It’s been obvious to me since he declared that Mike Bloomberg is not a serious candidate for the Democratic nomination. He is everything the Democratic base doesn’t want — white, billionaire, oligarch, Wall St. 0.000001%’er.
Oh, and until just a couple of years ago, he was a Republican. Billionaires like Bloomberg change parties to where ever they see their money will go the farthest for them achieving their goals.
Right now, that is the quickly fracturing Democrats, who are staring at a revolt to Bernie Sanders that doesn’t sit with Wall St. at all.
It’s also obvious that Bloomberg is animated by personal animus towards Donald Trump that I suspect is as much about Mike’s ego as it is his desire to protect Wall St. from having any of its dirty laundry aired during a Trump 2nd term.
Because with the failure to convict Trump in the Senate those that were behind that coup attempt are now uniquely exposed to his retribution. And that trail of tears for all involved leads right back up to Hillary Clinton’s poisoned garden of a 2016 presidential bid.
With the Democratic presidential field a uniquely inept mix of the hopeless and insane Bloomberg using saturation advertising to buy himself wins in delegate-rich red states with weak Democratic parties like North Carolina, Florida and Texas is a good strategy, if he was interested in winning.
But he’s not. He’s running to clear the field for Hillary.
Because the fight over these early states are as much about splitting the delegate count as possible, to strip Bernie Sanders of his chance at the nomination. Hillary is still angry at Bernie for challenging her in 2016.
She still wants another chance to fulfill her life’s ambition and if she can screw over all the men that she feels denied her that then it will be all the sweeter when it happens.
Because, honestly, Bloomberg isn’t interested in being president anymore than I am. He’s 78. He’s not campaigning. What he’s doing is a pantomime of a campaign covering for a very sophisticated form of campaign finance evasion.
And he’s doing it to figure out what is necessary for a ‘centrist’ Democratic candidate to say (and where) to steal electoral college votes from Donald Trump in November.
Bloomberg is spending this money today knowing that a targeted campaign which can figure out how to undermine Trump where he is strong can shift the map enough to sneak out a victory.
So Mike will spend more than $1 billion as an in-kind contribution to the DNC in the form of campaign advertising to get this done.
Because, let’s get serious here for a second. None of the candidates, including Bernie Sanders, has a hope in hell of beating Trump this fall. Any mistakes Trump’s made dwarf the basic message that he believes in the U.S. in a way that is genuine, even that vision of America is flawed.
The wizards at the DNC know this. Impeachment was their last real hope. That’s why it was rushed through and so shoddily done, they didn’t have anything substantive. And all it did was cement Trump’s base to him more thoroughly than it was before.
Their best shot is running a moderate who can out-Trump Trump on the issues and raise a ton of money along the way for 2024 while retaining some control over the party proper.
The intention is to hoover up delegates, confound the map and throw up roadblocks to Bernie. This paves the way for Hillary’s emergence at a brokered convention to hand her the rematch she, Wall St. and the DNC want.
The messaging has already begun. Drudge ‘broke’ the story the other day about Bloomberg being open to Hillary as his running mate. Oh please! It’s the other way around.
And I’ve been running that story since October. Tulsi Gabbard unmasked Hillary’s manipulating events no-to-subtlety.
It’s clear the DNC want Hillary and another beta-male, Pete Buttigieg, as her running mate.
So, less than 48 hours after Drudge ‘breaks’ this story, video of Bloomberg just happens to show up and go viral showing him saying disparaging things about farmers and metalworkers.
To top it off, he wants to save healthcare by letting old people die.
We all know Mike hates poor people. He’s a geezer auditioning for the top job in the U.S. who hates old people. He’s a thorough authoritarian and corporatist whose disdain for the plebiscite is palpable.
Nothing says U.S. Presidential material like the blatant disregard for human suffering. On second thought, maybe Mike is the perfect candidate?
All of this was known before, so why these things now?
These videos and quotes are out there to undermine him, casting him in the role of the out-of-touch oligarch.
This is designed to outrage the Deplorables. It’s designed to put a cap on Mike’s likability. It gives Hillary a wedge to drive in and say, “No, Mike you can be MY running mate!”
Mike Bloomberg: billionaire, entrepreneur, media mogul, three-time Mayor of New York, bond vigilante… beta-cuck.
So thoroughly Hillary.
This way, he can have his turn as the front-runner, rising far enough on his money to earn some delegates and ensure a brokered convention. Then hand them to Hillary as a gracious peace offering.
This is about manufacturing Hillary as the unity candidate of a failing Democratic Party while sidelining Bernie in the process. That’s the game plan folks.
It’s not tough, honestly.
If it wasn’t all so painfully obvious it would almost be clever. But it’s not because these people simply don’t understand why no one likes them.
Because they suck.
Bloomberg, Hillary, Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Booker, Harris and the rest of the crazies, including Bernie, they all suck. Bernie may be honest that he’s a Commie, but that’s what makes him un-electable, if a little more likable.
And for 2020, the DNC would rather roll the dice with two-time loser Hillary, ensuring a candidate acceptable to Wall St. wins, than put Bernie up as the nominee.
