Bloomberg stumping for the farm vote
Comments

Farming has gone high tech.

Farming accounts for just a hair over 1% of the labor force. Bloomberg is a elitist idiot, but the idea that these comments will kill his chances is silly.
He has plenty of other things will kill his chances. He won’t even be top 3 in the primary. -
Yes it won’t matter a bit in the farm belt to farmers, farm laborers their families and the businesses that depend on farmers in 2020. What a moron.

Actually: Agriculture and its related industries provide 11 percent of U.S. employment. In 2017, 21.6 million full- and part-time jobs were related to the agricultural and food sectors—11.0 percent of total U.S. employment.
I’m sure the percentage is much higher in some of the Midwest swing states.
But of course this would only matter in a close election. -

This is like thing number 459 for why Bloomberg won’t win. I don’t disagree with you, but he has bigger problems. -

Are much larger problems he has to deal with. These things need to be dealt with in order to even make it to the championship round. The farmers fiasco is just fodder if he actually gets their in the first place. -
Yet they kicked the little yella guy with decent ideas and no TDS to the curb.PandaOrangeChiknDuck said:

You’re missing the point. This isn’t helping the Democrats or him. You are just the typical liberal that just doesn’t get why Trump won and the Democrats are losing the narrative.ThomasFremont said:

If you read Bloomberg’s put down it was not just farmers but also American’s that worked with their hands on machinery. Coupled witth the fact that many Dems want to eliminate Union healthcare programs the damage is much more severe than you admit to.
The middle and working class have seen the arrogance and condescension of the Democrats. Most are fed up with their crap. Bloomberg just reinforced the things they have discovered.

I think his point is that Bloomberg is more than likely not even going to win the primary.DJDuck said:

I don’t think we needed him to tell us that. Bloomberg is not just hurting himself BUT is reinforcing stereotypes of Democrats as arrogant condescending elites that only come around every few years to get votes and don’t give a damn about the working and middle class. IMO Trump will get North of 15% of the Black vote in 2020. Blacks are beginning to realize they are being used too. Every slip up like Bloomberg’s and his ilk gives rise to future former Democrats.
