Adam Brodsky has an idea, “How Bloomberg can save NYC now“:
“Everyone’s got a suggestion for Michael Bloomberg’s future, now that he’s stepping down. Well, here’s one he’s not likely to consider — but should: create a genuine two-party system in New York by building a credible Republican Party …”
A bold idea that has its pluses and minuses.
On the plus side is his money, which is the lifeblood of politics especially under our Tammany system of government. If Bloomberg were genuinely interested in having open political discussion of ideas he could certainly use his fortune to help bankroll opposition candidates to the leftist machine.
On the minus side is with his money comes a price: allegiance to Bloomberg. He’s spend a lot of his own money pushing various pet issues like gun control and I cannot see him doing this without putting conditions on candidates. It would be less of the Grand Old Party and more of the Bloomberg Party.
At this point it is all academic as I have seen no indication he is interested in going this route.
“If Bloomberg were genuinely interested in having open political discussion of ideas . . .”
Psychopaths are interested in open discussions? News to me. Bloomberg has the mentality of a rapist – witness his “SAFE Act”. Rammed down our throats, overnight, against our will. Bloomberg is a RAPIST!
Terrible idea. This guy Bloomerg is a genetic anti (hatred of firearms is in his genes – I have seen this) , and would be absolutely incapable of ever seeing this issue from our perspective in this lifetime.
What a waste to be such a rich person and to spend so much money on initiatives that will never save one life!
If Mr. Bloomingidiot were to spend the money he wasted supporting gun control on mental health instead, maybe he could make a difference!
