Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained in an interview with “60 Minutes” why he believes America will choose him over President Donald Trump this fall by characterizing those who swept Trump into office as mounting a “revolution” against the educated elite.
“A few years ago there was a revolution against the intelligentsia,” Bloomberg told CBS’ Scott Pelley. “People said, ‘you know, those people, particularly on the coasts, are trying to tell us what to do.’ They wanted a change. That explains Donald Trump. Now, people seem to have changed. This cycle, people want stability.”
Well, Mini-Mike, most of us people just want to make our own decisions, not be told how to live our lives by others...

Hillary said something like this at Davos a few years ago. It amazing how parochial the mentality of the Globalist elites is trapped in their echo chamber. These people cannot be allowed to keep governing the working Americans they barely know.

He can't REALLY believe that 63 million+ people in 'Fly Over' country are ready to dump Trump and turn to the so-called elite ''intelligentsia'' on the coasts to save us and the country??? What an ass.

O.K. I have a master's degree and I inherited a love of learning from my grandparents who, despite never finishing high school, never stopped reading and learning their entire lives. I consider myself intelligent but I am not and never will buy into this idea of intelligentsia. The people I have met who consider themselves intelligentsia are to a man (or woman) haughty and hold average hard working people in contempt.

"will guide us through the tough times particularly day one"
Yeah, right. Day one will ban Big Gulps federally. Thanks Mike. That proves your "managerial smarts". Oops. It actually proves "you know, those people, particularly on the coasts, are trying to tell us what to do".
Yes we want stability, to continue on the paths that Trump has set for the Country; freedom, respect for all, belief in American exceptionalism and American goodness, respect for religion, lower taxes, abundant good jobs, less government regulation, available and low priced energy, a strong military, a confidant and America First foreign posture, fair trade deals, destruction or collapse of terrorists and bad actors, justices that follow the law and not try to make it, sane environmental policy, smaller federal government, a bureaucracy accountable to We the People, the media exposed and brought to accountability, the dems reduced to buffoonery, etc..
We will get NONE of the above from ANY dem. In fact, we will get the opposite as demonstrated under BO.

He's right. I want stability in the 3rd branch of the government. I want to know that Obambi and Clinton judges creating laws and policies from the bench will not stand and are quickly overturned. And that songle low circuit judges no longer hae the ability to issue worldwide dictates. I want to know there is stablity in taxes and not constantly increasing. I want crime addressed and not pick and choose laws to follow. I want stabilty at the border. I want the chaos of Democrats in the House and their whims about impachment eliminated.

Bloomberg is pitiful! He thinks HE is the educated elite. As long as he is considered an elite, he doesn't care about the educated part. If he has anything to say, he should get Judith Sheindlin (a frequent spokesman) to say it for him. Besides, she would make a far better candidate for president than arrogant Rich Boy does.

Most of the "intelligentsia" is so freaking against the average American that they need to be rebelled against. And if they keep it up, things could go past the ballot box rebellion to a more serious and permanent rebellion.

Is Mike implying that Dims are intelligent? Let’s see starting with Sleepy Joe and moving on to Mad Maxine, Shiela Jackson Lee, AOC, Piglosi, and Tubby Nadler. A very bright herd.

Talk about an elitist pig! Words can't begin to describe this despicable creep and how he views the average American.
Example, take your average truck driver, or nurse, or construction worker who didn't have the opportunity to go to an ivy league college that his parents got him into. They work hard to support their family and have gratitude for their blessings and love their country. They teach their children right from wrong and they don't tell their pregnant daughter to kill it.
Those two words perfectly define his character and what he represents.

Speaking as one who has lived under Nanny Bloomberg, it is his way or the highway because of his "extreme intelligence",so beware before you fall for him. He bought his way into the Mayoralty, bought his way into the until then verboten 3rd term (blocked Guilianni's attempt to dow so), didn't take office until January while Rudy did all the hard work after 9/11 AND DID NOT IMPROVE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. He also bought off the Rev. Al, who made not a peep during Blommberg's term. Who says money doesn't buy happiness?

And as to Judge Judy, I watch her for entertainment, but cringe at times at the assumptions she brings to her judgements. Her campaigning, rather than making me pro Bloomberg, make me anti Judy.

Well Mike, People in America took a look at what the so called “intelligentsia” has done to our country and decided that you and your ilk have created every problem we have. Then you tell us that you can fix it but you just create more problems, so we decided to elect a problem solver. It’s working out pretty well so we’ll probably keep him in November.

What we really don't want is a 4' 8" wannabe dictator telling us what we want. The "intelligentsia" are more accurately named the "overeducatsia."

What mini Mike is implying is that the so-called “Deplorables” who voted for President Trump have now reconsidered and are pleased as punch to elect him and subscribe to the leftist and liberal Democrat political agenda. That just shows how out of touch this arrogant New York City billionaire is with the “Deplorables” across the USA.

Remember Mike's campaign to force restaurants in NYC to not put SALT on the tables of their establishments? And then there was the campaign, again by mini-Mike, to ban large servings of Coca Cola. Surely, Mike knows how to run your life better than YOU do. He's another liberal jackass who, in his opinion, should be making your decisions for you because you are so stupid and he is so smart. Both he and his campaign nauseate me.

I have many friends who have PhD degrees in various subjects. I have a Master's in engineering. I also have freinds who are blue collar, factory workers, too.
"The Intelligentsia" is a chilling term. The people who deem themselves part of this isolated group of NE/Left Coast folks are DANGEROUS.
I may have the education, but I do revere "the average American", and I have worked with them since HS, initially in manual labor jobs, later in engineering jobs. I never looked down on them, unless an individual was just an "a-hole", which are more numerous the closer you get to the "Intelligentsia".
Nope, stay away from these overbearing fools. I'll take my practical friends, many with a PhD and who can fix a car, or plumb a house, etc.

It has been my studied opinion for decades that with a few very rare exceptions, the "intelligentsia" have no 'common sense' and can't actually do much beyond their narrow fields of expertise.

Today's intelligentsia is the illiterate of the 21 century.
So far our founding fathers have outsmarted America's illiterates.
- Gavin Nascimento, 1928
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot unlearn the many lies that they have been conditioned to believe, and not seek out the hidden knowledge that they have been conditioned to reject.”
Conditioned to believe by the Marxist Communist democrats and Rino's who's sole efforts is to destroy America from within with the help of their brainwashed masses starting in pre-k through 12 years government run Marxist Communist schools. Then higher education universities controlled by Marxist Communist educators finish the job of destroying their minds.

They are not educated nor necessarily intelligent. Just because a person is a schemer, a manipulator and cunning doesn't mean he is intelligent.

Whatever he's paying his political consultant it's too much.
Because any real consultant would tell him "Never say that s**t!"

Every time I hear a word like "intelligentsia" or 'the masses', I am reminded of Soviet propaganda from years ago.
Those are the kind of terms that they used.
The couple of people that I used to work with that considered themselves members of the "intelligentsia" were universally recognized by everyone else as being hopelessly inept, arrogant, and unable to grasp what goes on in the real world.
My term for the so-called "intelligentsia"....... I call 'em The Chattering Class.
