He could spend every penny he has and he won’t get more than 5% of the vote

Didn’t the Hillary Clinton campaign spend $1.3 billion in their losing effort?

Someone needs to investigate this creep. Where did he get all the money and is it legal?

There has to be a reason he does not want any investigations.

One gets the idea Bloomberg’s run is nothing more than spreading his cash in the election without the usual ‘donor limits’ if he were not running.

“$1,000,000,000”

Not enough, cheapskate. If it were about $30,000,000,000 of your own money, I’d take it seriously. Pony up.

It’s nothing more than trying to settle ‘old scores’ for Bloomsberg and others like him who I suspect are funneling cash through Bloomsberg, (bypassing donor limits), then his ads are all about slamming Trump.

Bloomberg is not running with any intention of getting the democrat nomination. He is only running so that he can ignore all campaign contribution limits and spend as much of his money as he wants running ant-Trump advertisements.

Campaign contribution limits are for the little people.

Four years ago Democrats and progressives were outraged by the Koch brothers spending money to support Republicans and wanted to restrict spending by billionaires.

For the past three years Democrats and progressives have been outraged by the assertion a few Facebook ads placed by “Russians” greatly influenced voting in the 2016 election.

Today - silence as Bloomberg, Steyer, and Soros openly work to buy an election.

If he’s that wasteful with his own cash, what would he do with my tax dollars?

Both Bloomie and Bernie are whacked out candidates at different ends of the leftist spectrum. Almost this insanely driven force to defeat Trump their main goal while DJT is for making America the best it can be. B&B are small minded crabs on the same mission of jealous and egotistical madness. They are what they accuse President Trump of being.

You do need money to be a national contender.

But you also need charisma, vision, drive, credibility - these things money can’t buy. Bloomberg will go nowhere.

I haven’t seen any so I’d be interested if they are focused about slamming Trump more than Bloomsbergs platform.

Yours was the best post on the thread.

Sometimes it doesn’t take a lot of words.
