Mike Bloomberg is an arrogant sexist pig. No doubt about
that.
He’s a letch. He brags to other guys he’d “fuck her in a second”
when he sees an especially attractive young female employee – even in front of her.
He says this so often he’s got it to
shorthand – he just says “in a second” and all his fellow pigs know.
He openly berates women who aren’t stunningly beautiful and
sexy. He’s not beyond calling someone a “fat broad” to their face, or opining
about “horse-faced lesbians,” calling transgender people men wearing dresses or
simply “it,” or implying that all woman are essentially whores.
It doesn’t end there.
He once asked a female employee if she was giving good
blowjobs to her boyfriend. When he learned one of his female employees was
pregnant, he asked her: “Are you going to kill it?”
This is a truly abhorrent and insensitive human being. This
is just a smattering.
He makes Donald Trump look like Mr. Rogers and that’s not
easy.
Now he’s running for the Democrat nomination. Well, he’s not actually running for it in the
conventional sense as much as trying to buy it.
He’s already spent about $400 million on a carpet-bombing
campaign of self-promoting TV ads in key primary states coming up. He’s also hired hundreds, if not thousands,
of social media types to post positive things about him online to their friends
every week for up to $2,500 a month; he also wants them to turn over their contacts
to his campaign for future harvesting as well.
He’s rumored to be paying double the norm to campaign staffers while
providing a bunch of other novel perks, like free Apple iPads and other
goodies.
He's getting endorsements, not surprisingly, from the same
organizations he’s been funding and subsidizing for decades. They dare not step
out of line; they’ve been bought.
He’s told some Democrats he might spend up to $2 billion of
his estimated $62 billion in wealth to win this election; he’s told others he
will spend whatever it takes to win. Democrat party leaders are salivating over
access to so much money to defeat Trump.
So much so that they were willing to change the rules for getting on the
Nevada debate stage to accommodate Bloomberg – who skipped the first primaries
altogether and isn’t even on the primary ballot in Nevada.
The other candidates may howl in outrage at the DNC’s
actions to support Bloomberg, but in the end it won’t matter. Bloomberg is this cycle’s Hillary: like her,
Bloomberg has the money to play big; party leaders will do anything to stop
Bernie Sanders; and they will do anything to defeat Trump, even if it means
putting forth an amoral, sociopath scumbag like Bloomberg.
Democrat leaders know exactly who Bloomberg is. They know his past. They know all about
him. But they are desperate.
That’s how low the Democrat Party has gone. They look at the current candidates and they
know not one of them has the snowball’s chance in Hell to defeat Trump.
So they are willing to make a deal with the devil.
Unfortunately, it’s not going to work.
They never learn.
Like Hillary, Bloomberg is a fake. Like Hillary, he doesn’t
really like ordinary Americans – and it shows. Like Hillary, he’s a terrible
liar; it’s so obvious when he lies and tries to weasel out of what he actually
said or did. And worse, like Hillary, his
arrogance and condescension are always on display; you can just see from his
expressions he’s thinking “how dare you” whenever he’s questioned by someone he
sees as beneath him. Which is pretty
much everybody.
Hillary proved it’s hard to get people you openly loathe to
vote for you. I suspect Bloomberg will find the same is true for him. Although
he’s so self-absorbed he may not see that.
I’m sure he can lock down the looney left that hates
Trump. They’d bring Hitler back to life
and run him if they were convinced he’d beat Trump. But the same thing that tanked Hillary will
ultimately tank Bloomberg: he can’t have an honest conversation with ordinary
Americans.
He doesn’t really believe anything he says to potential
voters. Like her, he says what he thinks voters want to hear, even though it's clear he's just reading from a script created by consultants. More
importantly, because he doesn’t associate with ordinary voters – or apparently
feel the need to – he doesn’t know firsthand what ordinary Americans really
want. Honestly, he doesn’t really care; they’re
nobodies to him.
In person he’s wooden, cold, and, quite frankly,
unlikeable. You always come away with
the sense that he’s holding back something unpleasant he’d really like to say
but won’t right now. But you
know he’d like to tell everybody to shove it – don’t they know who they’re
talking to?
Bernie Sanders may be nuts, but he’s the real deal. His
supporters love him because of this. It’s why as crazy and unrealistic as
Bernie’s ideas may be, they’ll follow him through Hell and back. They are as loyal a base as Trump supporters. Nothing
shakes them.
Bernie’s real. Trump is real. The Mike Bloomberg being presented to the
public now isn’t and all the slick ads and manufactured online support can’t
overcome that.
If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination this time, his
supporters will burn down the party. And if DNC types think Bernie’s supporters
will support any Democrat other than him, they’re insane. Bernie's supporters may hate Trump
but they’ll hate getting screwed over by their own party again even more. They won't take it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Bernie run as an independent if the DNC screws him again.
Then again, Bernie and the other candidates may be forced to support Bloomberg in the end. But his people won't.
