    Mini-Mike is doing himself no favors by standing up throughout.

    Standing up, he is the same height as the hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum sitting down. He appears to be about 4'8" tops.

    His weak attempts to re-write his record of racism, misoginysm, elitism and his irrational fear of other people's freedoms didn't really even matter, as nobody looking at him and listening to him can take him seriously as a contender for POTUS. Defending China was a boo-boo. Conceding that POTUS Trump's economic and foreign trade policies were highly effective, he said he just doesn't like Trump doing it his way (rudely and aggressively). Never mind that it's 100% effective.

    His abuses of minorities, his abuses of blue-collar workers, his contempt for Real Americans, his silly lies about The Constitution and Bill of Rights, his personal billion dollar gun confiscation vendetta, his mindset that he can buy people and force them to accept his style of facism simply because he is wealthy, are not what a normal candidate would highlight but that's where he went.

    The big takeaway was a puny, snot-nosed kid who never got over being bullied in grade school, willing to destroy the world for revenge.:cheers:

    MM just said the election is his schtick against POTUS Trump's schtick.

    Now he's says Bernie's socialism would destroy America, but he says he would vote for Bernie over Trump.

    A hateful little runt.

    Flat out says he'll buy the nomination, and fuck you if you don't like it.

    This guy lives in another dimension, in his mind, where he is God.

    Bloomberg, at Fox News Town Hall, predicts 'horse trading' and 'deals' at contested convention

    By Gregg Re | Fox News
    Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaking at a Fox News Town Hall in Manassas, Va., on the eve of Super Tuesday's pivotal contests, remarked matter-of-factly that he could ultimately win his party's nomination for president through "horse trading" and "deals" at a contested Democratic National Convention this summer.

    Bloomberg, who will be on the ballot Tuesday for the first time this primary season, made the comments amid new turmoil in the presidential contest. With rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar now abruptly out, Joe Biden has consolidated support among establishment Democrats hoping to present a more centrist alternative to democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.

    "The most likely scenario for the Democratic Party is no one has a majority -- it goes to a convention where there's horse trading; there's compromise," Bloomberg said. "It doesn't even have to be the leading candidate; it could be the one with a smaller number of delegates."


    Pressed by "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier and "The Story" anchor Martha MacCallum, Bloomberg noted that party rules require candidates to obtain a majority, not plurality, of delegates to win the nomination -- and permit "superdelegates," or party insiders, to weigh in if no candidate obtains a majority on the first ballot.

    "If the rules say you can swap votes and make deals, then you can swap votes and make deals," Bloomberg said. "And if you don't like those rules, don't play."

    It speaks volumes about the lack of character of someone who has to make fun of someones height.

    You could say the same thing about the morality of someone who feels the need to make fun of someone's name while they occupy the White House. Yes, I'm speaking of Trump the rump. This is the sort of thing that fifth graders do. Our President apparently has a stunted growth problem that left him feeling like the poor little misbehaved boy in the fifth grade. Kind of reminds me of his intellectual level.

    What about their hand size, the orange-ness of their skin, their hair, the tan suits they wear?

    That's a response. Not the same order of magnitude as the initiator. Wrong yes, just not nearly as wrong.

    In all fairness, Trump's hair does look like he just pulled his head out of a cotton candy machine.

    I get it and I wasnt just talking about Trump, but Obama as well. People pick the shallowest things sometimes to jump on and make fun of or demean someone else. Sometimes its funny, but sometimes its also not as funny...

    I noticed what you were talking about, and in this situation I was really just trying to be funny.

    blah blah, Michelle Obama's arms, blah blah.

    And it is kinda funny. My original comment wasn't really aimed at you or anyone in particular though I replied to Julius and probably shouldn't have. I was just saying that in general there is a lot of poking fun at people over things and there's a line where it goes from haha we're just messing around to you have now stooped to the same level (or closer at least) that you probably think of the said person you're insulting.

    There are a lot of other things to attack Bloomberg on that are worse than his height. He is not a good dude. But to attack his height is shallow. Bloomberg is 5'8. Somewhat short, but not that short.

    Trump says he is 5'4. I am 5'4 and I am a far better man than Trump will ever be. James Madison, the fourth president was 5'4. 10 other presidents were Bloomberg's height or shorter.

    This is middle school bullying at its best. Pretty fucking sad. More than one bully thought they could mess with me because of my height. They were all mistaken. I kicked one of them's ass all the way home up their porch, into their front door, where they actually said they were going to tell their mommy.

    Bully's like Trump are actually big wimps

    Did you just want to tell us you beat someone up? :ghoti:
    I'm in no way excusing Trump, I think it's all pretty middle school and kinda pathetic that old men haven't grown up past that point, but I suppose that's America.

    I wanted to show that bullies are really just angry over compensating wimps. It's a bad look for our country.

    Like the volume of The Complete Miss Marple that Mini-Mike sits on when he drives? :biglaugh:

    Nice try.

    Nobody has to make fun of the fascist little runt, but then he doesn't have to be a fascist little runt either.
