RUSH: How about this story? This… I love this next story. From the Daily Caller<\/a>: “Staffers for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg\u2019s failed presidential campaign say they went rogue and canvassed for [Crazy Bernie] after the Nevada debate debacle…”<\/p>\n

The story comes to us courtesy of The Nation, which is a far left-wing — radical leftist, practically communist — publication. They\u2019ve got “anonymous sources” saying, “People who worked with the team,” with Bloomberg\u2019s team, “knew the campaign was over” once Fauxcahontas “blasted Bloomberg” for all those NDAs he\u2019s got with women. A quote from somebody at the magazine:<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“‘Most people knew this was a grift\u2019 … The staffers spoke anonymously out of concern for professional reprisal and due to a non-disclosure agreement. Klippenstein [of The Nation] obtained a leaked copy of the NDA in February — a representative with the campaign confirmed the copy was indeed from the campaign. Several staffers…” Are you ready for this? “Several staffers said they actively tried to undermine Bloomberg\u2019s campaign, even canvassed for” Crazy Bernie.<\/p>\n

Do you know what else happened? I\u2019ll guarantee you something else happened. What did Bloomberg spend? Five… (interruption) Okay, $500 million. Okay, you know the way this works. Whoever placed the advertising gets a 15% commission. That\u2019s how political consultants in one way — one of many ways — earn big bucks. This is one of the reasons why there\u2019s so much money in politics. The consults run the show! Like, the consultant that got Jeb Bush three delegates for $100 million.<\/p>\n

You remember that? It was in the 2016 primary. I\u2019m not even gonna mention the guy\u2019s name, but he\u2019s a guru. He\u2019ll be hired by the next Republican running for something. Jeb spent 100 million bucks. However much of that was expended on advertising, this consultant gets the 15% agency the commission. So these guys working for Bloomberg, I will guarantee you that the vast majority of them were just spending his money to get that 15% commission. He didn\u2019t have any loyalty.<\/p>\n

He hadn\u2019t been at it long enough. He thought he was buying loyalty, but you really can\u2019t. He hadn\u2019t been at this long enough. His organization hadn\u2019t been up and running long enough. He didn\u2019t have enough people he knew intimately well enough to be doing this. So there were people literally spending his money in nontargeted ways, unproductive ways, that were essentially ripping off his campaign.<\/p>\n

Some of those people, as The Nation story now says, were working for Bernie Sanders. Some of the people spending Bloomberg\u2019s money and some of the people supposedly doing get-out-the-vote efforts and all were supposedly working for Sanders, and some of the people who were on Bloomberg\u2019s team after the first debate when Fauxcahontas tore into him over the NDAs — some of the Bloomberg people — supposedly were so mad and so outraged at Bloomberg that they began to sabotage his campaign.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t quit, they didn\u2019t resign, they didn\u2019t go to Bloomberg and say, “How dare you, you didn\u2019t tell us this,” and resign. They stayed on board and they happily spent his money, got the 15% agency commission — by the way, that\u2019s SOP. That\u2019s standard operating procedure. I mean, it\u2019s factored in when you sell advertising, the 15% agency commission\u2019s factored in. They just get it. That\u2019s the price.<\/p>\n

And you don\u2019t even need \u2019em. But it\u2019s the way the world works, and it\u2019s the way certain people get paid. Fifteen percent of $500 million. Ten percent of $500 million is $50 million, folks, for buying advertising. So you\u2019re a looking at roughly $75 million somebody made for just placing Bloomberg\u2019s advertising. Now, it\u2019s more than one person, obviously. Or maybe not. Maybe it was just one campaign manager doing it all.<\/p>\n

But the stories are now coming out that these people were doing it just to do it, just to spend his money. He had written them a blank check, and he made the mistake of assuming everybody was on his side. And this is why I looked at Bloomberg — and I\u2019m probably gonna, at some point, get in big trouble over this. I haven\u2019t yet. But I\u2019ve never been dazzled with all the so-called brilliance and intelligence that we\u2019re supposed to think these people have.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like Tom Steyer. Tom Steyer, he may have whatever, $30 billion, the guy is an idiot, folks. Just in a common-sense measurement, the guy\u2019s an idiot. He had no personality, he had no way of bonding or relating with people. It was impossible for him to create such a bond. No charisma whatsoever. All it means is you don\u2019t need any of that stuff to earn a lot of money.<\/p>\n

One of the things I always think about when I hear like Bloomberg, $60 million, or somebody else, $35 million, in the case of a hedge funder, for example, somebody that runs a hedge fund and has $30 billion dollars, are the people who gave him the money to invest, how are they doing? How does somebody with $30 billion as a result of investing other people\u2019s money, how are they doing? I\u2019ve often wondered that. I don\u2019t have any money in a hedge fund. I, of course, have had hedge funds pitched to me, but it\u2019s because of this question.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You tell me that some guy out there\u2019s worth $40 billion and I\u2019m supposed to — what\u2019s gonna happen to the chump change I give him? How does that happen? “Well, you know, hedge funds are -” I\u2019ve never even had one properly explained to me in a way that I could understand it. “Well, Rush, it\u2019s a hedge.” Yeah, I know it\u2019s a hedge, but I look at all the rules and regulations, it doesn\u2019t make any sense. It looks like I\u2019m just giving somebody money here that for the most part is gonna end up as theirs.<\/p>\n

“Well, that\u2019s pretty much it. You\u2019re hedging your bets. You\u2019re hedging your bets. You\u2019re taking a risk here. You\u2019re hedging the bets. Your money elsewhere is gonna be lost.” Oh, is that what it is?<\/p>\n

Anyway, you got Steyer, you got Bloomberg and some of these others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
