Chutzpah… someone making their candidacy about buying an election against a candidate whose actual campaign slogan is
Not me. Us.
No one candidate is capable of taking on Donald Trump and the billionaire class alone. There is only one way we win — and that is together.
‘all of us, not the billionaires’...
Mike Bloomberg sees Bernie Sanders as the only 2020 Democratic candidate who threatens his possible nomination
Mike Bloomberg’s campaign said on Tuesday that it sees Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as the only threat to Bloomberg winning the Democratic nomination and defeating Donald Trump in 2020.
Dan Kanninen, the lead state strategist for Bloomberg’s campaign, led off a briefing with reporters by saying Bloomberg and his team view Sanders as the only other candidate who has a shot at being “sworn into office next year.”
With his sights set on Sanders, Bloomberg is expanding his ground game and opening 50 more campaign offices nationwide, including 10 more in the crucial state of Florida, the campaign said on Tuesday. The campaign has more than 130 staffers throughout the state who are engaging with voters and trying to persuade them to back Bloomberg in a primary that’s scheduled for March 17.
Ok, good. Bloomberg is giving tons to candidates to help them get elected. But now he is going on the offensive against the strongest candidate in the field. And the best chance to defeat Trump.
So is Bloomberg really about beating Trump?
The Bloomberg campaign on Monday launched a digital ad that linked Sanders to supporters known as “Bernie Bros” who attack Sanders’ critics via social media. Sanders has repeatedly disavowed such practices.
Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg’s campaign manager, took aim at Sanders with what appeared to be a threat of releasing opposition research against the longtime Vermont senator.
Mikey, Mikey… we already know that you or anyone can’t do anything but throw the kitchen sink at Bernie because he has been consistently consistent.
Let me tell you Mikey. You pushed Stop and Frisk. I know ‘i can’t breathe’ is part of your legacy. Now you are giving what to you is ‘spare change’ to buy black and brown votes. And you think this will give you what you want. The Presidency.
Why? to settle some country club bet between you and Trump?
i ain’t havin’ it… and neither is the rest of ‘US’
