Before the debate, someone asked me what I thought was going to happen? I said everyone is going to attack Bloomberg and -if he was smart- he needed to 'Kavanaugh' his way out of it: go on the attack, act outraged, keep pounding the other side as being 'corrupt' and to act offended. It's polarizing but you're already polarizing...and it will be the only way to survive Warren and Sanders progressive smackdown. Plus, going on the attack would give him more screen time. In order to do a "Kavanaugh' -formerly what I called "a Clarence" (aka Clarence Thomas) you need to be totally shameless and to dive headfirst into male privilege/rage. It is the kind of thing only a man could do and get away with it, which is to say 'throw a red-faced hissy fit' and not get accused of being over-emotional. Women can't do it. A woman raises her voice and she's 'shrill' or angry. But a guy can be weeping like a bitch while screaming about beer and end up on the Supreme Court.
Bloomberg didn't Kavanaugh it. As expected he got smashed. As expected, the average person didn't watch the debate so I don't think it will affect him outside of the chattering class. He is a tv commercial candidate. Debates are his enemy. Speeches are his enemy. Human contact is not his friend.
I think he should embrace his oligarchy status. Dress up as Willy Wonka and ride around in a blimp tossing gold coins down to the dirty upper-middle class. Offer free ostrich rides to South Carolina residents. Wear a monocle and smoke a long filtered cigarette while screaming "Boardwalk!! Park Place!! Baltimore Avenue!" Turn his candidacy into a performance art piece where chimney sweeping urchins rush into crowds and steal people's babies unless 'the Batman' meets him at sundown. You need to be shameless, run headlong into decadence. "Citizen Kane" it and stagger around a mansion while someone makes a Tik-Tok of you searching for your prized sled.
As we have learned from Trump, there is no apology or accidents for the shameless billionaire candidate. If you fall flat on your face and bust your lip open like Bloomberg did on national tv last night, you just smile at the camera and say 'that's the billionaires jig' and millions of white people will flop down on the ground with you. Because their spirituality is America's true religion: white capitalism. And the worshippers will die for their savior.
