BLOOMBERG CAN BEAT TRUMP

Where's Bloomberg? Brainwashed progressives have a possible Trump slayer but Bloomberg is on the bench. I'm not a fan of Bloomberg's liberal credential but I'm fed up with reckless Trump foreign policy and irresponsible spending with fiat money. So I choose Bloomers as political poison lite. We can always get a Bloomberg slayer later.Bloomberg should be on the debate stage talking about real policy issues like stoping endless wars and bringing fiscal discipline to Washington.Those two issues alone are possible Trump killers. The subjects are more important than adding another letter to the LGBTQ acronym or expanding benefits to illegals. The real vulnerability of Trump is his insane foreign policy lurches.His withdrawal from the Iran nuclear treaty and favoring Israel uber alles are juvenile decisions that have the potential for WWIII. And by the way North Korea was teed up for a resolution but he didn't value that. He walked away from the table.On the other hand Bloomberg could address those issues in a completely opposite way than Trumps actions. Bloomberg could promise a reentering of the Iran treaty. Bloomberg could promise North Korea an immediate elimination of sanctions in return for substantive renegotiations .Bloomberg could also quasi slap Israel in the face by promising a real peace process toward the Palestinians with the threat of an embargo of aid to Israel. What do we have to lose? I guess we will find out if Bloom gets in. But four more years of Trump could be worse. Trump did do a lasting chore that will pay off for years to come for which I'm grateful. He packed the Supreme Court with conservatives.The Civil Rights Act of 1964 will hopefully be dismantled by judicial sanity.

Bloomberg For President: Can You Trust A Zionist?

The Wall Street Journal has an article about former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg doing exploratory work about he running for the presidency.Bloomberg is unique. He doesn't need donors. He packs app. $5 billion of his own "no strings attached"war chest. Mike is a Jew. To me that doest make him unacceptable. After the evangelical Bush, the muslim Obama a Jew is just another character actor on the political stage. I wonder if Mike describes himself as " Jew" or "Jewish"? A jew is definite. Jewish is kinda Jew.But Bloomberg is a definite Zionist. Not all Jews believe there should be an Israel. Zionists believe in an historical Israel existence. That belief is in spite of meager evidence to support that idea/wish.And that's the difference. Referring to "no strings attached" Zionists are nothing if not bound up in strings of lies, myths and greed.And that's a problem. Of course the U.S. has backed Israel through many administrations so that effectively makes citizens of this country de facto Zionists.But Bloomberg as a potential president waves a distinctively worrisome possibility.Bloomberg can't be trusted.

Mayor Mike Bloomberg Wants To Be Vice President

According to a recent quote by Mayor Bloomberg, " Who want's a 5 ' 2 " Jew in the White House?". Well Mike, you do. But not necessarily through the front door.

His interest in national politics is a given. It's what he can achieve is the question? Which leads to my speculation that he would eagerly settle for a VP spot with either party. And then run later for the top spot on his own ticket in 4 or 8 years. His credentials would be first and foremost a personal commitment to spend a sizable amount of his own fortune. Say $250-500 million. Another asset would be his appeal to center-left voters and also his state of New York offers a bunch of electoral votes. His best liason would be with Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is a christian conservative and so would cover the right by center-right electorate.

This Judeo-Christian axis would bleed some of Obama's base who looks like the guy who will be the democratic presidential candidate. But I think Obama will win in the end.

Michael Bloomberg: Why & Why Not A Jewish President

Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg seems to be running for president. He's giving speeches about government policies across the country- Oklahoma and Texas included ! He has got the money, ambition and will be termed out of New York in 2009. New York City's budget this year will total $59 billion. That's more than several states combined. He's also Jewish.

Is America ready for a Jewish president? That is a cultural question. Culture springs from the geography of one's country. Jews have been without a homeland and a sustaining cultural base for thousands of years. They have been rountinely assimilated and rountinely expelled from many and varied countries in recorded history. But, America's diverse population is largely built on the outcasts of other countries. The culture of America is still a work in progress, seemingly defined by the last immigrant or special interest group.

But what makes America work is it's wealth. A lot of resentment, bias, dislike because of cultural differences can be smoothed over by a healthy economy and a regular pay check. So Bloomberg's control over New York's $59 billion makes sure that everyone gets a piece of the Big Apple. This includes the latest immigrant to the over paid City bureaucrat. Everyone must be happy. A Bloomberg presidency would almost guarentee a bloated, intrusive federal government

But what would happen if the money ran out in a severe recession or depression? Would the deep-seated, radical cultural roots assert themselves? And what are his feelings about Israel's security versus U.S. security? Could America be in more jeopardy because of a Jewish president's care for the rogue Jewish state?

Culture does count. Culture is more important than money. Countries based on culture last longer than cultures based on redistribution of wealth and intrusive governments. Culture is the low-cost producer of lasting relationships. The great struggle in America is all about trying to define a culture that has some limitations, shows some discrimination and is based on sustainable personal responsibility. With this in mind, Bloomberg would not really understand the presidential requirements.
