Enjoy.)The Democrats are desperate to nominate anyone but Bernie Sanders, and Mike Bloomberg is their guy. In fact, new reports from the former New York mayor’s campaign would not deny Hillary Clinton as his running mate. Sound crazy? It really isn’t if you consider Clinton has a vast ground game already set up, and they both support nationwide gun control. Well, Americans gave them a rude awakening. You’ll love this.
The first reports that Hillary Clinton is back and will be named Mike Bloomberg’s running mate came over the weekend from sources speaking with several media outlets. Fox News reported GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said: “[I]t reveals that the former New York City mayor lacks confidence in his ability to defeat New Hampshire primary winner Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, on an even playing field.”
“First it tells you that Bloomberg realizes he cannot win the nomination against Bernie without cheating, so he’s going to bring Hillary in,” McCarthy said, “cause remember, Hillary cheated Bernie last time to win the nomination.”
“Secondly, it tells you about Bloomberg himself that he believes he can manipulate democracy. Remember what he did as mayor. He got the city to change term limits. He doesn’t believe the Twelfth Amendment applies to him; he’ll just move to Colorado,” McCarthy added.
McCarthy was referring to how Bloomberg and Clinton both live in New York, while the Twelfth Amendment says that a state’s electors in a presidential election can only vote for a president and vice president provided “one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”
It should be noted Mike Bloomberg poured $100 million dollars into the 2018 mid-terms “to buy Congress for the Democrats.”
Bloomberg’s communications director did not deny the rumored matchmaking effort.
“While Bloomberg would push for stricter controls on access to all types of firearms, on top of everything else, Clinton has been clear in her support of using executive power to secure gun control whether Congress likes it or not,” Breitbart reports.
Americans sounded off over the Bloomberg/Clinton ticket and the overall response was not pretty.
Actor and Trump supporter James Woods said Mike Bloomberg had a “death wish.”

“Just when you thought it couldn’t get any WORSE with Bloomberg. Mrs. Super-Predators meets Mr Stop And Frisk. Bloomberg thinks THIS is a GOOD idea? Shows how totally OUT OF TOUCH with reality he is,” tweeted Black Authority.

“I literally can’t imagine a more pathetic ticket to go against Trump; a racist billionaire and someone who has already lost an election to Trump and is universally hated by Berners. But no doubt the Dem elite and DNC would love it,” tweeted Steve Cotterill.

Mike Bloomberg with Hillary Clinton as his running mate would make the DNC elites very happy.
“Mike Bloomberg could team up with Hillary Clinton to try to take down President Trump in November — by making her his running mate,” The New York Post reports. “Bloomberg’s internal polling found the combo ‘would be a formidable force,’ sources close to the campaign told the Drudge Report Saturday.”
Many in the Democrat base are scoffing at these reports, but this pair makes perfect sense to those in control of the Democrat Party. Bloomberg and Hillary would run as “moderates” which is something a Sanders campaign cannot do. And anyone with half a brain knows you cannot win a general election for the presidency by running as a “Democratic Socialist.” So, stay tuned, this race is about to get very interesting.
