 How did Bloomberg do? |
Link |
I am not excited about Bloomberg. Like the rest of them, he's got a lot of scary stances, abortion and such.
But I saw most of the debate and missed a few minutes to go do something. I thought Bloomberg did well. His tone is a bit flat, but he seemed more sensible than a lot of the other candidates and he did not come off as nervous like Kubochar, for example.
Fox was saying he did really poorly. Maybe I hadn't seen the clip of Warren asking about sexual harassment confidentiality agreements.
I thought Biden did really poorly. He kept stumbling, especially at the start.
I do not expect Buttigieg to do well in South Carolina. I spend several days a week in SC, and I was thinking of just voting for someone else there, but I don't want blood on my hands. I wish there were a pro-life Democrat. Why don't the pro-life groups and the Christian Coalition support candidates to run as Democrats and rally for Christians to take over the primaries? Carve an institutional niche for prolifers among the Dems. But I digress.
What is the deal with the space between Buttigieg's upper lip and his nose? It looks like he is on day two of a mustache with makeup over it, or something like that, all the time? Does he have a mustache tattoo that he covers up with make-up? Why would he have five-o'clock shadow there, but not on his chin, and why not just shave it off?

Since I didn't watch the debate, it seems you have a different take on it than the media. But I do not rely on that too much anymore. I don't believe it is all fake news, but for sure they do put out a different version at times methinks.
To be honest, I was hoping Bloomberg would bring some business sanity to the other side of the aisle. I am pretty sure I could not vote for him. 
PS:
I did like the quote I read that Bloomberg addressed to Sanders about him harping on the WEALTHY while he was a millionaire and owned 3 nice homes!

Thats why we have Republicans so you don't have to vote for a liberal democrat any more.
I know what you're trying to say but use the Bernie Sanders analogy for a minute. You can't be against the dems platform & win your district, they'll squeeze you out & they'll find your replacement right out from underneath you just like they did Bernie.
The democrat party of JFK is long gone & will never return - the only party that allows for individualism is the GOP & even they are starting to squeeze their candidates more & more to conform to the party line.

That was a pretty good 'burn', or whatever. Also Bloomberg said some of the ideas were Communist, or something along those lines. I don't think he mentioned Sanders, but Sanders commented as if that were directed at him. He said something along the lines of the way to lose in November is to talk about this kind of stuff.
I hope he sticks with the debate. If he keeps calling crazy ideas crazy and communist, that is a contribution to the party platform and the direction the company is going in.
Sanders wanted workers to own 20% of the companies they were a part of. He left himself wide open. Someone should have asked him what he was going to say to all the grandmas and grandpas who lose 20% of their retirement because he gave the stock in their retirement plans away to the workers. He has sworn to uphold the Constitution, so where is the government going to get the money to compensate the sockholders when it takes 20% of every company by eminent domain?

I thought Bloomberg picked it up a little bit in the second half, but I thought he got annihilated pretty bad in the first hour. Warren in particular landed several hard blows, especially concerning his NDAs and past comments and conduct.
He doesn't have a platform or set of views that anyone in the Democrat party wants. Maybe there is a small group of pragmatists who think he might be best suited to beat Trump, but I don't think there's any real evidence to support that theory. He's like John Kasich was in the 2016 GOP primary, but arguably even less appealing to Dem voters than Kasich was to GOP voters. |

I'm thinking that Bloomer will most likely be the skape goat for the dems to throw their ring on.
They act like they don't want Bernie & rightfully so.
Bernie will set the dems back possibly 2 - 3 elections before people will give them another chance.
In fact the indie party might have a chance to gain on the dems if the dems fully embrace the marxist thinking of ole Bernie boy.
Pence election slogan in 2024 should be #KeepItGreat!
If Pence were to ask Don Jr. or Ivanka to be his running mate we might get 16 more years after Trump's re-election.

Bloomberg and Sanders, two Jewish liberal democrats, if elected will do more to turn America against Israel in just one election than all the anti-Israel forces combined. Either one of them will magnify the anti-Israel movement on College/University campuses, while at the same time enacting laws which weaken the voices of Evangelical Christians. The media will limit debate to those who are against Israel, and a left leaning congress will make peace with Israel's enemies and defund Israel's support.
It will be hard for Christians to do anything but fight for our own survival in an anti-Christian nation.

| Bloomberg has to base his entire $500Million add campaign on a lie, that somehow things are terrible under Trump and everyone is broke and only Bloomberg can fix it. Its idiotic. He's also the biggest elitist snob I've ever heard of. Its fine for him and his entitled self to have armed guards, but you should NEVER have anyone armed at a church to protect everyone there, only if you're a billionaire should you be priveledged enough to have armed security. I would honestly rather have Chairman Bernie than Bloomer |

Bernie has a lifetime of connection with Russia (USSR) and dictators who say they are socialist. Michael has made a billions in China and has said many positive things about the government there. Maybe the the US and the west did not win the Cold War after all.

True. Its not that I want Bernie as POTUS, but he seems more likable than Mini-Mike. But yeah, both are globalists in one way or the other. They'd give America to the dogs to line their pockets. |

Bloomberg might just be rolling the dice. It's chump change for him... or maybe disposable income is a better term. He said he's giving his money away. When you hit 60 billion, your lifestyle isn't going to be that much better than a poorer billionaire's like Donald Trump.
I hope he can just throw some sane pushback against some of the crazy left wing economics.
Here are a couple of ideas:
He can say, "Why don't we pass a law giving one of Bernie's three houses to the poor American proletariat so they can use it? We can nationalize them."
"If we give 20% of grandma's stock away from her retirement account to workers of companies, how are we going to pay her back. Is that in your tax plan, Bernie?"
"So we only want to tax the wealth--not just the income-- of billionaires. What about millionaires like Bernie Sanders. Shouldn't we confiscate their money, too?"
