So Rob will you vote for Bloomberg if he is the nomination?
Yes, Robtard, are you going to vote for him?
I say you won't. You will do what I might do and vote Green Party or Libertarian.

Besides being richer, if that matters to voters.

How about getting laws changed to extend your time in office because NY "needed" a man of his talents to handle the meltdown..........
This guy is what all Democrats complain about Trump x10.
Let me add this guy is the nightmare of american politics where we see how our system allows $$ to rule, no subtlety no behind the curtains literally right in front of our eyes.

Wait a minute though... CDTM just said Bloomberg is "Trump-lite" in a previous post. How can someone who is ten times worse be a "lite" version of said person? Surely CDTM knows what he's talking about, right? 😉 😂
Originally posted by RobtardRegardless of Trump being a low end billionaire or high end millionaire, Bloomberg is in the elite wealth bracket if being worth multiple tens of billions. That's a major difference imo.
TBF, Trump might not be a billionaire, 'just' a high-end millionaire.Tony Schwartz says Trump's only worth a "fraction" of what he claims, it's all part of his smoke and mirrors show.

They'd be in the same tax bracket.
Also, due to Trump's tax overhaul:
In 2018, billionaires paid a smaller portion of their income in taxes than average Americans. That's the first time that has happened in history.
Billionaires paid 23% of their income in federal, state, and local taxes in 2018, according to an analysis of tax data by the University of California at Berkeley's Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman for their upcoming book "The Triumph of Injustice." The average American, meanwhile, paid 28%. -snip

In theory, Bloomberg could literally overthrow the government of several countries economically. Heck, he could literally finance a civil war in several countries, theoretically.
It just boggles my mind how much destruction a singular hyper-wealthy person could unleash if they were inclined.
