WASHINGTON — Only three candidates out of the more than half dozen vying for the White House have a viable path to the nomination, a senior official for the Mike Bloomberg campaign told reporters Tuesday.

Bloomberg states director Dan Kanninen said that “we are really down to a race where there are three people left who could really be considered viable to be sworn into office next year, and that’s Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg and Donald Trump,” he said in a conference call with reporters. “And of that bunch, only Mike Bloomberg has a chance to beat Donald Trump in the fall election.”

The blunt statement provides a window into how the campaign views the other established frontrunners, including former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. When asked if he misspoke by not mentioning Biden — who was leading the polls nationally until low vote totals in Iowa and New Hampshire knocked him off — Kanninen said it wasn’t an oversight.

Pretty arrogant.  That's what money can buy.

I've said it before, and it bears repeating: there are two goals in the up-coming election.  The first is to oust Trump, so he can be criminally prosecuted.  The second is to restore Democratic policy concerns, such as healthcare, the environment and restoration of the public protections that Trump recklessly tossed aside.

Bloomberg is a Republican.  We are not so disparate to oust Trump that we would replace one Republican with another Republican, are we?  Are we so anxious, or is Trump so bad, that we would be willing to accept Cheney and Rumsfeld all over again, with lies, kidnapping, torture and rape, as somehow superior to the Trump criminal enterprise?

Bloomberg is a Republican.  One thing we know about Republicans is, they all lie.  They represent special interests, in opposition to the general interest.  With such a conflict of interest, in order to get votes they must lie.

Bloomberg, in Democratic-sheep's clothing, is still just a lying Republican, out to get votes.  Mark my word: just as sure as he backed stop and frisk, red-lining, and opposed women's rights as mayor of NYC, he will get us right back into wars in Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan, fancy torture, kidnapping and rape, and be on the Neo-Con bandwagon all over again.

Going from Trump to Bloomberg, while it's not exactly going from the frying pan into the fire, is at least going from the fire back into the frying pan.
