Most people know that tonight,they before the Nevada caucus, the remaining Democratic Party 2020 hopefuls including Michael Bloomberg will debate in Las Vegas.
While it promises to be somewhat entertaining as Bernie and the rest train their fire on Bloomberg.
Here is an advance look at tonight’s debate, brutally summed up by a single cartoon:
Does that about sum it up?
Bernie and rest are at least on the stage because they qualified to be there whereas Bloomberg bought his way to the stage.
Bernie and his followers are mad, and won’t sit still for this usurpation, at least it’s my guess.
That said, that is not the worst side of Michael Bloomberg, this is:
Bloomberg Blows It, Says Elderly Should Not Get Full Medical Care to Save Money
Michael Bloomberg may have just lost his shot to get the Democrat’s 2020 nomination based on a resurfaced video in which he says the elderly should not get full medical care in order to save money.
Bloomberg says we should deny healthcare to the elderly.
“If you show up with cancer & you’re 95 years old, we should say, Go & enjoy. There’s no cure, we can’t do anything. A young person, we should do something. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”

Here’s a partial transcript via Newsbusters:
“If you’re bleeding, we’ll stop the bleeding. If you need an x-ray, you’re gonna have to wait,” Bloomberg told a Jewish family, explaining his view on how our medical system should work.
“All of these costs keep going up, no one wants to pay any more money,” he continued. “And at the rate we’re going, health care is going to bankrupt us. So not only do we have a problem, it’s gonna be [unintelligible] and say which things we’re gonna do and which things we’re not. No one wants to do that.”
“If you show up with prostate cancer, and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy…Lead a long life. There’s no cure, we can’t do anything.’ A young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”
Given that the largest group of regular voters in this country are senior citizens this kind of statement will not go over well, at all.
Not to mention the fact that it is morally wrong. If doctors have the ability to heal someone, they should heal them regardless of age and regardless of cost.
So far what we have learned about Michael Bloomberg is that he is an elitist who disdains farmers, factors workers, anyone who owns a gun, and pretty much anyone who disagrees with him.
