[Is he going to buy his way in like Tom Steyer?]

By an order of magnitude. And then some. Steyer is worth $1.6b. Bloomberg? $50b. Bloomberg makes Soros look middle class. He spent a combined $250m on getting elected NYC mayor 3x. That’s probably 10x all the other mayoral candidates, *combined*.

Bloomberg could spend $500m on the primary, and maybe $5b on a presidential campaign. I have zero doubt he could simply pledge his ownership stake in Bloomberg LP as collateral. Would it really be such a big deal if he left his daughter $40b instead of $50b?

Absurd. He could spend every nickle and he's not getting the nom.

Jeb Bush spent $53M for each of his 3 delegates. That scales directly to Doomberg.

It's a kamikaze run to take out Biden, period. Drive up his negatives in the Super Tuesday states so he can't run the table before April.

It won't work. Even FReepers sometimes have no real idea how much pure political strength an 8-yr VP commands in any primary. But Biden's ace in the hole is his death grip on the Amish; no matter what Tuck Chodd's feverish brow dreams up about Aunt Georgamina. GropinJoe takes SC by 5 and everything beforehand is forgotten, then he goes into Super Tuesday and takes ALL but Kalifornia.

Then it's merely a matter of which Leftist defects for a 3rd-Party run.

Democrats politically destroyed.

Game over.

Trump re-elected.
