re: Bloomberg quietly plotting brokered convention strategy - Politico

If Bernie has the most delegates be it plurality or majority and the democrats pick someone else on the convention floor, especially DINO Mike Bloomberg, they have absolutely no chance of winning in November as the burnouts are not going to stand for it and tolerate getting fricked two election cycles in a row.
It would be like the GOP convention picking Kasich over Trump in 2016.

Aggiehank said is for this type of primary election preference.
Big time libertarian thoughts here
Let candidates buy votes and lobbyists have a new vertical to poach.

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.
Man... this sure sounds a lot like election interference doesn’t it? I thought that was a huge deal?
Posted on 2/21/20 at 6:31 am to SD Tider
It’s a lack of good alternatives.
No one who supports Sanders or Lieawatha is flipping to him.
Buttplug isn’t seasoned and has little going for him besides being gay.
He has basically poached Biden’s support when Biden fricked up and can poach some of Klobochar’s support. But that is about the upper limit for him barring a major event.

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
Away from Twitter and the media, Bloomberg is basically where the Democratic Party is.
Combat climate change. Tweak the tax code. Improve health care coverage options. Make sure people get a fair shot at education and employment.
... but that’s not fun so we constantly hear about the lunatics.

The lunatic fringe may only be a small part of the base but it makes up a huge percentage of their elected officials and their big money donors.
People like Steyer, who was funneling money to people to push impeachment, are who have the influence and get the pols to do stupid shite that kills them with actual voters.
While Bloomberg will do well with those actual voters, the lunatic fringe along with blacks and Hispanics will likely sit out if he is the candidate.

Of course he is doing this.
This is his plan all along. He will likely help fund the other campaigns so they don't drop out.
He especially will pay for Warren to stay in the race because this helps divide the crazy socialist vote.

This is hilariously understated. All those words to say what literally every “moderate” candidate has promised: higher taxes, socialized medicine, more intrusive government.

If Bloomberg shows up on Stage with Abrams, and Abrams gives a 'unifying' speech pointing out the fact that though they love Bernie (his Ideas), he can't beat Trump...then a Bloomberg/Abrams Ticket is the Dems best shot.
Bloom can offer heartfelt apologies for past "mistakes", buy Bernie, promise AOC a high profile presence and vow to kick the Socialist ball down the road re Student Loan forgiveness, Obamacare resurrection, Basic Income, etc...and voila...the Dem Party has their shot.
They say money is the mother's milk of politics...to a large degree that is true. Anybody that don't think that Bloom is Trump's greatest foe is naïve.
Abrams WILL be on that Convention Stage.

You forgot absolutely hates freedom.
Asswipe regulated table salt and the size soft drink you can buy.
Now, should we get to his "common people shouldn't have guns" statements?
You're right. Bloomberg is a typical Democrat. A fascist piece of shite that detests personal freedoms for the masses.
One of the AT LEAST 60 million America-hating, Democrat scumbags that need to be rounded up and dealt with quickly and harshly.

your language is contrived.
quiet?
plotting
im not for bloomberg but your language is ridiculous.
everyone knows its unlikely that any candidate gets to 50%+1 before convention.
someone has been floating that bloomberg wants hillary vp. this encourages women to vote for him.
your clipped in bit is just pandering to the ignorant.
