'Bloomberg Just Bought The @DNC'


Geee

The DNC will no longer require candidates to reach a threshold of the number of donors in order to qualify for its Feb. 19 debate in Las Vegas, according to the outlet.

The change would seem to help Bloomberg the most of any Democrat since the billionaire is funding his campaign entirely on his own. Bloomberg contributed $180 million of his own money to his campaign in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to his campaign’s Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, which were released Friday. 

The DNC’s filings show that Bloomberg contributed more than $1.1 million late in 2019 to the party and a joint fundraising committee the DNC operates.

The records show that Bloomberg made three donations of $106,500 to the DNC itself and another $800,000 to the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the DNC and state Democratic parties.

Several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates accused Michael Bloomberg of buying his way into the Democratic Party debates Friday after the Democratic National Committee announced changes to its debate-qualification thresholds that appear to benefit the former New York City mayor.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, businessman Tom Steyer and a spokesman for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders all slammed the rule change, which Politico first reported.:snip:

Democrats Are Now OPENLY CHEATING And Don't Care, Leftist Democrats TOO WEAK To Actually Stand Up. DNC members are now on record plotting rule changes to stop Bernie Sanders from being able to win the democratic nomination.

While most of us know that the DNC was cheating in 2016 what they are doing now is the most brazen and overt cheating they have done yet.

The Democratic National Committee is changing the rules for debate requirements to billionaire Mike Bloomberg can enter the race without having to qualify. In the past Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, Tom Steyer, and Cory Booker have all called for rule changes to support a more diverse debate but the DNC said no.

Now that Mike Bloomberg needs help though, they come running. And more interestingly is how Bloomberg recently donated over a million dollars to the Democratic establishment and then all of a sudden they let him debate.

Far Left democrats have failed to actually stand up for themselves for the most part with Bernie Sanders being relentlessly smeared in the media and cheated by the establishment. If they can't defend themselves why would I stand up for them?

Republicans did not want Trump to win but conceded when it became clear he was the choice the American voters.

Now the RNC is seeing record numbers and massive success. It seems clear that the Democrats will re

Steve Bannon lays out a shocking scenario of the real reason behind Bloomberg’s investment of $2 billion in politics

If Steve Bannon is correct (and I think he probably is), Michael Bloomberg has no intention of occupying the Oval Office; his real plan is far more devious and frightening. Bloomberg is investing a small fraction of his fortune (Bannon says it is now $70 billion) in a “leveraged buyout” of the party, installing himself as the oligarch who calls the shots, including the selection of the candidate to win the presidency.

Forget the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the “Mike will get it done” ads saturating the airwaves and the Super Bowl ad touting gun control. According to Bannon, with the addled and corrupt Biden faltering, Bloomberg is fighting a holding action to prevent Bernie Sanders from capturing the nomination and thus taking over the party and converting it into an explicitly socialist party. Win (unlikely) or lose, a Sanders candidacy would hand leadership of the party to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who will be old enough for the presidency in the 2024 election. Bannon notes that she has become the face of the Sanders campaign in Iowa while he was tied up in the impeachment trial. She is an outright socialist intent on nationalizing the means of production and is therefore incompatible with Bloomberg’s intent to run the party and the country by financing its political campaigns and operating expenses with outlays that don’t strain his net worth but enable it to outspend the opposition.:snip:

CAN BLOOMBERG BUY IT?

:snip:

• In just over a month, Bloomberg spent more than the top 2020 contenders, including Trump, for the whole final quarter of 2019 combined, according to FEC data. He also outspent the entire RNC and DNC.

• With 2,100 paid staff, Bloomberg has three times as many as Trump, five times as many as Joe Biden and more than twice as many as Elizabeth Warren, according to data the campaigns provided to Axios.

• He pays his staff more than any other 2020 Democrat, and offers housing if they have to move to New York City, according to a campaign official.