Because no matter what happens the Democrats become the Commie and Crazy-Cat Lady party with Bernie as the nominee. And that creates a clear delineation between them and the Republicans.
But, that’s the worst possible result. Because, the most important thing to Bloomberg, Hillary and those they represent is that the illusion of choice between globalist dirtbags remains in place. This is the true face of Democracy in the U.S.
That’s the key to understanding the game he and Hillary are playing.
And once you see that for what it is there’s no unseeing it.
If Bernie sees it clearly, then he will take his Bros, extend his hand to Gabbard and run an independent campaign to split the Blue Wall and destroy these people for real.
If he doesn’t then he’s the same feckless schmuck I pegged him to be in 2016.
Either way, this is now Hillary’s nomination and Bloomberg is the latest goat on its way to her altar.

Interesting take. NOW do you see how evil democracy is?
And ungodly amounts of $$ owned by one person?
Bloomburg is the poster child for why Billionaires should not exist?
Tucker drilled Bloomer last night:
Another X-Ray visioned analysis by Tucker Carlson. Bravo.
Impeachment was the vehicle Hi LIAR y and the dems used to sink Creepy Old Joe’s campaign. They knew he was a gaff machine and would lose in a landslide, taking down the House majority and any hope of retaking the Senate.
Big Mike is sitting back, collecting Oscars and waiting for ’24.
It is an interesting theory. I agree that Bloomis has zero interest in being POTUS. He wants to choose POTUS, and direct (on behalf of his globalist billionaire compatriots) POTUS, but he damn sure does not want to be POTUS. Where I get off the train is at the Hillary station. I just don’t see it. She was on a rail in 2016. She leased the DNC, had the entire media, and should have been able to steal the few thousand votes she needed in the midwest to ensure “victory”. What happened? The real powerbrokers decided that Hillary was the wrong person. They chose Trump. Not because they like him, but because he was gong to do a better job protecting them that Hillary. Why would thei opinion be different about her now?? I just don’t see Hillary having any chance at all. None. None for any of the rest of the mutts in the Dem race either, but especially not Hillary.
I think it will be Michelle Obama, but have not bet the farm on it. She would be easy to manage, I think. I bet Bloomie and his boys do as well.
They all know Trump is a shoo-in for ’20, so Big Mike is sitting by waiting on ’24
>None of the candidates, including Bernie Sanders, has a hope in hell of beating Trump this fall.
I’m not so convinced of that.
If Sanders got the nomination (which will never happen as it will be sabotaged, but let’s assume for now),
I think he has a fair chance – because for many voting for Trump in 2016 was a middle finger towards the insider establishment, so voting for Sanders would in many ways be a vote against the whole system (well, “believed to be.”)
So if things get a bit rougher economically til November which is not unlikely, Sanders would have a chance to win.
One thing is for sure, if Bloomberg were to become president with Killary as his VP, he wouldn’t live much past the first January. He has to be smart enough to know that.
Usually Luongo has good insights, especially when examining the EU, but, this article is pure fantasy. The queen is dead, she will not be allowed to run the show in front of the curtains, she is a known drunkard, and is quite unreliable when it comes to protecting the interests of those who own the curtains. She can continue to manipulate the DNC from the shadows, as is so obvious. But nobody want to see her, and Pelosi and the squad, have any more power than they currently have, which is- to decide what color pant suits to wear during ceremonies, and perhaps picking out what color flower arrangements would work well with the aforementioned pant suits.
pant suits or, a cloak with no buttons, similar to what jabba the hut might wear, on a night out in tattoi.
Luongo’s got an interesting theory that explains a lot. Before this article I couldn’t figure out what all the excitement over Bloomberg was. His billionaire credentials and obvious distaste for the dirt people were not qualities that will endear him to the blue leftists. So what if he appeals to the centrists in the party, they are clearly outnumbered by the left wing nuts.
But I can definitely see Hillary riding in at the last minute with a message of peace and goodwill to all democrats and graciously taking all the delegates that Bloomberg accumulates as Little Mike steps away from politics and returns to making money. Then Hillary takes gay-boy Pete as her running mate and gathers all his delegates. Throw in the DNC superdelegates and presto it is Hillary vs Trump, the Sequel.
The only flaw in this plan is that Hillary will get fewer votes in 2020 than she did in 2016. First, all the Bernie supporters will be even more pissed off and will either stay home or vote for Trump as a FU to Hillary. Second, many more blacks and hispanics will vote for Trump this time because their life has improved over the last four years. Third, many independents who didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 will vote for him this time because they believe in fair play and see Trump getting screwed by the establishment day after day.
Add to this grim outlook the Hillary, the possibly that Bernie gets a backbone and runs as in independent or, more likely, the Green Party candidate, seriously eroding the number of dem votes.
So the bottom line is that unless Jesus Christ returns and becomes the D candidate in 2020, the democrats are doomed. Fortunately, the dems would never let Christ be their candidate unless Christ was a black, gay, trans, abortion supporting kind of candidate. I don’t see that happening.
Hopefully, a well trained marksman will make Hillary pay the standard price for committing High Treason against the United States at which point the whole rematch issue would only be academic.
