I wonder if the "counsel" Clinton's received from Kissinger includes "if someone like Sanders is elected, overthrow them in a military coup"

anyway sorry the question implicit in elections for me is "Who do you want to fill this office?" None of the Above is an answer.

The question implicit in an apartment search is "where do you want to live," but when the beachfront bauhaus mansion isn't in my price range I don't sleep on the street.

Yeah m.a., no president has ever affected my life as much as my domicile and never will.

does anyone fucking like bloomberg? I don't think so. I don't know why he's rattling these chains.

I still want to see him get booed like Brady at the Superbowl

bloomberg has some genuinely redeeming qualities. pretty good on public health and climate change

a sanders/trump/bloomberg election would be the strangest in nearly a century, not only because 2/3 of the candidates would be nyc jews.

more thought experiments: would bloomberg take away more votes from sanders or trump??

― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, February 12, 2016 3:05 PM (15 minutes ago)

i'll give you a hint: he was elected mayor of NYC

k3vin k., Friday, 12 February 2016 20:21 (eight years ago) link

if bloomberg runs all you will hear about is 'soda tax'

akm, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:22 (eight years ago) link

p. sure you mean 'pop tax'

mookieproof, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link

are we really taking seriously the idea of a whey-faced Lieberman clone with money running for president and making an impact?

nobody outside of NY gives a fuck about Bloomie

and nobody in Florida gives a shit about Cuban Wonder.

dc journalists who value civility and telling both sides love bloomie, that's about it

mookieproof, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

who would win in a sanders / hillary / bloomberg / trump / cruz election?

Mordy, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

i wasn't saying he would be a serious candidate. i was saying that on balance he would take more votes from the democrats than the republicans

k3vin k., Friday, 12 February 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

soda's pretty popular, too. all sanders would have to do is slam a Big Gulp down on the lectern at the start of his first debate and it's over. plus i mean the guy seems like he could use some refreshment up there.

the thirteenth floorior (Doctor Casino), Friday, 12 February 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link

think you have him mixed up with Rubio

DC-journalist-style civility included smashing up Zuccotti Park and its denizens, of course

even better then if rubio's in the race. "May I offer you some of this delicious refreshment, sir?"

does anyone fucking like bloomberg?

Some center-left NYC good-government types do. Someone on my Facebook page who is pretty politically aware (was an early De Blasio booster in the mayoral primary) posted that Bloomberg would be the most effective President in decades.

last few effective presidents have been disastrously effective fyi

i just remembered that sometime around the year 2000 my old internet buddy and i came up with a bunch of raps for "Henry K," inspired by or heavily plagiarized from the dayglo postmodern rapper Sushi K in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

I'm disappointed in myself for not catching this the first coupla times I scanned the thread updates.

yeah, an acquaintance who works as a homeless advocate says that for whatever his good intentions are or are not, di blasio is so hapless as a manager that she'd rather have bloomberg back
