    "Bloomberg suggested transgender rights would sink Democratic campaigns in comments recorded last year in New York. He’s tried to distance himself from similar comments he made in 2016."



    "And yet, Bloomberg’s campaign published a new video on Tuesday that pledged the former New York City mayor believed in “inclusivity” for “LGBTQ+ youth,” featuring fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi declaring, “Mike is so incredibly sensitive to this issue.”"


    Bloomberg’s sensitivity was far less apparent at a forum hosted by the Bermuda Business Development Agency on March 21, 2019, in Manhattan, where Bloomberg derided Democratic candidates for talking about transgender protections.

    “If your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,” he said.

    Bloomberg made a similar remark about a “man wearing a dress” in 2016, but his comments uncovered Tuesday — remarks he made less than a year ago — came amid the early stages of the 2020 Democratic primary."

    This guy adds so much flavor to the Democrat primaries. I think he's toast already but we'll see. The Democrats have a way of ignoring blatantly anti Democrat platform statements from people that are Democrat.

    You REALLY gotta wonder who's been leaking this information.

    I'm thinkin' it's the Bernie camp, but mmmmaybe it's Biden. It's targeted, and it's coming at a slow drip so that Shorty B suffers the Death of a Thousand Cuts.

    I brought up the possibility in another thread that media and Dem politicians are making so much money and getting so much tv time on the back of the Trump presidency they don’t want it to end. I am becoming more convinced of this. Add in the fact they believe they can get an even more rabidly progressive candidate elected in 2024 just based on historical party switch after two term incumbents and I think what we are seeing now is forfeiture in 2020.

    Funny thing he's right, the tranny thing doesn't play well in most of the population. Not a good thing for someone who has to share a stage with rabid progs who've been pandering to them though. This race is going to be a disaster. We keep telling them the bridge is out, they keep telling us, full speed ahead!

    The guy who joined the Democrat party as a never trumper? I’m surprised the Right doesn’t love this guy.

    It's actually kind of nice for him that it's all coming out at once and people could forget half of it. Not saying that he's leaking itself ha, but I think it works to his advantage vs. slow bombs dropped periodically until the election.

    Very true, SW.

    These Bloomy Stories are coming at a Fast Pace.

    Pretty soon, PF is going to need a separate section for these Bloomberg threads.

    It is getting to the point where you can't even log on without 20 Bloomberg Threads being spammed in Current Events.

    That said, Bloomberg is Toast.

    If Bernie gets screwed again and the DNC rigs the nomination against him, his followers will start getting violent and Bloomberg will be the target.

    You can bet the DNC will rig it though. They did it last time.

    He is right. Identity politics might appeal to the loudest voices but it certainly doesn't appeal to the majority who will stay silent until it is time to cast their vote.

    It's not really leaking so much as intense background study. I think it's the Bernie folks. They have a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands, kinda like crowdsourcing.

    Which is exactly why he won't be the nominee.

    Geez, you guys get sucked in by anything these days.

    I didn't get sucked into anything. I think Bloomberg is toast. I think Bernie will win the primary. In your obvious zeal in jumping to conclusions you missed this part of my post, "I think he's toast already but we'll see."

    Still incapable of normal conversation? You are showing who you really are.

    Either way this election will be the best ever. It's Trumps last.

    Democrats sold out to rich white oligarch, whom they claim to hate, and then wonder why no one believes a word they say....

    this is an attack at him before the critical super Tuesday, this is not about November it's to keep him out of November.

    Left-wing media has been focused lately on criticism of Bloomberg. Dems must be nervous that "Short Man Worse" is overshadowing and diluting "Orange Man Bad".

    Michael Bloomberg should not be able to get the nomination on the basis of purchasing his way onto the ticket.

    Mini Mike (5’4”) has deeply offended:

    blacks
    women
    farmers
    factory workers
    transgenders

    Am I missing any? The list keeps growing.