• “He’s building his own infrastructure [and investing] in the tech and data to really build his own operation,” a Bloomberg campaign aide said.:snip:

Democrats Are Selling Their Souls In Desperation To Defeat Trump, Bloomberg Is Buying The Election. Michael Bloomberg has dumped over 400 million dollars into this campaign and so far that is chump change to him.

Bloomberg is worth around 62 Billion dollars and represents everything Democrats should oppose. But money talks and now Bloomberg is sitting in the polling aggregate at 14% or 3rd place nationally.

BLOOMBERG BOX WATCH: ‘Mini Mike’ Qualifies for Democratic Debate in Nevada

Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor trying to become the shortest individual elected president since the five-foot-seven William McKinley in 1896, will finally get the chance to stand up to his Democratic rivals on a debate stage. It remains to be seen what sort of contraption the multibillionaire will deploy in an attempt to conceal the truth about his diminutive stature at Wednesday's debate in Las Vegas.

Here's How Bloomberg Managed to Finagle His Way onto the Stage for Wednesday's Las Vegas Debate

Billionaire presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has qualified for the Democratic debate in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, setting the stage for a good old-fashioned fur-flying, eye-gouging, leg-breaking donnybrook that will be can't-miss TV.

Bernie Sanders, especially, is locked and loaded and ready to stick it to Bloomberg, whom several candidates believe has gotten something of a free ride from the press. And Sanders and his supporters, who are seeing conspiracies under every rock and behind every tree, already think the Democratic National Committee has rigged the criteria for debate qualifications to favor Bloomberg.:snip:

The One Thing Bloomberg’s Money Can’t Buy

 

Money will buy a lot in this life, but not everything. It can’t buy you love, as the Beatles reminded us in 1964, the year Michael Bloomberg earned his electrical engineering degree from Johns Hopkins University. Another commodity that can’t be purchased is time -- “the least thing we have of, ” in Ernest Hemingway’s memorable formulation.

This year Bloomberg has embarked on a great social experiment to see if money can buy a Democratic Party presidential nomination -- and he’s already spent in excess of $400 million of his own money in that quest. First, though, he faces a hurdle that also belongs on the list of things money can’t buy: a winning debate performance.

Bloomberg Once Called Excessive Spending on Campaign Ads ‘Obscene’

'There's a limited amount of ad time you can buy. It becomes dysfunctional; you annoy people with ads'

Collin Anderson

February 18, 2020 4:55 PM

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has already poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his last-minute presidential bid, but the 2020 Democratic hopeful once described multimillion-dollar ad campaigns as "obscene" spending that would "annoy people.

The Bloom Is Off

The attacks on Michael Bloomberg came early and often at Wednesday’s debate in Las Vegas, but none of them, of course, touched on his infamous “kill it” comment to a pregnant subordinate. No, the party of abortion at all stages wasn’t going to touch that one. Instead, Elizabeth Warren focused on Bloomberg’s thoughts about “horse-faced lesbians” and “fat broads.”

Bloomberg has paid advisers millions of dollars to prepare him for just such moments, but he still acted like he was answering the challenges for the first time. He came off as cold and flat-footed — the unlikeable technocrat trying woodenly to make himself palatable to a left-wing audience with half-hearted answers.

It wasn’t until late in the debate that he seemed to loosen up a little bit and hit Sanders with a zinger about being a socialist millionaire with three homes. “What a country,” said Bloomberg. Of course, that didn’t go down well either, since the Democrats don’t think much of America. One would never know that the American economy is thriving from these Democratic gloomfests, where the candidates never feel slightest compunction to grapple with positive economic indices under Trump. Talk about an out-of-touch party — its rhetoric befits the Great Depression, not an economy in which the stock market spikes as unemployment plunges.

Bloomberg was the only candidate who came close to acknowledging how ridiculous the Democrats sound as they debate the virtues of socialism. But that comment elicited a groan, too.
