Michael Bloomberg's icky plunge reveals Democratic desperation
Washington Times, Nov 27, 2019, Tammy Bruce

How serious is the destruction of the Democratic Party? The entrance into the 2020 presidential race by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirms the party essentially doesn’t even exist anymore.

Mr. Bloomberg officially launched his campaign with an ad and is proceeding to spend $34 million in a television ad campaign, a record in presidential campaign history.

Politico reported, “Advertising Analytics tracked buys of around $34 million in reservations so far, touching parts of all but two of the lower 48 states. ‘This buy is MASSIVE,’ said Ben Taber, an analyst for the television ad tracking firm Advertising Analytics. … ‘I think it’s going to be the biggest buy of all time,’ he wrote. Then-President Barack Obama had a $30 million, one-week long buy in 2012, Taber said.”

Mr. Bloomberg’s entrance into the race makes it clear that the establishment is panicking about its hopes of dislodging the enormously successful President Trump. Perhaps they finally understood that the American people are enjoying a different kind of “woke.” Citizens are enjoying a new awareness of what good governance can bring, like a healthy, booming economy, historic employment impacting all Americans, and a confident foreign policy.

We are now woke to the fact that peace and prosperity, and a first couple that actually loves the country and us, is not only possible, it’s happening.

Both Sens. Bernard Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, two leading Democratic Party presidential contenders, are understandably critiquing Mr. Bloomberg’s entrance into the race. They argue that Mr. Bloomberg believes he can buy the nomination, and it sure looks that way.

But even more indicative of the general chaos in the Democratic Party and its perceived lack of principles and discipline is Mr. Bloomberg’s comfort with his company, Bloomberg News, telling reporting staff that they are not allowed to report on or investigate Mr. Bloomberg as a candidate.

NPR reported on a comment Mr. Bloomberg made last December to Radio Iowa when asked what would happen to Bloomberg News if he were a candidate: “I happen to believe in my heart of hearts — you can’t be independent, and nobody’s going to believe that you’re independent. And quite honestly, I don’t want all the reporters I’m paying to write a bad story about me. I don’t want them to be independent.”

Bloomberg News also noted it will not investigate or report on any of the Democratic candidates. Out of “fairness,” it says. But don’t you worry. In the same breath, the journalists there assure everyone they will continue to investigate and report on Mr. Trump. One can presume as a result, that they will also report and investigate on Republicans in general.

There are two ways to handle this situation: Either his company covers all politics, or they cover no politics. The other option is for him to sell the company.

I have heard from business associates for three years that Bloomberg is so furious Trump won the election no one is allowed to even say his name. And it has nothing to do with the President's policies. Mikey has wanted to run for President for years but believed no "NY billionaire" could win a general election. That TRUMP proved him wrong has tortured Bloomberg since 2016.

The disarray in the Dem party has given Bloomberg his opening. And now Bloomberg is hell-bent on spending whatever it takes to defeat Donald Trump any way he can.
