as something akin to a “comedy routine,” city workers were spotted hoisting a standard room air conditioner into the side window of one of Bloomberg’s SUVs. It was an experiment, City Hall said at the time: a more green alternative to keeping Bloomberg’s SUV cool instead of his security detail idling their engines as they awaited the mayor’s return.
The disparity was on display at Wednesday night’s debate, when Bloomberg scoffed at the suggestion that he could quickly gather up and release his tax returns. Bloomberg has a history of dust-ups with blue-collar unions and unapologetic defenses of Wall Street and his own extreme wealth — his estimated personal fortune is pegged atOn Wednesday, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden took turns blasting Bloomberg’s wealth, including over his failure to release his tax returns.
A competing campaign provided other examples of statements that could come back to haunt Bloomberg as he tries to win over moderate voters.“one of the most misguided things we can do.”remarking, “The last time we really had a big managed economy was the USSR.”
Will he promote policies that are favorable to the working class? Billionaires tend to live lives fairly remote from the working class, as they can easily become marks for thugs. That does not mean that they necessarily feel no empathy for people with less money.
No more rich white guys!
But he EARNED that money! His father died when he was young. His mother worked 2 jobs. Since when is it wrong to be a SELF-MADE billionaire? Isn’t that the American dream! Sanders has lived off of taxpayers his whole life. Hus campaign is run off of poor peoples donations. 🤨
Like SenSanders is connected to the working class He’s never worked a day in his life.
“Empty Chair”Clint Eastwood supports Bloomie. How can any of these centrist hacks support him and hold their head up at the same time? NeverBloomberg
He should help other candidates instead
MikeBloomberg is an oligarch billionaire trying to buy his way through an election. We see right through his BS BernieWon Bernie2020
I really wanted to like him. but he just comes across as such an a$$hole.
Bloomberg has put $70 Billion on the table to rebuild the black ghettos. Where is Mr. Trump's $70 Billion?
He's a billionaire, disconnected? Nooo.
Working people are beginning to get their share continually but the Poverty population is still growing and all they get is handouts and just hate those feed the poor programs nothing but profiteering.
No Shit.. Yu don't say.. Who would've thought.. 🤨
Bloomberg is just another Trump. He saw how much Trump has profited from being President without divesting from his company.
Bullshit!!!
“Bloomberg is disconnected from working people” is the understatement of the year.
Yeah... Bloomberg is terrible and can't win. This is the most expensive act of masturbation in history.
And, in the end, the 1% comprise only 1%. We are the 99%
Could you do something like this on Bernie before Trump/Putin do it for us?
please give your campaign money to Pete Buttigieg, mr. mayor. sanders cannot beat trump; mayor pete has a fighting chance if all get behind him. it’s time for candidates to be truly selfless for the sake of our democratic republic🇺🇸🇺🇸
MikeBloomberg needs to follow the playbook of realDonaldTrump of 2016. Trump has a much worse past and he was elected. Democrats need to stop beating Bloomberg and forgo the purity test if we want to beat Trump.
You mean the working people who’s about to get 50%+ taken away by Bernie heavy taxes?
He is so OLD, he is disconnected from making fingerprints.
This guy is unfit to become the President. Just money can't make you win elections. You need strategy, charisma, tactics and above all a sound Russian connection.. like what Donald J Trump has.
He probably isn't going to get the nomination but, he'll make damn sure the nominee gets support.
The fucking understatement of the last century.
Bloomberg2020
Sunday morning and I have to go weld and fix farm and ranch fences. Run that one on Bloomberg!
A man worth 60 fucking Billion dollars is disconnected from the average Joe? Damn that is some insight right there keep it up guys...
He has positioned himself to double his net worth if ppl are stupid enough to pass climate change nonsense. He, Gore, Soros, Clintons will rip that money off
Why should people have to apologise for their wealth? Does AOC apologize for her new found wealth after pulling herself up by her bootstraps? AOC claims it's impossible and yet she did it. Does Warren,Sanders or any of the other rich politicians?
Why didn't he run as a Republican? 🤔🤔🤔
Wow, elibosnick totally called the air conditioning thing!
Bloomburg should drop out to save his reputation through just helping Dems do well. I don't want to hear anymore Bloomburg side show at the debates. They should be after Trump not Bloomburg
zen4ever2us He’s a total fraud !!! How he can be accepted as a representative for the Democratic Party is extremely embarrassing and repugnant . 🙏
Anyone else thinks this is all a huge waste of money? 🤷🏻♂️ As long as he puts just as much or more behind whomever the candidate will be... VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
How about covering ewarren in a positive news story rather than continually reporting on this guy who wants to use all the money he has to try to blind people into thinking he is the savior?
Bloomberg is a Wall Street infiltrator in the Democratic Party.
Looking forward to the mass arrests after Bloombergs victory.......
Trump ties, Epstein ties, and foreign mob ties. Bloomberg is not here to save shit other than his own tax cuts.
How about you vett NeverBernie . You don’t want to. If all of Bernies true dealings- how he’s a multimillionaire, connections you Russia were constantly in the media- maybe,just maybe you could be called fair.
Maybe Daddy Warbucks could buy a cute Lil orphan to take around to events and show off?
Democratic party is imploding. You almost feel sorry for them.......almost
He's a republican. Full Stop. He's got no business in this race other than to ratfck it.
I pledge allegiance to the NDA of the convoluted state of Bloomberg’s campaign for which it stands one bank account, indecipherable, with leverage and just none for all.
Why did the media all of a sudden forget PeteButtigieg exists, he won the most Iowa delegates, tied Bernie for delegates in NH, yet they focus on every candidate not Pete. I swear the media wants Trump to win & Pete bringing in new voters, I’s & R’s is a threat to that plan.
He won that debate and the crazy, eat it’s own, far left can’t stand it.
I don’t denounce you for your wealth! You worked hard for what you’ve got and where you’re at! I don’t denounce you for your jokes as I know I can be off color too sometimes. I want to know what you stand for and how you plan to get it done. It’s down to the wire with me.
He does a lot good too. He could get gun laws passed and promote climate change.
He became rich only by exploiting his employees. Now he claims he’s giving the money away. Yeah, to whom?400M in advertising Why didn’t he pay his employees a good salary then! Crooked, racist and lier just like the president. That’s why they know each other!
Bloomberg proves everyday he doesn't respect or care about CitizenShareholders. Corporations can't Vote People Do but this Oligarch Doesn't Care about that either. End SinglePartyRule VoteBernie2020 & Progressives all the way DownBallot.
His biggest contribution to the 2020 election is to
