Mike Bloomberg's Bought and Paid for GOP Senate Majority will vote against witnesses

There you have it folks. When you raise massive amounts for Pat Toomey and other Republicans you get Moscow Mitch in charge and America is doomed.

1. What does this have to do with Bloomberg?

2. The silver lining....

No witnesses on either side helps candidate Biden.

6. It helps every democrat

Republicans won’t do their jobs.

Bolton will testify by book excerpts starting in a few weeks.

7. I have my doubts if Bolton has any bombshells left after

the video has surfaced of Bolton praising Trumps phone call with Zelensky.
Bolton is in tough situation, if he includes spicy details in his book, he makes tons of money.
On the other hand he will become a pariah in the GOP where he has made a great living.
Did you see the mansion he lives in?

8. What do you expect him to say

In a public interview with a foreign journalist? That Trump is trying to take a bribe?

He told his staff to go to the lawyers. That it was a drug deal. That’s all on record.

What he briefly said in public, off the direct topic, hardly matters.

9. My wild ass guess what Bolton would say as a witness under oath is..

That Trump wanted to pressure Ukraine to investigate corruption because Ukraine has this reputation of one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and that kills 2 birds with one stone because it would help him politically in election 2020 if Biden becomes his rival, IF something was uncovered about Biden's role in Burisma.

10. We will see what is in the book

4. He cost us crucial Senate Seats including Pennsylvania in 2016

by endorsing Pat Toomey and giving him credibility on the gun issue. That was the deciding vote on witnesses.

3. You might want to take your Bloomberg concerns up with the voters...

...since complaining endlessly about him here won't change anything.

FWIW - Bloomberg has been a reliable supporter of Democrats as well.

5. I will spread the word where ever I please. Bloomberg helped cost us that seat

and America is on its last strokes tonight because of it.

11. ...

Support Democrats
Don't bash Democratic public figures

[liskddksil]

12. Bloomberg didn't follow that rule when he voted against

John Kerry in 2004, supported candidates running against Democrats Katie MgGinty (Pennsylvania), Elizabeth Warren (Massachussets), Shenna Bellows (Maine).

13. He does seem to get a pass

On his very recent strong support for Republicans

I have never forgotten he helped Tea Party Tom Cotton take a Senate seat from a Democrat.
