So, Michael Bloomberg, former NYC Mayor who bounces from one political party to another like a major leaguer whose team loyalties change with the seasons, is considering tossing his hat into the 2020 presidential elections, this time as a Democrat. He started out career-wise as a Democrat, then a Republican, then an Independent and now he’s comfortable wearing the Democrat label, again. But he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Miami of getting their nomination. He doesn’t seem to understand that the Democrat Party he just rejoined has morphed into, or rather descended down the ladder of morality since he left it years ago. Poor Michael, he appears to be out of touch with political reality. Where has he been during the Obama years? Doesn’t he see that the party of his early years is no longer democratic? In addition, he has heavy negative liberal baggage that will be exhumed to defeat him. His endorsement for Obama came just days before the 2012 elections and he then criticized the president for his poorly thought out economic policies, for failing to bring people together and to provide the leadership expected from the White House. Not a pretty background if running against the likes of Joe Biden, Hillary or Cory Spartacus Booker, all cunning, lying throat slitters, in the forthcoming presidential nomination campaign. Mike is really a good guy. He just doesn’t fit the mold of the modern Democrat. Remember what Leo Durocher said: “Nice guys finish last!”

And let’s not forget the fact that Bloomberg is not only Jewish (Two Democrat strikes against him right there!) but he’s also supportive of the State of Israel and President Trump’s move of our embassy to Jerusalem. Back in 2012, his unsigned editorial in the Bloomberg View, entitled, “Obama’s Betrayal of Israel at the U.N. Must Not Stand,” attacked Obama’s abstention on the Security Council Resolution declaring Jewish settlement in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria illegitimate. His pro-Israel stance is a no-no in the party now being led by the likes of Palestine terror supporter, Congressman Keith Ellison, the Vice Chair of the Democrat National Committee. Nor does it sit well with the newer, younger, violent progressives in the party represented by the latest member of Congress from NYC, Alexandria Ocasio-Lopez, who advocates from the radical Left where the power in the Democrat Party now rests. Bloomberg also cracked down hard on the party’s thugs, the Occupy Wall Street crowd, back in 2011. Liberals called his actions then, “disgraceful.” These Leftists, led by Socialist-Marxist, Bernie Sanders, another possible contender in 2020, will suddenly recall to the media these politically suicidal “faux pas” of Bloomberg. He doesn’t fit the Radical Progressive mold.

Do you recall how the Progressives attacked Mayor Giuliani for his “stop and frisk” laws that lowered crime rates in the City to all time lows? This successful attack on crime and killings was not only continued by Mayor Bloomberg, he doubled down on it, increasing its use by the NYPD by over 500 percent. He also suggested that minorities were stopped “too little.” The homeless crisis, now unstoppable, that currently plagues the city, began under his watch. During his term he proposed a solution to simply buy these unfortunates one-way bus tickets out of town. How would that sound on an opposition’s TV ad? In order to give himself a then illegal third term, he had the City Council change the term limit law permitting him to run again. Put that on the election plate of the nation’s now rabid Leftists! The 2020 candidate to face off against President Trump will have to jump through the progressive flaming circle of fire to win. And Bloomberg doesn’t have that slimy ability to get through the process. He’s sort of straight and truthful. That’s not the formula that will get him over the top in the Democrat primary process.

In his non-political mistakes he also wore the cap of nutritionist when he ruled against large bottles of sweetened sodas being sold in his city. In his zeal to win over the health advocates who urged him to curb the consumption of sugary drinks and foods linked to obesity, he banned containers of such liquids. In 2014, the state’s highest court ruled against him stating in its 20-page opinion that the city’s Board of Health, “exceeded the scope of its regulatory authority” in its outlawing such beverages. He banned the use of trans fats by the city’s restaurants causing them untold hardship and grief. He doesn’t have “Saychel,” the Yiddish term for common sense.

Poor 50 times over billionaire, Michael Bloomberg, lives in a different world than he did growing up a Democrat back in the 60’s and 70’s. America was a different country then. There was no overt hatred of one political party against another. Democrat neighbors and relatives enjoyed the company of Republicans and vice versa. Politicians weren’t shot at or attacked in the streets by political opponents. But that’s the reality of today. And Michael Bloomberg, the recently minted Democrat, will have to learn the lessons of the street before he gets chewed up and spit out by his new compatriots. He actually believes that the new breed of Democrat would vote for him. That because he gives them millions of $ they like him. That the radicals who chase their political enemies out of restaurants, shoot them and send them poisoned filled envelopes will overlook his religion and wealth. Good luck, Mike, we knew you when…..
