The Michael Bloomberg Twitter account circulated a doctored clip the morning after the Nevada debate, edited to make it look like the former New York mayor had a winning moment in an otherwise panned debate performance.

“Real Billionaire Promotes Fake Video” isn’t an improvement over “Fake Billionaire Promotes Fake Video.”

Bloomberg only confirms my belief that you cannot become a billionaire if you are not willing to cheat, bend the law and outright lie. The smarter you are at those three things the richer you will get, it has nothing to do with “hard work”.

I dunno. I hope this helps clear the minds of Democratic voters.

Bloomberg is EXACTLY what Trump always WANTED TO BE, but was too stupid to be.

That alone should dissuade you from voting for Bloomberg, who is NOT a Democrat, nor a Republican.

Bloomberg is a PLUTOCRAT to the core, putting on whatever political label he feels will work to extend and increase his Media Empire and protect his MONEY.

Bloomberg wants you to believe he is FDR, when he is really just another Rupert Murdoch.

Stupid stunt … lazy effort - can see what they tried to do - but this was a stupid cheap execution of an effort to make Bloomberg look better - there were other ways to have gone about this - and would not have been such a grotesque distortion of the reality of the moment in the debate.

The “edited” video simply emphasizes the lack of response.

It’s not misleading.

Perhaps, it would be even more effective if they used Boomerang filter on the others not rebutting him.
That way audience would know it was being hyped not misconstrued.

The higher you go the more corrupt it gets.

What’s that infamous GFIII quote?

“Finance is the gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger”

I used to work for someone who would proudly boast that he had started 18 businesses in the last 25 years.

He never figured out why I’d laugh.

Now 20% (maybe more) reportedly have already turned in their ballots, but ok.

It also helps if you’re willing to inherit.

The first generation builds a fortune, the second generation consolidates it, and the third generation squanders it. That’s not written in stone, but it’s a good rule of thumb.

Bloomberg would have been way better off just saying that the reason he got beaten up so badly was because all the other candidates are afraid of him. That would at least partially be true, unlike this lame attempt to make it appear like he actually won anything last night.

Mike, please withdraw and use your billions to support down ballot races for DEM candidates.
