$$ Bloomberg $$

Michael Bloomberg is the globalist's dream. Fabulously wealthy, detached from society, convinced of his right to rule. He really should be running China. 

Now he's spending upwards of $2 Billion to get elected. Foreign readers, his ads are everywhere. 

We're doomed.

As the left tells us money is everything in politics. This is how Steve Forbes bought his way into the White House. Oh, Ross Perot too. Hillary! outspent Trump all the way to the Oval Office.

Oh my god, I literally can't even. Stop, just stop. The Democrat Party of 2020 is not nominating a Jewish oligarch who liked to have his police force throw black kids against a wall. 

The Democrat Party of 2020 isn't really nominating anybody.

New Hampshire?

New Hampshire!

And so our stupid party nomination process continues...

Polls show Bloomberg gaining ground. Maybe he's 3rd, maybe he's 2nd?*

Lets see, how does one judge this? On the one hand, Bloomberg is surging. On the other hand, he's blown a quarter of a billion dollars to finish 3rd. Foreign reader(s), Bloomberg's ads are annoyingly and persistently ubiquitous. You can't watch a sporting event without seeing them. NFL, NBA, even the XFL. Why just the other day we were watching ESPN-8 the Ocho…If it's on TV, it's Bloomberg. On the gripping hand** this blog believes the party of Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and the rest of the Mos Eisley Cantina will never nominate a Jewish billionaire oligarch who liked stopping and frisking black guys and, oh, by the way, used to be a GOP.

We have no predictions except chaos. 

At least they can't screw up the vote counting in a straight-up election, right? Right?

*Up-talked on that one.
**Come on, people, that is some serious science fiction referencing.

Over at Inforos:

Political reformers often speak of the influence of money in politics, as if people banding together to support candidates with shared interests is somehow corrupting. Modern American political history is filled with failed self-funding candidates like New Jersey millionaire publisher, Steve Forbes, in 1996 or Texas businessman, H. Ross Perot, in 1992. This year, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg joins the list of rich men who tried to buy the presidency. To date, the Mayor has spent an astonishing $248 million on television campaign advertisements. One has not been able to watch the NFL playoffs without seeing Blomberg’s face at least half a dozen times.

Bloomberg for President: The First Advertisement

Here in the New York Metro area we saw our first Michael Bloomberg for President Ad last night. Behold:

The ad starts off well enough then turns hard left at about the 40 second mark, what with the gun confiscation. Then it gets obnoxious at 1:00, with talk of taking on 'the coal lobby' and what not. There goes Pennsylvania.

From there we turn to the environment and of course, Trump.  We like the shots of Trump Tower. 

The ad actually says people who want health insurance can get it and those who like their insurance can keep it. Where these campaign flunkies not around when Barry O said the same thing a decade ago? Are they Millennials? Rookie mistake.

We're talking nearly a two minute ad buy on Prime Time here people. Good thing Bloomy has the money for it.

Bloomberg is going to stick around till the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut primaries. Is he going to bombard us with this and other insufferable ads? He's going to bombard us with this and other insufferable ads. [Shakes head in sadness]. We're going to see months and months of this civic pollution. Thanks Mike!

We've been looking for an excuse to lose DirecTV. Now we have it.

My latest piece at Inforos on the Democrats and Michael Bloomberg:

In the year of campaigning since the 2018 midterm elections, the race for the Democrat Party presidential nomination is as confused as ever. As of this writing, there is no clear front runner with Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and now Pete Buttigieg all polling at or about 15% nationally followed by several also-rans. Former Vice President Joe Biden is the most electable of this group. Despite age and scandal, Biden’s campaign remains stubbornly alive. Biden has fended off serious challenges from Senator Kamala Harris (D-California) and the above-mentioned Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts). National polls place him at or near the top of the Democrat heap. Even so, Biden is a stumbling gaff machine who looks his age.
