" 'Mini' Mike Bloomberg starts making a name for himself in the campaign"

Andrea Widburg  . . . "Typical Democrats: If you're playing by the rules and losing, change the rules.  Fair play is for suckers.  The irony is that the irate Bernie Bros would do exactly the same given the chance.  Still, cheating to promote Bloomberg will not convince Bernie fans to vote for the little guy.

"The second problem is that Mike Bloomberg is an unappealing candidate whom Trump is already beginning to define in devastating fashion.

"The president has christened Bloomberg, who is around 5'6" tall, "Mini Mike."  There's nothing wrong with being short (although the taller candidate in a media age usually wins), but the epithet has allowed Trump to get into the Democrats' heads.  On Sunday, Trump tweeted out a string of attacks against Bloomberg: . . ."

Steve Bannon lays out a shocking scenario of the real reason behind Bloomberg’s investment of $2 billion in politics  "If Steve Bannon is correct (and I think he probably is), Michael Bloomberg has no intention of occupying the Oval Office; his real plan is far more devious and frightening. Bloomberg is investing a small fraction of his fortune (Bannon says it is now $70 billion) in a “leveraged buyout” of the party, installing himself as the oligarch who calls the shots, including the selection of the candidate to win the presidency.

"Forget the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the “Mike will get it done” ads saturating the airwaves and the Super Bowl ad touting gun control. According to Bannon, with the addled and corrupt Biden faltering, Bloomberg is fighting a holding action to prevent Bernie Sanders from capturing the nomination and thus taking over the party and converting it into an explicitly socialist party. Win (unlikely) or lose, a Sanders candidacy would hand leadership of the party to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who will be old enough for the presidency in the 2024 election. Bannon notes that she has become the face of the Sanders campaign in Iowa while he was tied up in the impeachment trial. She is an outright socialist intent on nationalizing the means of production and is therefore incompatible with Bloomberg’s intent to run the party and the country by financing its political campaigns and operating expenses with outlays that don’t strain his net worth but enable it to outspend the opposition." . . .
