    Dictonary.com needs to add Bloomberg's name to the definition of hypocrite. Maybe in this day and age of video, Lil Mike just doesn't understand his past will come back to haunt him. I guess it doesn't count when he does what he condemns others for doing. I am already annoyed at his asinine ads on TV.

    What I find to be "obscene" is a billionaire buying his way onto the debate stage while folks of color (Booker, Castro and Harris) are out. The Democrats simply pretend to care about minorities just to get their votes, but Trump is the one that got all minorities unemployment at an all time low.

    Bloomberg said in 2015 'all the crime' is in minority areas

    Wow! Imagine the outrage if Trump said something like that? He would be excoriated. But, lets see how far lil Mike makes it before the DNC puts the3 skids on his campaign. Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

    Oh yeah? I'm tired of seeing his Messianic and nonstop ads on my, antenna TV. Screw him and his racism. Democrats love him, in keeping with their Heritage.

    Wow. Bloomberg must really be scaring you guys. There are currently 8 threads about Bloomberg on the first page of Current Events, all started by Trumpsters, at least 7 of which are critical of Bloomberg.

    Trump and his supporters obviously - and correctly - see Bloomberg as a huge threat to Dirty Donny’s re-election. So the knives are coming out and the attacks are ramping up. Too bad for Bonespurs that Mike has something that he will NEVER have. Tens of billions that he built from nothing.

    Doomberg would be the easiest to defeat. Just keep playing the video of his stop and frisk as well as put all cops in minority neighborhoods and he's cooked.

    If you have $63 Billion is it obscene to spend $800 million on campaign ads? Look at all of the workers that employs and the cash flow it generates. That is a good thing, isn't it?

    This bloke seems to have made the conservatives very jittery with all this 'mud' now coming out. I don't know the bloke. I have read speculation that he'd take Hillary as his running mate. I have no regard for her at all, but....that might be a pretty nifty ticket, vote wise.

    That may win a lot of Southern votes as well as Northern racist votes. It could be his key to victory.

    This is the left pulling all this stuff up on Bloomberg. Its pointless for the right at this time. Whoever's got the most to gain is behind all these things being brought out. Since he already bought and paid for the DNC they are stuck with him...

    Two of a kind. If the Democrats want to show they can find people as bad as Trump - you are both garbage and the decent people of the US have no one to vote for - which is by the way why they voted for Trump to begin with.

    Interesting. The definition that I found just has a picture of Michael Bloomberg as the entry under 'hypocrite.'

    He’s a clown.

    I have a degree in marketing/advertising. It would be so easy to put together about ten 30 second ads that would wipe him out in two weeks.

    Even easier to make one for dirty Donny and yet look where he is.

    Oh well.

    Mike said something a long time ago, it is Ancient History, and people change.

    Anybody who actually cares had no intention of voting for him anyway.

    End of story.

    PS--Thanks for assuring that their remains a QUOTA of (At Least) 6 Bloomberg Threads (on the 1st Page of Current Events) at all times.

    Good Lookin' Out.:salute:

    Ukraine and/or China better contrive some Bloomberg depravity pretty soon.

    Maybe he has his own John Bolton somewhere, eager to sing.

    Then create effective ads against Trump. So far, no one has.

    So the Hollywood Access comments from Trump were said a long time ago and don't matter?

    Would you left-wingers stop with the "Bloomberg must really be scaring you guys" crap!

    No. The racist bigoted homophobic sexist billionaire does not scare us.
