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??

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?

i'm not sure that actually helps!!

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 12 February 2016 20:26 (eight years ago) link

nobody outside of NY gives a fuck about Bloomie

Οὖτις, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:26 (eight years ago) link

and nobody in Florida gives a shit about Cuban Wonder.

it depends if 'the other 2 candidates are dangerous nuts' wd gain any traction

but yes Mike B has always made my skin crawl

first Jewish president: blustery lefty > whiny closetcase

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

Οὖτις, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:30 (eight years ago) link

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

we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Friday, 12 February 2016 20:31 (eight years ago) link

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.

o. nate, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:38 (eight years ago) link

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

Bloom County

Οὖτις, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:44 (eight years ago) link

bloomberg would get like 2% of the vote if he ran, tops

it would be some wealthy new yorkers and some journalists voting for him

marcos, Friday, 12 February 2016 20:47 (eight years ago) link

wealthy journalists more like, Ron Fournier types

i can envision a 'Save Your 401k' propaganda campaign from Blankfein Democrats

impossible to predict

Bloom(berg) County?

Darkest Cosmologist junk (kingfish), Friday, 12 February 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link

I kind of think Bloomberg making noises about running is just to score points with his bank CEO and hedge fund manager buddies by playing potential white knight, plus a shot across Hillary's bow to not indulge too much in Wall Street-bashing to deflect Sanders's attacks.

imo bloomberg would at the very least be a more effective president than bernie sanders

iatee, Friday, 12 February 2016 21:02 (eight years ago) link

i mean, sure. so would ted cruz - both of them have way more common ground with the party controlling the legislature.

xpost what in the hell

pretty sure it could only benefit clinton's campaign if people came to associate her with the dudes from office space smashing the shit out of a computer. classic right-o-sphere imaginarium where they assume "emails" is one of the first two or three things the whole world associates with hillary clinton.

Outside the lobby I came across Bill Kristol, who had predicted a big Rubio win in New Hampshire, and asked him who had won the debate. ‘Who knows?’ he said.

lol how does Bill Kristol even figure out how to put his pants on in the morning.
