Bloomberg is really bad and stop and frisk was horrible. There were months where the number of black men stopped and frisked was more than the black male population in the entire city.
I am definitely not helping Bloomberg run up the score here in Illinois if heās the candidate

Heāll hire actual smart lawyers rather than loltrumps army of morons and will slam open and stride through the door that obama unlocked and trump has leant on. Youāre saying you hope that a sociopathic narcissist (required to become as rich as he is) will use his near infinite and utterly unchecked power without doing as much harm as trump would with the same power but 1% of the competence and drive. Is a Lazy and truly darkly evil king > Driven and somewhat evil king? Not sure but despite the ānoā it is worth a conversation.

Money alone doesnāt mean shit.
We arenāt that far removed from Jeb!
Bloomberg is a racist old N.Y. Jew with zero charisma. Iām a little worried because itās what I do, but come on people, the Democratic base (as opposed to the Beltway dipshits on the teevee) is not going to turn out for this guy.

Heās too short. Ever since the famous Nixon blew it because he looked like shit on TV, no little wimpy dude has won except Carter and not by much and that was like beating Pence if Trump resigns.
No offense to shorties and if you have big enough guns it can make up for it. JohnnyTruant 2028!

I hope youāre right.
Oh I dunno if a short wimpy looking guy canāt win the nomination. Iām saying he has no chance in the general.
Nah. Literally anyone has a massive massive edge on Donald. Heās the most damaged political candidate in American history full stop. His supporters will vote for him, but literally everyone else will vote against him.
Bloombergās money is absolutely worth more than his height. The guy can spend 200M a week from the day he gets the nomination to the day of the election. He can literally crowd out the Trump campaign and reduce their advertising by a significant amount just by driving up the price of an ad.
Itās going to be a full court press too. Heās absolutely not too good to do to GOP base voters what Trump did to african americans on FB. If youāre going to be in the dirtiest election in American history it helps to be a sociopath with unlimited money.
Iāll never not be convinced that a big part of why HRC lost was her desire to not just win but win the right way. I donāt see that in Bloomberg. I think if he gets the nomination his #1 goal is just to win and I suspect heāll do anything to get that done. Not a bad thing in this race at all.
I can see how people are worried after Bloombergās blowout victory last night.

I just donāt think a lot of people understand how close, āYou can tell enough about someones behavior from their skin color that we should stop and frisk even more african americans,ā is to full blown eugenics. Combine bloombergs tendencies with his potential access to all the facial recognition and big data social media scraping of the federal government and weāre literally drawing live to a full blown nightmare.

I have a couple of Jewish friends in their 60ās who Iām quite certain voted for Trump. Iām reasonably sure they would vote for Bloomberg this time around. So we got that going for us. I can definitely see Bloomberg buying his way into office. But I do think his VP choice is a bigger deal than it normally would be. Iām thinking weāll be getting a failed Presidential candidate as a running mate regardless of who wins the nomination. Or do we get Tim Kaine again?

He did #goonchapo so heās likely a bernie bro.
Yeah, no, I absolutely get it. To say heās viewing the problem incorrectly is a huge understatement. The way to fix āblack crimeā is to fix black poverty full stop. Povery = crime.
Part of the problem from a mayors perspective though is that poverty is a national issue, and youāll never, no matter how much of the cities budget you dedicate to it, solve that problem.
Bloomberg wanted NYC to be the best city in the world when he ran NYC. The way he chose to get that done was to expel the minorities (who like most places in the US were disproportionately poor) from the city with official harassment to make way for gentrification. And today NYC has insanely low crime rates because there are by comparison no poor people left to commit those crimes.
I want to be super clear here, nothing about that is OK. At the same time I feel like every city in America over the last 20 years has been doing the same shitty tragedy of the commons math.
