Evaluating Michael Bloomberg from a Democrat point of view

After his first debate,
one thing is obvious:
 Michael Bloomberg
is weak at debating !

Although he sure has
bought lots of attention 
with $400+ million of ads !

Trying to think like
a Democrat would,
assuming they think
at all, here are
my thoughts about
Michael Bloomberg's
weak points,
as a 2020 Democrat, 
          versus 
an imaginary, ideal 
Democrat candidate 
in 2020, who would get
the nomination, AND
beat Donald Trump too:

Old, white male = strike 1

Multi-billionaire = strike 2

Very short height = strike 3

Lack of energy = strike 4

Lack of charisma = strike 5

Lack of debating skills = strike 6

Not a motivational speaker = strike 7

Racist -- NYC "stop & frisk" = strike 8

Supports "capitalism" = strike 9

Out of touch with U.S. farmers and 
  other blue collar workers = strike 10

Poor campaign slogan = strike 11
 ( "Mike will get it done" )

In baseball, 
three strikes
is a strikeout. 

Bloomberg 
gets 11 strikes 
from me !

Which goes to show 
that no amount of money 
can buy the debating
and speechmaking skills
needed to win an election.

( I previously
explained 
on this blog
that Joe Biden
had no chance
to become 
president 
because he 
bragged on video
about extorting the
Ukraine president
in 2016.

In addition, many
family members,
especially son 
Hunter Biden,
are shameless
grifters. )


Michael Bloomberg
lacks the personality,
and speaking skills, 
to inspire people, 
and win the 
2020 election.

Not to mention
that a billionaire,
who supports 
capitalism,  
is opposing 
the majority 
of Democrats,
who prefer 
socialism.

That leaves
Bernie Sanders,
and others, to 
get nominated.

Or ... maybe 
Hillary Clinton 
will come back to 
presidential politics,
like a Democrat
zombie who loses
elections, but never 
stops running ?
