The Establishment is Desperate.

[ZM90]

Bloomberg???? You mean the 1%er authoritarian that tried to tell everyone how much soda they could have? They think he will be able to stop Bernie and our political revolution.

I am sorry Bernie group but this has me laughing my ass off right now. They can go ahead and run Bloomberg, it won't do them any good.

1. Only an idiot would think another billionaire in the race would help.

Bernie up against two 1%'s in a year where people are ready to string them up by their heels? Yeah, bring it on.

[Fawke Em]

6. Can you imagine?

Three New Yorkers in a race, two of them billionaires who represent Wall Street and the third from Brooklyn representing the everyman/woman?

No contest.

[draa]

8. It would only reinforce what people already think.

That it's a rigged system and the 1% will protect it at all cost. It would be glorious to have that chance.

It's a fight we have now or later, but either way it's going to happen.

[Pharaoh]

2. They really are showing their desperation!

[LiberalElite]

3. I live in NYC and Bloomie was my

mayor for 3 terms. I think it's hilarious too. It's impossible for the Establishment (and Bloomberg) to be more out of touch than this. I posted in another thread about this that with all their money they still can't buy a fucking clue. They wouldn't know what to do with a clue.

[ZM90]

4. You're right. They wouldn't know a clue if it walked up and bit them in the ass.

[LiberalElite]

5. Think about it - All those experts and

pundits and thought leaders and focus groups and think tanks...AND - NO CLUE! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[ZM90]

7. Yep. They didn't see Sanders rising at all. They thought he was a niche candidate that would fade.

They were wrong and it serves them right. It's about time for our peaceful revolution. The common folk are taking back the USA from the out of touch 1%ers. If the peaceful revolution fails then we will have a repeat of the French Revolution on our hands and yet most of the 1%ers are too dumb to realize that. There's a couple of good quotes to explain that.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it."

12. And - this was an ad for a NYC storage company -

It seems like a non sequitur but here it is:

10. He left every union hanging without a contract for his last 2 terms. DeBlasio had to clean it all up

[Fawke Em]

11. Where do you live?

I'm partial to Brooklyn (and was well before Bernie - I just think Brooklyn is so much more "real" than Manhattan. I used to get a call from the Irish bartender at a pub near DUMBO every New Year's Eve for years. Too cute.)

But I wish I could live there.

My kids and I LOVE it.

[LiberalElite]

13. I'm in Queens. eom

[Fawke Em]

15. Ah!

Home of that other great Bernie supporter, Art Garfunkel!

(My husband just reminded me that he and Art were in the same Jewish fraternity and are "brothers.&quot

[LiberalElite]

16. Cool!

I'm not "from" Queens though - I grew up in the Bronx.

[Fawke Em]

17. I truly love New York and New Yorkers.

That you're from one of the Buroughs is enough for me!

I'd live there if I could get my Mom to move. I'm an only child and have an elderly Mom (who lives on her own). She loves New York, too, but wouldn't move up North now. She stays cold in Tennessee. My husband is from Boston. He'd be fine with it.

18. I had to spend some time in Fla. in April-May 2011 and

the weekend that Obama announced the bin Laden assassination I was alone in a motel there. I found out watching the 11:00 news. If I had been up in NYC, I would have immediately gotten on the subway to Times Square and yelled my head off with everyone else, in spite of the fact I'd have to go to work the next day. Instead, it was like being in another country. It was driving me crazy. Really. I had just about no one to celebrate with besides the maintenance man who humored me. I was bouncing off the walls happy and just about everyone else was Meh. (!!!!!!!!!!)

When I came home and the plane was over Manhattan on the approach to LaGuardia Airport, I suddenly got an earworm of Sinatra singing "New York New York" I'm not even a Sinatra fan. I was sooo happy to be back - and hear the New Yawk accent again. (I don't have one apparently - some people have thought I'm from Iowa. Go figure.)

[Fawke Em]

20. I live in a very blue suburb of a light blue city in a slight red county in a very red state.

People were shooting off fireworks when bin Laden was killed in my neighborhood.

[LiberalElite]

21. I was in Fl. dealing with a recently deceased friend's estate then-

On the way to her house I saw her rightwing lunatic Fox watching neighbors sitting on the porch - I virtually skipped up the walk and said "They killed Bin Laden!" Response? Blank stares and silence. I thought "BOY they REALLY hate Obama"

In the supermarket there I also said to complete strangers "they killed Bin Laden!" Response: That's nice. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic...But I thought we were all in this together.

[Fawke Em]

22. Maybe they were drunk on pork fat and watered down beer.

LMAO!

[LiberalElite]

23. no. It was Obama Derangement Syndrome. They had it BAD. nt

[mhatrw]

9. What they don't seem to understand is that we don't want ANY establishment candidate!

No matter how much they keep telling us we do.

I think the smarter ones actually do understand this, though, and that is why Bloomberg works only as an empty threat rather than a reality.

[LiberalElite]

14. Bloomberg shouldn't want to be president -

he'd have a harder time going away to one of his homes outside the country.

[Loudestlib]

19. They don't expect him to win

He's just there to split the vote. The would lose the White House just to keep Bernie from winning.

[A Simple Game]

24. Don't they realize that when Biden questioned Hillary's ability to win and now

Bloomberg questions Hillary's ability to win that it doesn't really help Hillary? It looks like they have no faith in Hillary's ability to win the nomination.

Or is that actually what they want to do, raise more questions about Hillary's ability to win?

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Bernie bump from this.
