Bloomberg quietly plotting brokered convention strategy - Politico

Oh shite. Here comes the war of the left.
The SOB is trying to buy/steal the election in plain sight.

LAS VEGAS — Mike Bloomberg is privately lobbying Democratic Party officials and donors allied with his moderate opponents to flip their allegiance to him — and block Bernie Sanders — in the event of a brokered national convention.
The effort, largely executed by Bloomberg’s senior state-level advisers in recent weeks, attempts to prime Bloomberg for a second-ballot contest at the Democratic National Convention in July by poaching supporters of Joe Biden and other moderate Democrats, according to two Democratic strategists familiar with the talks and unaffiliated with Bloomberg.
The outreach has involved meetings and telephone calls with supporters of Biden and Pete Buttigieg — as well as uncommitted DNC members — in Virginia, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and North Carolina, according to one of the strategists who participated in meetings and calls.
With Sanders’ emergence as the frontrunner in the presidential primary, Democrats in those states have recently raised the prospect that the democratic socialist could be a top-of-the-ticket liability.
“There’s a whole operation going on, which is genius,” said one of the strategists, who is unaffiliated with any campaign. “And it’s going to help them win on the second ballot … They’re telling them that’s their strategy.”

Election laws bar elected officials acting as delegates from taking cash bribes.
That doesnt apply to private citizens who are delegates .
Toss in the superdelegates who are aligned to no one and you have a convention that can literally be bought and sold for completely legally.
quote:
Contributions to an individual delegate are not subject to any per delegate limit, but all contributions received by a delegate or individual seeking to become a delegate must be from permissible sources. Note that contributions to a delegate from the committee of a presidential candidate receiving public funds count against the candidate’s expenditure limits.

At least Hillary did it “behind the scenes” and rigged it beforehand...

Please no, Bloomie will get shat on by Trump hardcore. No Dems want to vote for that a-hole. I'd prefer the devil I know, as would any other Dem with a brain. If this happens, I've lost all faith in the DNC.

There is a certain elegance to that strategy that appears to be missing here.

HRC is teaching him well. If Bloom gets the nomination, she expects to be named his VP. If he gets elected, she will become prez because it was her turn the first time, so he will be suicided.
If he selects her as his running mate it will be the worst decision of his life and a life threatening decision.

I don’t think it’ll matter. Elegant or not, do this twice in a row and the Bernouts will stay home.

Sanders. Is going to destroy the democrat party. If they steal the nomination from him, his supporters stay home. They give him the nomination and older Dems will not vote for a commie.

From the clips I saw, doubt the Dems support Mike like they secretly plotted for HER. The hard left at that debate hates Mike, doubt the Dems rig it for him, but you never know who they’ll pull the string for to screw Bernie

I find it hilarious how relatively well he’s doing in the polls despite being the antithesis of the modern Democrat party. DU is furious

I love how they refer to the rest of the clowns as moderate. There isn't a damn thing moderate about any of those idiots. The only difference between them and Bernie is Bernie is a proud out of the closet communist. The rest of them are still somewhat trying to hide it.

Didn’t work out so well in 2016 with Hillary doing it behind Sanders back. Should be easier in plain sight I guess.

A brokered convention that ends in the person with a plurality of votes losing is the most entertaining destruction of the Democratic Party ever
