This is probably one of the scariest things I’ve seen in all my years of observing politics. Here is a man who is on the Democratic national debate stage tonight because he bought his way in.   He didn’t campaign or talk directly to real voters.  He just threw out a bunch of money that he had no other use for.   Just as people who live on the interest and dividends from unearned income,  he’s trying to win the election on unearned–bought and paid for–supporters.    The question is:  Can Bloomberg really buy America?  Are we that gullible?

Bloomberg doesn’t even have to come up with a set a policies or beliefs.  He can just hire some experts who will do that for him.  They say he hasn’t been a strong debater.  Money could change all that.  Wearing an earpiece is illegal. But,  with billions of dollars to spend, it’s highly possible he could acquire a high tech hearing device invisible to the naked eye.  Watch and see If he pauses even slightly before answering a question.  They claimed Hillary wore an  earpiece  in the debates with Trump, but it was never proven.  Anything is possible when you can afford the best.

Former employees say that Bloomberg fostered a corporate climate that was degrading to female employees.  As an example,   in a lawsuit,  one employee claimed that when a female employee got pregnant, he asked her “What the hell did you do a thing like that for?” . On another occasion, the lawsuit said, Bloomberg berated a female employee who had trouble finding a nanny. “It’s a f—— baby! . . . All you need is some black who doesn’t have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building.”

To overcome his appalling history of  mistreating female employees, he could  hire  some great drama coach to show him how to fake emotions like empathy,  compassion, and kindness.

Can Bloomberg buy America?  It remains to be seen.
