You know like " Little " Michael Bloomberg,once heard stating he owns only TWO pairs of shoes.Now making news with speculation he might pick Hillary Clinton as his V.P. Or change his N.Y. Residence to places like Colorado so as to accommodate any Move to drop the Electoral Vote and provide for a Popular Vote.Obviously the slickster " little " man of means who changes Political affiliations as if auditioning for a remake of the Lon Chaney Movie - Man of a Thousand Faces - { 1957 } starring a short but dynamic Actor { James Cagney } who also won an academy award in 1942 for - Yankee Doodle Dandy -. Bloomberg now appears to be anything but a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Mores like one them : Oligarch
No way,No how is some " Little " Billionaire control freak who refuses to abide Real Rules as simple as running for President gonna Be our President. This guy who might stand 5'4" at best,is no Ross Perot.Perot was entirely self-made and NOT a New Yorker.Nor Jewish. I think half the reason Bloomberg is running is due to the Jewish vote. Which explains ENTIRELY the early-on support of Judge Judy. Not quite a Billionaire,yet.But Very short and very Jewish. Obviously No coincidence.By her own admission untold times on her Judge Judy Show.That she doesn't believe in coincidence. Neither do Real Voters c/o our Heartland.Bloomberg has virtually NOTHING in common with Most of this Country.Good luck trying to sell Bloomberg for President stock to anyone but Corporate Fat Cats who live in Major Metropolis and probably celebrate the Sabbath. Which was a Big Knock against Joe Lieberman as POTUS. What's the guy gonna do as President on Saturdays.Jews don't do nuthin' on Saturdays { The Sabbath } and that's a Fact. Maybe go to a Baseball Game on a nice sunny afternoon. I don't think Bloomberg gives a fig about Baseball. Don't really know what the guy gives a fig about. Maybe N.Y.city Bagels.Or being short.Er boat. Verstehe ?
We already have an Oligarch as President. What's your point. Rich, elite dudes make up about 80% of the Presidents throughout our history.
An Oligarch acquires power due to their connections and also ability to influence with their wealth.Exactly what Bloomberg is attempting.
Because he wasn't Elected nor ran as Candidate by using his wealth.He did use his name.Huge Name recognition.But never his wealth.Know thy difference.Plus as POTUS he takes no salary.Donates each fiscal year to a different charity. Will end his first term with less Net Worth.The polar opposite of Barrack Obama and Joe Biden.
Ironically a 1% er President who said he owns only 2 pairs of shoes.Arguably one with Lifts and one maybe an entire escalator.
Always aware to enough degree how the worlds Billionaires { Individuals and familes } numbering over 2,ooo who make way for their enablers.As if George Soros and Son haven't impregnated enough of an imprint here stateside.Old Man George being the Number One benefactor to our ACLU. Now we should be prudent and adopt a wait and see attitude. Or will the usual suspects { Pols,Bureaucrats,Corporate Executives and Journalist } leave as no other option than view them as " running interference for the rich ". The exact opposite approach used to foil and disrupt Donald J. Trump,a New York Real Estate Magnate and Billionaire.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/nyregion/trump-foundation-lawsuit-attorney-general.html Trump Pays $2 Million to 8 Charities for Misuse of Foundation Under a settlement, the president admitted he had used his charity to bolster his campaign and settle business debts.
Name for me some Oilgarch that doesn't set up a Foundation for the exclusive purpose of reducting his tax burden.The Biggest violaters like Bill and Melinda Gates are praised up,down and sideway. Or them Kennedy's.Plus I wouldn't trust what the N.Y.Tiimes has to say about Trump anything.They just one large gaggle of flacks. Just as we learned the true Character of Sam Donaldson,over the weekend. His public support and endorsement of Michael Bloomberg. Nuthin' but a Leftist shill.
We don't have oligarchs in the U.S. The oligarchs in Russia and other places get their power from government. Doesn't happen in the U.S. Bloomberg, Trump and the Kochs made their money by operating profitable businesses, not by having political power.
He got some money froml Daddy. He has made billions with it by operating a profitable business. Bloomberg started his business from scratch after being fired by an employer.
I get it.Like how Bill and Melinda Gates have No power. Or Warren Buffet.Or howz about George Soros and son Alexander.Tell us all how Billionaire George Soros being the Number One Benefactor to our ACLU is not Political.
$ 400 Million !! An idiot could have invested that much. Trump lost most most of his wealth in the 80's ........... without being picked for a TV reality show ....... no one would know his name No we don't know Dirty Dons worth ............ From how hard he works to hide it and knowing Trump likes to exaggerate .......... it's not so much .........
So then explain all those Lotto/Powerball winners who take home Millions and then like a few years later are flat broke. Or all the High Paid Pro athletes. Holding on to one's Net Worth or nest egg is all in the attitude. It starts with upbringing and how Parents instill a mindset of Savings and also work ethic.You'd be surprised how many Little Old Ladies who seem kinda poor actually have loads of moola squirreled away in Bank accounts.Saving money is a mindset.Spending money is being - Stuck on Stupid -.I think Nicholas Cage would tend to agree.
Throughout History Power is mainly a Political matter. That and Religious power.NOT the Power for the Fever of the Flavor { Pringles }.Got it.
Picking Hillary as his running mate would be a disaster IMO. Folks that would vote for Crooked Hillary will be voting Blue anyway - should Mike succeed in getting the nomination. The problem is all those who detest Hillary
