Policies that do not persuade citizens to change the current\npolls in favour of Bernie Sanders&#8217;s candidacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elizabeth&nbsp; Warren, the co-candidate\nfor the nomination of the Democratic Party and having so far put forward its\ntax reform as the main pillar of its political campaign which is in favour of\nemployees and against wealthy citizens, representing in this way the \u201cleft\nwing\u201d of the Democratic Party together with&nbsp;\nBernie&nbsp; Sanders, not only causes\n&#8220;terror&#8221; in the incomes of the rich citizens, but at the same time\nhas adopted with some variations the implementation of the policy of a National\nHealth System without, however, daring to present fully configured out its\nspecific program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders of the Democratic Party, either openly or with hidden polls,\nknow up to what height can reach poll rates in US society for the candidacy of\neach of these three candidates, and whether they can win in the November 2020\nelections, the current US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the President&nbsp;\nof&nbsp; the&nbsp; United&nbsp;\nStates&nbsp; House&nbsp; of&nbsp;\nRepresentatives,&nbsp; Ms&nbsp; Nancy&nbsp;\nPelosi, took full advantage of the opportunity that was presented to her\nby launching all the procedures both in Congress and in the House of\nRepresentatives with a view to bringing the current US President to justice and\nwith regard to the issue that came to the surface and concerns the Ukrainian\nPresident and the favours that appears to be asking him the President of the\nUnited States in relation to the investigation concerned the son of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure for referring to Donald Trump&#8217;s Justice will last at least\nten months to complete including the presentation of an irrevocable decision to\nbe made. A development that has further mined the campaign and the moral status\nof current US President Donald Trump, while creating conditions for disgrouping\namong the Republican Party&#8217;s supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that the referral process to the committees of the House of\nRepresentatives and in Congress continues and the President Trump will have to\ndecide whether to testify or if he wants to go to trial there was no better\ntiming to claim the Democratic nomination by Mike Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event was expected to evoke the fury of other candidates for the\nDemocratic nomination as they believe that their own party used them as\n\u201crabbits&#8221; to make the most critical decisions later and since so far will\nhave been exhausted in terms of persuasion in US society their political\nprograms and their polling rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes without saying, that if the hidden and obvious polls of the\nDemocratic Party indicated victory air against Donald Trump for one of the\nthree candidates for the nomination of the Democratic Party (Biden,&nbsp; Sanders&nbsp;\nWarren&nbsp; respectively), the\nDemocrats would not have intended to throw in the battle the candidacy of the\nrespective &#8220;heavy artillery&#8221; that&nbsp;\nMike&nbsp; Bloomberg represents for the\ncharacteristics that shows the current US President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the nomination of Mike&nbsp;\nBloomberg&nbsp; for the chair of the\nPresidency of the Democratic Party shows adaptation of the nomination to a\ncandidate whose candidacy presents about the same characteristics as the\ncurrent US President Donald Trump and not an adaptation to the policies that\nthe candidate is advocating for the chair of\nthe Democratic Party\u2019s Presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mike Bloomberg<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Bloomberg has an impressive CV in the business area, starting from the\nbanking sector and reaching a publishing empire today. In addition, Mike Bloomberg\nhas considerable political experience as he has been elected for three\nconsecutive terms as mayor of New York (2001-2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, Mike Bloomberg because of his political experience and despite\nbeing wealthy as Donald Trump does not present himself as the successful\naggressive businessman, a feature that the current US President cannot\n&#8220;expel&#8221; during his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Mike Bloomberg is a philanthropist with a significant amount\nof donations to various organizations and purposes. He began his political\ncareer in the Democratic Party, then switched to the Republican Party by\nadopting his policies mainly in terms of the economy and the implementation of\nthe&nbsp; Law&nbsp;\n&amp;&nbsp; Order&nbsp; policy, and then returned to the Democratic\nParty where he now descends candidate for the nomination of the Democratic\nParty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why is Mike<\/strong> <strong>Bloomberg<\/strong> <strong>&#8216;s candidacy\na Game<\/strong> <strong>Changer<\/strong> <strong>in favour of Democrats<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike&nbsp; Bloomberg&#8217;s candidacy features make him a&nbsp; Game Changer in the event that he qualifies for his candidacy to face the current US President Donald Trump in the November 2020 elections. More specifically, Mike Bloomberg:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong> He is much wealthier than the current President Donald Trump. This means that any arguments by Donald Trump about himself as a highly successful businessman in relation to his political opponents cease to apply as was the case against the other candidates for the Democratic nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong> He has three terms as mayor of New York and does not come from a &#8220;political family&#8221;, so as to attach to him that he is a representative of the deep political establishment as it was in the November 2016 elections, with Donald&#8217;s Trump political rival and candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Mr. Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong> Mike Bloomberg has knowledge of his fiscal terms as Mayor of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong> Due to his long-standing participation in the Republicans, Mike Bloomberg has conservative positions in both economy and Law enforcement &amp; Order policies equally. Essentially, his political agenda in these matters is identical to the conservative policies that Donald Trump stands for in these matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fact alone is a reassuring factor for a large portion of the Republican Party&#8217;s voters who until yesterday feared the possibility of prevalence to the US Presidency of Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders who would impose heavy taxation on their incomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.<\/strong> By itself this above element (See (4)), shows that there are great chances that many Republican voters would vote more easily with Democrats and Mike Bloomberg instead of their own party and Donald Trump, especially the Republicans who are unhappy with Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, we will have a great chance of seeing a move or a percentage grab of the Republican Party by the Democrats and Mike Bloomberg and since Mike Bloomberg will have promised first that he will not hurt the existing tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.<\/strong> The simultaneous progressive views that Mike&nbsp; Bloomberg has expressed at times in areas such as climate change, firearms, immigration, abortions, etc. give him the advantage of political flexibility, which could be used to curb the Democratic Party&#8217;s centralist moderate voters who are currently supporting the candidacy of&nbsp; Joe&nbsp; Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7.<\/strong> The only danger that the Democratic Party will face from acquiring the chair of Presidency by Mike Bloomberg is the possible loss of votes coming from the so-called &#8216;leftist&#8217; wing of the Democrats that currently support the nominations of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This situation can be reversed and the &#8220;leftist&#8221; votes in the\nDemocratic Party to remain if Mike Bloomberg and his staff manage to adopt and\npresent as his applied policy a policy agenda for combating poverty at national\nlevel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example,&nbsp; the&nbsp; political&nbsp; views&nbsp; of&nbsp; Michael&nbsp; Bennet&nbsp; (Senator&nbsp; of&nbsp; Colorado)&nbsp; as&nbsp; to&nbsp; increase&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; job&nbsp; qualifications&nbsp; and&nbsp; training&nbsp; by&nbsp; investing&nbsp; the&nbsp; 70%&nbsp; of&nbsp; American&nbsp; workers&nbsp; who&nbsp; do&nbsp; not&nbsp; hold&nbsp; college&nbsp; degree&nbsp; and&nbsp; ending&nbsp; parallel&nbsp; the&nbsp; childhood&nbsp; poverty,&nbsp; political&nbsp; positions&nbsp; very&nbsp; realistic&nbsp; without substantially&nbsp; burdening the&nbsp; annual&nbsp; federal&nbsp; budget,&nbsp; then&nbsp; these&nbsp; \u201cleftist\u201d voters of the Democratic Party will vote for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8.<\/strong> On the other hand, both Mike Bloomberg and his staff should present convincing policies to address the migration problem if he wants to increase the poll rates of the Democratic Party in the Central and Southern States of the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, at The Liberal Globe we believe that the only policies that can cope with the U.S. immigration problem with the minimum charge of the US federal budget are not those of the Republican Party. For the reader who wants to find out in detail what these policies are should read the analysis &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/?p=152\">The Solutions of the Migratory Problem in USA<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What shows the possibility of pre-election confrontation Bloomberg<\/strong> <strong>vs<\/strong> <strong>Trump<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disadvantages of Mike&nbsp; Bloomberg\n&#8216;s candidacy lie in the fact that it is presented to the American public\nopinion that claiming the US Presidency is a very expensive &#8220;sport&#8221;\nthat only the very wealthy can afford or those who are gifted and at the same\ntime have very wealthy friends to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Bloomberg along with today&#8217;s President Donald Trump has a total of\nelection expenses exceeding 2\/3 of the total cost of the candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Mike&nbsp;\nBloomberg&nbsp; and his staff will have\nto deal with Donald Trump&#8217;s powerful argument that only he is capable to put at\nthe same time with the Chinese, the Russians and the EU and he succeeds to win\nthem while driving the US economy in growth orbit. An argument that will be\nstrengthened even further if US President Donald Trump manages to emerge\nunscathed from his possible referral to justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Bloomberg though he slowly entered the race to win the Democratic nomination, has already shot down every election spending record spending around $31&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[390,819],"tags":[1291,996,678,655,779,1097,1290,1288,1292,1287,679,1289],"class_list":["post-1622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-usa","tag-bernie-sanders","tag-democratic-party","tag-democrats","tag-donald-trump","tag-elections","tag-elizabeth-warren","tag-joe-biden","tag-mike-bloomberg","tag-nomination","tag-republican-party","tag-republicans","tag-us-presidency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1625,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1622\/revisions\/1625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
