Mini-mike
Since mini-mike has been spending more campaign dollars than all the other candidates put together, I’m being constantly told in political commercials that Bloomberg worked economic miracles in New York. Ironically, the best thing that he did was continue Giuliani’s policing policies – which he has no disavowed. Maybe, if Bloomberg raises taxes he can fix the US economy as he spends it on crony capitalism to shut down our oil and gas industries.

SOCIALISM: IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL LEAVE. Study: New York, New Jersey Face Largest Population Decrease In The U.S. “Meanwhile, Arizona, Idaho and Utah were the fastest growing states, according to the study.”

That has more to do with the Mormons fucking like bunnies than anything economic.WestlinnDuck said:

One thing that's coming to light with the rise of Bloomberg is how much influence he has on people without even needing to strong-arm them. Despite his history of allegedly sexist and racist comments/policies, major women's and minority advocacy groups and dem politicians who are alligned with those causes are coming into the fold and even outright endorsing him in some cases. The NYT has a pretty good pulse on this story, and they've yet to find any indication that his campaign is actually soliciting these endorsements or otherwise promising any amount of financial support in exchange for endorsements.
He has so much money, and has donated so vigorously to past candidates and interest groups, that it's just widely accepted that pledging allegiance to Bloomberg will bring about future windfalls. He doesn't even have to ask.
Consider those ramifications if he were to ever become POTUS. He doesn't even need to outright threaten anyone. If you're a member of Congress, spearheading his legislation could mean a fully funded campaign for your next Congressional race. Conversely, opposing his platform could mean $100m going to your opponent's coffers. Guys like Kennedy, Reagan, and Trump were/are rich. But Bloomberg is in another stratosphere of wealth. It's pretty fucking scary just how powerful of a tool his wealth could be if he ever assumes office.

Policy always trumps the person
I guess you could say the same about evangelicals and Trump
The Democrats are desperate to beat Trump. If they think mini Mike can do it the who cares if he is exactly who they said they didn't want for three years -
This is no different than when the NOW gang ignored Bill clintons accusations of rape and sexual predatory behavior. There is a pattern of behavior on the left. If the politics are right, democrats will support the devil. Not just hold their noses and vote, the groups who claim they are victims will stridently support the candidate who embodies everything they hate and protest against.GreenRiverGatorz said:One thing that's coming to light with the rise of Bloomberg is how much influence he has on people without even needing to strong-arm them.

ON the left side of the aisle it is all about politics and power. They don't like you living how you want to live and believing what you believe and they will vote for the devil to get that control over all of us. -
Astute point. This is definitely an exclusively leftist hypocrisy issue. I'd be hard pressed to find any examples of conservatives selling out their values for political gain.Bendintheriver said:

It's more about hating Trump, and the possibility of unseating him, than their love for Bloomberg. There is a large wing of the democratic party that would vote for the second coming of Hitler, or even Satan's heir if it meant removing Trump from the White House.GreenRiverGatorz said:One thing that's coming to light with the rise of Bloomberg is how much influence he has on people without even needing to strong-arm them.

Imagine one side can break the law and get away with it.

Please, by all means list those Conservatives. I can provide a list of Republicans who lost their job because Republicans thought what they did was not right. I can also supply a list of rats who were the worst of the worst and kept their jobs.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Come on, give it a shot.
I can start with Barney Frank with a gay brothel out of his house. A rat congressman who lied about his service in the military. A president who raped a woman and sexually abused several.
You are next up. -

Of course you will pass. Cowards always do. Biden is up to his ass in corruption. They blame Trump for Biden's family corruption rather than Biden. Then Biden flew off to China to grift for some more chicom graft for his kid. Of course its money well spent. Once you buy a Biden he stays bought.
