We have to face facts, put all the bullshit aside

Journal by fustakrakich

You know who is the only person on the list that has a chance, right? This has nothing to do with opinion, mine or yours.

But we do know now that Hillary doesn't need to run, so no need to bring her up anymore. Even a bunch (over 20%) of Bernie supporters will go for it

It's probably the only peaceable way out of this

    Bloomberg would have had more of a chance if he had stayed out of the debates entirely. You can play "Who Said It" for the following quotes: Trump or Bloomberg:

    “If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdales.”

    “What do I want? I want an exclusive, 10-year contract … And I want [oral sex] from Jane Fonda. Have you seen Jane Fonda? Not bad for 50.”

    “I know for a fact that any self-respecting woman who walks past a construction site and doesn’t get a whistle will turn around and walk past again and again until she does get one.”

    “The [British] Royal family – what a bunch of misfits – a gay, an architect, that horsey faced lesbian and a kid who gave up Koo Stark for some fat broad.”

    Bloomberg computer terminals “will do everything, including give you [oral sex]. I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business”.

    On being asked to name a sport that doesn’t use balls: “Lesbian sex.”

    “I like theater, dining and chasing women. Let me put it this way: I am a single, straight billionaire in Manhattan. What do you think? It’s a wet dream.”

    “There’s this enormous cohort of black and Latino males, age, let’s say, 16 to 25, that don’t have jobs, don’t have any prospects … don’t know how to behave in the workplace where they have to work collaboratively and collectively.”

    “I think [the police] disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.”

    Obamacare is a “disgrace”.

    Trans rights are about “some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter”.

    All Bloomberg.

    Looks qualified to run against Trump. I will be supporting Bloomberg now.

      I know! Some of those are funny!

      Sports without balls...

      Fuckin' great!

      I'm missing the old days when Good Time Charlie Wilson from Texas said about the beautiful girls he'd hire, "You can teach 'em to type, but you can't teach 'em to grow tits."

      Of course now, with modern surgery, you can do anything, right, barb?

    Wait, Warren's entire diatribe this week about H-FL was about an irreverant joke about Princess Anne and Duchess Sarah?

    Heaven forbid a yank tell a joke about the royals.

    C'mon, are women really triggered by Warren's call to arms? Her baiting of Bernie and Bloomie would be enough to make me vote Klobuchar ahead of her.

      Not only that, but the only evidence he said it was the author of the booklet that contains the quote claims he said it. But whether or not he actually did say it, I'll leave it to the reader to determine if said quote about a member of the royal family makes him "a billionaire who calls women [...] ‘horse-faced lesbians," in the sense she was implying and her audience would have understood it.

      Warren was neck to neck with Bernie and even pulling ahead in many polls. Then she went full identity politics and mudslinging. Now she's, at best, a sideshow act.

      Moral of the story - what idiots in DC think works and what actually work are not the same thing. Identity politics and political correctness is cheap and easy. It's also god damned annoying.
