They are both rich old white men who know little about minorities and grew up slapping women's arses at work. The difference is that Trump is also a seething mass of insecurities and lunacy whereas Bloomberg is just power-mad.
pretty much, i think bloomberg is more of a sadist in the way he treated his subordinates.
My mum's interested in US politics but not masochistic enough to follow it herself so during phone chats I give her updates on where I think things are up to. My description of Bloomberg's campaign a few days ago was 'the entire media appears to be on his side and he's bought half of the politicians, so it's basically down to a load of twitter communists to try and shine a light on him'.
No Bloomberg on this one.
i was and am very skeptical but i looked at their NH polling and they got it almost exactly right (28-26 bernie-pete was their final poll, 26-24 was the result). even if it's half this margin this should *really* finish off biden and amy, and significantly bury warren and pete, making it a bernie vs bloomberg straight fight.
Cant get complacent. Bernie's campaign need to act like they are behind in Nevada and not take anything for granted.
very true.
I think they should get complacent.
That's what it is shaping out to be.
But it will be very difficult as the money and media are all behind Bloomberg.
I don't know what simile means but I think Oliver is great. feck his comedy, his investigative segments are too good and he's on our side.
It's when you compare one thing to another.
Great crowds where ever he goes.
CA is going for Bernie big.
No. Its not Virginia.
But the DNC will change the rules for him and MSNBC will never forgive you for calling him an Oligarch.
Bernie attacks Bloomberg direct. From 6.30
I couldn’t care less if people vote for him for the wrong reasons as long as they do
Are there people here willing to bet on the Dem nominee in this early stage? I’m interested to see the results over time. (Whom you think will win, not who you want to). Results will be compiled and presented by Duffy and/or 538. I’m going:
- Bloomberg
- Bernie
- Mayor Pete
Went canvassing for Bernard not far from my house.
Mostly positive. 2 people didn't talk, 2 more said they like him but we think they're going for Pete, one wanted a women even though she likes him. One of the Pete people thinks he as a moderate is more electable, and we're not allowed to argue much so
But the rest, about 10, were pretty set on him. 2 already voted for him, 2 were big supporters who didn't know about early voting, another was some wonk-type who was deciding between Bernie and Warren and I think we got through to him, this old Muslim guy brightened when he realised we were canvassing for Bernie, one grandmother was great, she likes him a lot,(she also likes Pete but doesn't know much about him, and hates Bloomberg so she'll be fine) and one sells Bernie merchandise from her house. Most common reason, if they said anything, was consistency and honesty.
In terms of demographics, I think men were slightly better than women, we only visited 4 black people and got a strong yes from 3 (4th told us "we Jehovah's Witnesses don't vote"), and this was mostly a 30-50 crowd in terms of age. Most common response was nobody answering the bell. Bernie lost the city and the state by a roughly 40-60 margin last time.
In which state are you based?
Bernie Sanders for sure. I'm willing to bet.
No way Bloomberg wins if that video is anything to go by.
Every time I turn on cnn or msnbc they are shitting on Bernie and treating bloomberg like he is the only candidate who has a chance of beating Trump.
How embarrassing for bernie.
They had their cocks out for Hillary in 2016 and she significantly outspent Trump. In the end, she got whooped. Let them be desperate.
@Eboue:
It’s all his fault. The shitty, sorry, city of Richmond has had years to provide good infrastructure but Bernie ruined it all in one afternoon. He’s too popular for his own good!

Wait till Bernie racks up a few more delegates and starts to get a head of steam; then the MSM will go all out attack mode on him. The scaremongering will be something else.
Biden was on MSNBC with host and ex Republican Nicolle Wallace,showing fake outrage at those so called Bernie Bros comparing them to the white supremacist.
To be fair to her she won the primary and got more votes than trump.
If Bernie manages the same his supporters will be blaming the system and saying he was the real winner instead of getting whooped.
Personally I could see Bernie racking up votes in safe seats but loosing the electoral college to trump in a big way
I think Bloomberg has a better path to victory if the Bernie supporters would get behind him should he win the primary (but I'm not sure either of those two things is likley)
Either way I think trump probably wins
What an argument just now on CNN:
"But this is not dark money, he is a self made billionaire, there is an american dream story in there".
"But this is not dark money, he is a self made billionaire, there is an american dream story in there".
Why would Bernie supporters care whether Bloomberg or Trump won? They are the same on a lot of domestic issues, when compared to Bernie.
Feck me! Just looking at Bloomberg's numbers. America is fecked.
If the right of the Democratic get their act together than Bernie fecked. Hopefully they keep fighting each other to the bitter end.
Hopefully we will be seeing more of these kind of ads.
Minorities will not vote for Bloomberg. His record regarding women, stop and frisk etc is atrocious. I can't see him beating Trump.
