Humm, seems America's farmers have been pretty successful in growing the food that has feed a world and people in the USA especially for many, many many years!

Wonder if former Mayor Mike Bloomberg has ever farmed or even raised a potted tomato plant to harvest in his NY residence. My wife, no idiot, grew up on a farm. She is fired up!!!

Speaking of "grey matter" farmers have always had to think. Insulting not just farmers, but others is "Elitist". Is he also saying that others are stupid in this "information age"? I am part of the "information age" and critical thinking is something I have done ALL my life! In critically, thinking about former Mayor Bloomberg it seems he is being as condescending and unconcerned for his remarks as others of his ilk!

Humm, so former Mayor Bloomberg believes Mr. Willie Nelson is also an idiot because all he does is play music and supports farmers? Hec Mike can teach him to play the guitar and write songs - right?

So, you know the question that is coming, especially to the nation's farmers from coast to coast who are also members of RP:

- Has former Mayor Mike Bloomberg just said America's farmers are STUPID?

As always, please remember in you comments to this post be respectful!

Bloomberg is an idiot if he thinks that is all there is to farming. He must think it as he spoke it so clearly and convincingly.

This is a stretch in trying to find a reason to discredit him, especially now that he has some movement in the polls. I want to hear what all was said before the clip started, and what was played after it ended. I've seen far too many examples of words being taken out of context. Phrases like "You have to pass it to see what's in it.", or "What difference does it make?", or "You didn't build that.", etc.

Bloomberg is a typical elite liberal city dweller who has nothing but contempt for the blue collar workers who do all the things he doesn't know how to do to keep him warm, fed and his limo and aircraft working while he sits securely surrounded by his body guards.

I am still waiting for the part where he called them stupid. He is essentially saying it requires a different skillset to be a farmer than certain jobs in the Information Age. I don’t like the guy but I think you are reaching.

Bloomberg just keeps making himself look stupid. Hell most of the farmers in my area all have degrees. With all this new tech, GPS, and the new chemicals, you have to have training and a card just to buy some stuff these days.

I don't like Nanny State Bloomberg anyway so, if he wants to alienate a large swath of the voting public just like Hillary Clinton did, good luck to him.

To be fair, the head of the Agriculture Department spoke to many farmers in a large cellar in regards to the tariffs. He called it the whine cellar to the anger and shock of the farmers.

Seldom a good idea to pick some potential voters and talk smack about them.
