The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[Ingomike]

Wow! Bloomberg said it. Said he "bought" the house for Nancy to fight the President. Spent $100 million on it...

“Let’s go on the record…they talk about 40 Democrats — 21 of those people that I spent $100 million on to help elect. All the new Democrats that came in that put Nancy Pelosi in charge and gave the Congress the ability to control this president — I BOUGHT – uh I got them.”

You know it’s funny. I would’ve thought that Biden’s obvious pander to the black vote with his Mandela fable might have garnered some scrutiny but maybe I was wrong.

I think they are taking a page out of the Trump supporter handbook. The "why does it matter" approach. People seem to be less critical of their guy, if the the other side is less critical of theirs.

A Fruedian slip, but as true now, as in any time when it comes to people with money attempting to influence politics.

It seems that is really from the hildebeest handbook.

I mean truly, if any of us spent $100 million to turn congress over and it did, wouldn't it feel like we bought it?

I would... and I would expect my pet projects to get lots of support from those I helped.

If he thinks his purchase provided any sort of control over Trump, I wonder if his candidacy reflects some amount of buyer's remorse.

 

[Ingomike]

If you read in a novel about a small city where the owner of the local newspaper funded the craziest clowns for city council and mayor to create scintillating news to keep the paper profitable, and the mayor got so crazy the paper owner had to run against that mayor, you would laugh that off as part of a fictional book.

That it is occurring on the national levei just continues the point, we live in times satire and fiction cannot rival...

 

[JettaKnight]

That's pretty much the Trumplican Party today. The similarities are scary.

You know, I really didn't know to much about them, and after a brief Wiki read... totally see where you're coming from.

How is the fact he can't be bought nor controlled by anyone outside the other two branches a bad thing? Show your work

What does it matter if Dr. Evil funds a puppet or himself?

I think you're looking to deep into that post Bug. I think T.Lex was saying that because the Democrats have been unsuccessful, generally, in twarting Trump, Bloomberg might think his money wasn't so well spent.

Buying dumocraps is never money well spent because of what you get.

The Republican Party is morphing into the Trumplican party. That is why Paul Ryan and about 40 others retired, Trump values were not their values. In an accurate political analysis, that is why republicans lost the house, all the ship jumpers, not Bloomy's money.

They did not support, America First, strong borders and immigration policies, and fair trade deals for the citizens...

I love the name Trumplicans, I think I know what you are indicating with it but it can also have a meaning that I believe is true and in my eyes not a negative...

I wonder how he feels about the RoE on the $500million he has spent (so far) on getting shelled. Maybe it will be like the end of THX1138 and Bloomberg will end his attempt to become president because it has gone 10% over budget

It's not meant to be negative. I got the word from Trump supporters themselves. The logo, that I've seen, is a elephant with Trump hair. Surely you know if I wanted to come up with something negative, it wouldn't be so hard to do so. I could have just as easily said Republicucks.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Biden is the perfect choice. Put him in the Oval Office. He's past the point where he can do anything other than tell stories about things that never happened (to him/to others). He dresses nice. Don't let the kiddies come too near and change the subject if he asks you to rub him anywhere on his body.

He won't change the status quo, so you Repubicans should be happy.

He doesn't Tweet. I don't think he's ever used Facebook.

Perfect.

Maybe Brian Williams should have run. He's good at that too, and he's not as long in the tooth.

Would this country have been better off or worse off if Hillary has been elected?

This is a hypothetical question meaning there is no right answer, or the answer cannot possibly be known, correct?

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh! I know this one!
