Bloomberg Team in Damage-Control Mode

February 21, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change Michael R. Bloomberg delivers remarks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at the “Our Cities, Our Climate: A Bloomberg Philanthropies – U.S. Department of State Partnership” working luncheon, at the U.S. Department of State. [State Department Photo/Public Domain]

“Wednesday night in Las Vegas,” writes Pat Buchanan, “Mayor Mike Bloomberg learned what it is like to be thrown up against a wall and frisked.” Why he didn’t come out guns a blazin’ is still a mystery as team Bloomberg is now in damage-control-mode, big-time. It also begs the question, Buchanan points out, why did Mayor Mike step onto the debate stage to begin with seeing that he’s not even on the Nevada and South Carolina ballots?

Pat continues (abridged):

Where does the race stand before Saturday’s caucuses in Nevada?

Sen. Bernie Sanders, his energy restored after his heart attack a few months back, his lines honed by a year’s repetition, was at the top of his game Wednesday night, fending off attacks and fighting back with a passion and ferocity that Bloomberg never exhibited.

With his popular vote victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, five national polls showing him taking the lead from Joe Biden, and contributions pouring in from his huge army of small donors, Sanders is the favorite to win in Nevada and man to stop.

But after Super Tuesday, March 3, he may be unstoppable.

A new Washington Post poll Wednesday shows Sanders with a huge lead among young voters and in a statistical tie with Joe Biden among African Americans. And he is flush with cash.

March 4 could see Sanders with an almost insurmountable lead that could have him enter the Milwaukee convention with a majority of delegates or a plurality so huge as to make it politically impossible for his adversaries to gang up on him and take the nomination away.

For who would be the beneficiary of such a robbery on the convention floor? The same Bloomberg his rivals described Wednesday night as a misogynist, sexist and racist.

Bloomberg’s campaign is sounding the alarm that Sanders could soon amass an insurmountable delegate lead if the Democratic field stays split, and is urging the other candidates to drop out.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Vice President Biden are being told that if they do not get out of the race and clear the lane for the mayor, they will get a socialist as their nominee, and the party will deserve the fate November will bring — a second term for Trump.

Bloomberg’s strategist Kevin Sheekey was pointedly warned by staffers on Thursday:

“If Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar remain in the race despite having no path to appreciably collecting delegates on Super Tuesday (and beyond), they will propel Sanders to a seemingly insurmountable delegate lead by siphoning votes away from (Bloomberg).”

As the other candidates cannot beat Sanders, Bloomberg’s campaign is saying, they should step aside and clear the field for Mayor Mike. This would call for a spirit of self-sacrifice and measure of esteem for the mayor not evident on that stage Wednesday night.
