Bloomberg has a personal fortune of $50b. He spent $250m on 3 NYC mayoral terms, 10x his opponents combined. He could spend $5b to $10b trying to get to the White House. $10b might literally be more than the sum total of all previous presidential campaigns dating back to George Washington.

Good. Make him spend it all.
Then maybe he’ll go away and quit trying to run our lives.

So he is going to try to buy his way into office. That’s like teenagers who try to buy friends! He is pathetic.

This is what happens when communists use capitalism to get the money they need to takeover countries they consider to have too much freedom and liberty.

Deadline for filing in Alabama is today and Arkansas is Tuesday 11/12.

I think it’s all just publicity hype.

These fools can never learn why Trump won.
Hint: It wasn’t because of the money he spent.

Dems won’t accept him because he used to be a REPUBLICAN.
And nowhere near close to anywhere Liberal enough to suit them.

I can use a billion or two, after putting all my kids through college. But I wouldn’t vote for him.

Dear Mike,
You won’t play well outside of NYC. Hell, in this day and age of the democrat party being uber communist, I don’t think you would play well INSIDE NYC.
Best of luck to you and I look forward learning of your big policy initiatives like banning soda.
P.S. You were and remain a sick control freak.

I can hear the debate now.
Warren: “Bloomburg is just here to avoid his $3 billion per year wealth tax.”

It might be worth watching the RATs “Brokered Convention” next summer ... LOL !!! Chicago ‘68 all over again !!!

Politicians always have to spend copious amounts of money to get into office. Trump spent almost $100m of his personal fortune. Bloomberg, as a man with little political backing in the Democratic party, will spend large amounts getting that support, as well as the support of RINOs looking for a payoff. Heck, even world historical figures like Caesar and Alexander had to lavish huge gifts upon their supporters, so this isn’t exactly new. For Bloomberg, what the money buys is an organization, endorsements and huge ad buys.

He does know that you have to win the primaries first?
And the Dems are the last party that will be accepting of a billionare white dude walking in at the last minute to try to buy the nomination.
