% tax bracket for singles is $510,301 or more.
Lets just look at the taxation revenue from 15 people in this tax bracket who all earn $600,000.

Tax Revenue x15 people earning $600,000 each within the proposed 39.6% tax bracket- $3.564 million

Is an additional $234,000 from just 15 people not really much of a difference.

CALIFORNIA

Lets look at California alone....recent data shows 0.72% of people in California earn over 500,000. Thats 2.848 million people.

Tax Revenue for California people earning $500,000 each within the current 37% tax bracket- $1.03 billion

Tax Revenue for California people earning $500,000 each within the proposed 39.6% tax bracket- $1.127 billion

Is an additional $124 million from just California alone not really much of a difference.

My son lived in the Bronx during 'stop, question and frisk' and he was stopped three times. I just spoke with him about 10 minutes ago. He lives in Colombia, S.A. now. He said he felt a lot safer living in the Bronx knowing that there weren't people walking the streets with guns in their pocket. He absolutely loved 'Mayor Mike', all NYers loved Mayor Mike. The crime rate dropped, the streets felt safer and that's why they elected him for a 3rd term.

I'm 100% supportive of Mike Bloomberg for president and will volunteer for his campaign if he's the candidate.

Bloomberg definitely is China's choice. He also is the choice of Russia, N. Korea and Iran.

Democrats selling their very souls to Bloomberg believing a racist autocrat control freak is better than Trump. In the end, all they did was sell their soul in exchange for the final death blow to liberalism within the Democratic Party. It will be nothing but the corporate fascist political party of the richest people and corporations on earth, nothing else.

There aren't enough white neo-Nazi KKKers left in the USA to offset the extreme opposition black voters will have towards Bloomberg.

The Democrats thought they could buy and power their way to victory with Hilary Clinton too. It will more fail this time.

Here is what matters in terms of ethics and integrity. There are now hundreds of Democratic messages on this forum supporting Bloomberg - all for a single reason: He's astronomically wealthy and can buy the White House. NOT ONE Democrat has posted ONE reason otherwise, ONE issue of any kind, for which they agree with Bloomberg.

With Bloomberg, the Democratic Party stands for NOTHING but worshiping the super rich and super rich corporations. The Democratic Party is becoming NOTHING but a group of servants of the super rich.

If Bloomberg wins this thing then any two bit billionaire can buy every election from here on out. That's not what I or many others want to see happen to our political system.

If Trump doesn't stand a chance in November it will be because the majority of people can see right through him and vote him out. At least that's my dream. As things stand now, I believe that the GOP and Trump are going to do everything they can to cheat to win. Trump is already working that angle now.

It ain't gonna be Bloomberg who takes down Trump. Trump is taking himself down by all the wrong things he says and does. It's only a matter of time before even his sycophants can't even stand him.

I think impeaching a president just because of your hurt feelings in 2016 pretty much guarantees a Trump second term. They claim Trump is "dangerous", democrats are the dangerous ones. They are wanting unlimited illegal immigration in this country and I know a lot of Americans won't stand for it.

Trump would be unleashed.

For four more years Trump would be the most powerful man on the planet. Already he ignores the American people. Answering only to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and "Fox and Friends," he cancelled regular press conferences and is scared to death of the White House press corps. Trump refuses to answer to the American people and now we can add Congress to the list. He will simply ignore what our representatives do and say, and he has hijacked the power of the purse, all due to a complicit Senate led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

He will rule with complete impunity for four more years (or more). That is the power the Senate gave him.

That would be the ironic part if Democrats nominate their own Trump to lead the party. A racist, misogynist, one percenter to be the head of the Democratic party. It's kind of like when people in the UK busted Trump nonstop and now they've got their own version of Trump leading the UK.
