Mike Bloomberg Now Cribbing from Jeb! Bush's Playbook of Ultimate Victory

In 2016, wealth Establishment c**ks decided they'd really Connect With The Young People by doing some of that Twitter Snark but on a cutting-edge, ultramodern platform -- billboards.

unhinged

Well, that effort to troll Trump with billboards went so well for Jeb! Bush and his C**kpaign Manager Mike Murphy that Mike Bloomberg has decided to commit his own Act of Love.

Trump had a rally in Phoenix this week. We made sure there was a nice gift waiting for him! 😍 pic.twitter.com/a8juK5ATIM

Should go about the same way now.

Oh wait -- Mike! is already going the same way as Jeb!

NEW POST-#DEMDEBATE POLL ahead of #NevadaCaucus:

• @MikeBloomberg’s first-choice support fell 3 points nationwide, to 17 percent and behind @JoeBiden.
• His net favorability fell 20 points, the only significant movement among candidates.

And you can't troll the Master Troll:

A snippet of Trump's analysis of the Dem field.

"Mini mike has spent almost 500 million dollars in order to get embarrassed by Pocahontas. And she’s mean, isn’t she? Do you see that anger on her face. That anger on her face. Jumping up and down."
— Asma Khalid (@asmamk) February 21, 2020

But Micro Mike isn't just buying billboards -- he's paying congenitally unfunny leftwing scolds to make memes for him:

Wow: The Bloomberg campaign is hiring more than 500 “deputy digital organizers” to work 20-30 hours a week and receive $2,500 a month, documents show. The job? Promote Bloomberg to everyone in their phones’ contacts by text and make social-media posts. https://t.co/umRwisOygH

Mike, I have an idea for you. I had to listen to *four* of your radio ads on my way home, so it is fresh in my mind, and these stupid billboards emphasize the point. Ready? Okay, here goes: tell me what you stand for. Use short, declarative sentences and active voice.

And no, trite phrases like, "we need to get it done against demagogues" and "we need to rally around our values as children of God" won't do it either.

Firm positions, precisely communicated. Go for it. You'll find it liberating.

100 Not that Asma Khalid would include the context of those allegedly scandalous Trump rally quotes, if she even got it, but Trump started with talking about his Apprentice show and then segued into how reality show producer Mark Burnett had said to him that this election was 100x better than all reality shows combined. Then Trump went on to describe the "cast" of this crazy, funny reality show campaign season, ending with, "but it's not a show, this is real." It was an effective way to both make the debate a big joke and then get own to the business of reviewing his real accomplishments and real goals.

So, one big picture takeaway from this Trump rally is how low-energy it feels compared to 2016 (and even 201.

No doubt - there are plenty of superfans here. Lots of applause for the usual lines. But a number of people have already cleared out.

And while you may not like it, it worked, and saved hundreds of black lives every year."

268 Who thinks, "Yeah, you eat you're steak burnt!!!eleventy!!" is an insult? That is not going to resonate with anybody but someone paid by Bloomberg to shill for him.

Of course, these goofs are too ignorant of history to know that a certain famous American Civil War officer was nauseated by the sight of a bloody steak. Dude was ultimately successful in bringing the Confederacy to heel. Hopefully, the spirit of Ulysses S Grant helps in defeating the current generation of Democrats.

269 Look, I'm being realistic here. Bloomberg, if you are listening, my vote can be had for say...$10k. I got kids in college.

And in the privacy of the voting booth I promise I;ll vote for you. Swearzies.

272 Paid social media "influencers" are a byproduct of the digital age. But they are not supposed to mask themselves without some disclosure if they are known as reporters or journalists or editors. That is where the problem lies. And it is a very big problem because most people are too busy and too uninformed to catch the propaganda cues right in front of their faces.

276 His point was why didn't he expose it while he was an Astro. Why wait until you weren't part of the organization anymore. I don't know if snitch is the proper insult but I don't respect the guy.

Yeah, sure. Except someone from the Red Sox shouldn't be shit-talking about any of this.

Yeah, and Ortiz is probably the single biggest beneficiary of MLB looking the other way with SOME steroid users.

So... I guess I can understand why he doesn't care for "snitches."

What does that even mean? I skied in jeans all the time when I was a teenager. Jeans and cuddleduds, and an orange ski jacket with lift tickets on the zipper.
Posted by: Gem at February 21, 2020 08:16 PM (65i3Q)

I don't know what cuddleduds are, but when I was much younger than 29, we would spray our jeans with that waterproofing stuff, buy a ski jacket and hit the slopes.

291 Wait a sec.

Bloomberg had $50 billion. But the turnout is only around 126 million votes. He only needs half of those to win. That 62 million votes. That's $800 bucks to buy every vote he needs.

$1,000 bucks for my vote Bloomie. I swear. A steal. just knock it off with the billboards and ads.

''Mike, I have an idea for you. I had to listen to *four* of your radio ads on my way home, so it is fresh in my mind, and these stupid billboards emphasize the point. Ready? Okay, here goes: tell me what you stand for. Use short, declarative sentences and active voice. ''

Can't watch a hockey game here in Columbus without those annoying Bloomberg commercials. It's getting really old.
Posted by: Tuna at February 21, 2020 08:15 PM

Mike will get it done! (TM)

What has he said he wanted to do?
Confiscate Guns
Ban Big Gulps
Ban Salt in Your Food
Ban Smoking
Harass Minorities

I expect him to be the Totalitarian the Democrats always pined for.

Posted by: rd at February 21, 2020 08:26 PM (+0uDE)

294 Seriously, that billboard cost $10 k.

I'll sell my vote for $10k.

the advantage of giving me the $10k rather than buying the billboard, is Bloomberg is assured of getting one vote via wasting $10k. I'd like to see the billboard accomplish that.

295 "Donald Trump eats his steak burnt - Mike Bloomberg eats his steak medium well" is a bit condescending and snobbish. There are probably more people that eat there steaks well done, medium well or medium than medium rare (the so-called proper way) and Trump likes catsup on his, which probably has Bloomberg clutching his pearls.

After he wins in 2020 he can give free helicopter rides to most in academia, much of Hollywood and members of the media to celebrate!

300 Whatever bad you want to say about Trump, he has a clear and easy to understand agenda.

What did McCain offer in 2008? Another MidEast war?

Romney in 2012? A donor class whore that would only do 98% of what Obama would do?

Ideas and agendas really do matter way more than ad dollars. I will concede though money matters a great deal in down ticket races where things like name ID are an issue.

301 291 Inspector Kemp,
Funny post but ironically while the estimated fortune is 60+ billion, that is related to his stock price which if he sells, ironically will drop the value of the stock (more of it out there--potential change in control, etc.) A lot of times the wealthy can get into a liquidity crunch when they spend all of the liquid assets and need more. Not quite the same as a margin call but forced sale of illiquid assets usually trims quite a bit off the wealth.

302 I like burnt steak.

Posted by: mercenary13 at February 21, 2020 09:57 PM (r1mci)

303 Unlike Bloomberg, Trump won't try to tell you how you should eat your steak.
