Mike Bloomberg Is Hiring So Many Operatives, Local and State Campaigns Are Starving for Help
Bloomberg entered the presidential race in November, and has since spent more than $300 million of his own money in his effort to secure the Democratic nomination. Much of the focus on Bloomberg’s historic spending spree has been on the TV ads he’s running in at least 29 states, helping boost him into the top tier in polls and driving up the price of air time for other candidates.
Beyond pushing out his competitors, though, Bloomberg’s spending is having a shockingly disruptive effect on Democratic politics throughout the country: He is hiring armies of staffers and canvassers in nearly every state in the country at eye-popping salaries, poaching talent from other campaigns and progressive organizations that are now struggling to fill jobs
Progressive groups, local campaigns, and presidential operations are either losing staff to the Bloomberg campaign, or are struggling to hire people because the former mayor has picked so many political operatives and canvassers up, according to interviews, emails, and messages from dozens of people involved in hiring.
Eating their own.
Top financiers want Biden to drop out so Bloomberg can win: ’He has no chance’
“I feel sorry for Biden,” said Leon Cooperman, a billionaire hedge fund investor who has supported Democrats in the past despite being critical of President Obama. “He should withdraw; he has no chance.”
“This wouldn’t even be a conversation if Trump conducted himself in a normal manner,” said Cooperman, referring to the president’s sometimes volatile disposition and penchant to name-call political opponents, in addition to dealings with the Ukraine that earned Trump an impeachment (he was later exonerated by the Republican-controlled US Senate).
For those reasons, Trump maintains historically low approval ratings, meaning a Democrat who can attract enough moderates can win the general election despite a strong economy.
“I believe Trump should not seek a second term unless he will change the way he treats people and talks to people,” Cooperman said. “Trump has every reason to take a victory lap — unemployment for everyone and minorities are at a record low, there is constructive dialogue with China, and the stock market is booming.
MSNBC's Ari Melber calls out Tom Perez, DNC for changing debate rules to help Bloomberg: 'It's not fair'
MSNBC anchor Ari Melber called out the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as well as its chairman Tom Perez for changing its debate rules that could pave the way for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to land a spot on the debate stage.

This speaks volumes, what was it Ms. Omar said... " it's all about the Benjamin's ".... and yeah people need to make a living...but damm I wish more folks understood that the "passion" we see supporting certain candidates and causes is a paid Job, not a labor of conscience or Love.

Only person I have seen who called for this is Bill Barr. And i believe he is right. Calling out an ongoing case by the highest person in the land gives the Dems fuel to call for yet another investigation before they even have evidence. Just the tweet allowed them to make a multitude of allegations well before the truth has a chance to get out.
He should be able to speek his mind but as POTUS, especially in the current environment, sometime you need to remain silent.

Not everyone has the need for something...anything to happen now so they can "speak on it"

What did they say in private prior to...?
Anyone who has played, or even watched team sports knows tactics appear one way but are often not.
"Appear weak when you are strong" = "appear divided when you are not." Bait taken.
I've seen this play 100x so far during this game.

- Trumps accomplishments are the big wins. Making the coup conspirators pay is secondary.

The black hats must pay but they are secondary to the Trump agenda.

It was the ongoing sham Russia Russia Russia Mueller investigation that cost that House turnover.
It worked then and that's why they're trying it again. They are looking, as we speak, to find something else for which to start an investigation on Trump.
