I do think Bloomberg could get right under Trumps skin because he's like a 100 times wealthier than him.

And then what? He vanishes in a cloud of sulphur? Or abdicates the Presidency then and there? Or says something very rude on twitter?

That's not how politics works.

But I genuinely think the media are going really easy on him this time.

Sure, they do this for Buttigieg too ; )

woah, I was merely offering an observation. I think trumps jealousy of Bloombergs wealth could be his Achilles heel.
As to what happens next, I don't know, I certainty didn't hypothesize a scenario where I laid out a political plan.

Saying something mean on twitter seems to be exactly how politics works, especially with these two.

Yea, they're nasty comments. Completely out of order, but with regards to serious scrutiny of policy, I think the press are going easy on him.

Yes, sorry, I made that sound more personal than it was meant to be.

You're right about the Bloomberg team playing the troll on twitter though. Libs eat it up, but are also planning to campaign against Trump entirely on the basis that he is rude on twitter (or that he's a racist sex-pest) by running... exactly the same thing, only with no charisma.


They are too dull and oblivious to realise that when Bloomberg staffers tweet things like this


The message it sends to voters is 'rich pricks in Manhattan sneer at you and think you are scum, and will spend billions of dollars to ensure that politics excludes you'

I'm not sure about that.

They are giving everyone else a much, much easier time. Like I noted, Buttigieg's health plan is catastrophic, half-baked shambles that will be extraordinarily unpopular, but apart from Jacobin and a publication which has largely been ignored since it moved left and no longer champions the Iraq war and racial IQ pseudoscience, I've not seen a peep about it.
 
The Democrats have done everything in their power to make Trump stronger. When Bernie is running against Trump he’s got a battle on his hands.
