I’m think more on the lines of messing with the front runner whomever that might be.

[ Whether that can be enough remains to be seen. Warren attacked Bloomberg for using "bags and bags of money" to buy his way into the race, while Sanders declared himself "disgusted" by the spending. ]

“I think skipping the early states and skipping the debates could definitely be a problem,” veteran Democratic operative David Brock told The Hill.

Is "veteran Democratic operative" a euphemism for sleazy Clinton hatchet-man who used to be a GOP toady?

“IA and NH no longer matter AT ALL in the nomination process.”

This is the latest communist bullshit, to portray IA & NH unworthy “b/c no diversity”.

We need to come up with strategies to CRUSH these commies; they are much more organized now than they were in the 60’s OR even in early 2000s. Ayers and Obama have trained them well. They are TAKING OVER.

Giuliani put all his eggs in the Florida primary basket. I was a disaster.

No, it’s not. They arrested the guy spreading those memes for “hate crime”. Think about that. IOTBW is a “hate crime”.

No, the article says “will not accept donations nor fund his own campaign”

I wonder where he’s getting the money?

I think by cutting out the middle man, the media and the establishment election machinery could be upset due to the loss of money. That is all they consider. Whether the correct person gets the nod or not is not the goal, the goal is to keep the money flowing for over a year.

He defines what it means to be an out of touch east coast limo liberal. No national appeal WHAT SO EVER.

Doomberg pours $37M into top DMAs in those SuperTuesday states — those buys are being made as you read this — and he will literally control the flow of Democrat ad info in those markets approaching March 3,2020.

Note 6 of those states have only 1 or 2 Top 50 DMAs, Doomberg will literally 'buy out' markets like Minneapolis and freeze out other contenders.

What's interesting though, if this is meant to undermine Biden, GropinJoe is already not buying a ton of ads and is going on name-brand Donkey VP status -- which had traditionally been a HUGE edge in primaries, until Cheney declined to contest '08 unfortunately, and Biden passed on contesting '08 and very mistakenly passed on '16:

I believe that VP strength-as-brand still exists in the Democrat Party insofar as those lead-in states to SuperTuesday and most of those SuperTuesday states.

So what is Doomberg doing, but cutting off the air of last-gasp candidates like Karamela, Kobuchar, Booker; and putting the hurt on running-out-of-powwow Fauxcahontas, and heart-attack Bernie -- knowing full damn good well those Senators will be stuck in a Senate trial for the dual purpose of ruining Biden and/or Trump.

I'm going against the conventional wisdom -- I think Doomberg knows he's unelectable outside of NYC and is trying to HELP Biden and/or Trump, at the expense of the Democrat Socialist women (and Bern).

You think a 50B billionaire wants to be taxed at 100%?

The only other possibility is to help Butt, and Doomberg’s friendset does overlap strongly with those Hurtass ex-Bobo Ambassador PAC stuffing TENS of MILLIONS in Butt’s campaign.

Its a money laundering operation to help the DNC. That’s the strategy. He’s a “candidate” in name only. No limits on what he can contribute this way.

Not just his own money either. Whoever contributes to his “campaign” has their money laundered this way too.

This is the objective. He’s basically formed a “PAC” and the PAC is his political campaign to skirt the regulations.

I don’t believe the FCC allows a candidate to buy out all available time. If a broadcaster sells 5,000 spots to a candidate, the broadcaster must allow other candidates to buy an equal number of spots at the same rate.

What gets squeezed out is regular advertising, and the commissions that sales people get.

He is acting like Hillary. He thinks his money is the Superdelegates he has wrapped up. He does not have to campaign very much, and his acolytes (in this case, his money) will do all the work for him.

I appreciate President Trump more each and every day for the hard work he has done, since day one when he declared for the Presidency. I think that is one reason he is loved and successful.

Dems don’t want to do the work. Skip primaries, wrap up Superdelegates, allow illegal votes, appoint liberal judges to legislate, and let the media do their dirty work.

The unprecedented strategy of being completely unappealing and uninspiring. Make America not “Make America Great Again” Again.

You're absolutely right, but he can command prime slots, the law doesn't obligate the stations to give the candidates the same slots.

Also the way it is shaping up, only Biden and Butt and Bernie can even spend a high fraction of that amount. My understanding is, this $37-38B buy is just to nail down prime in the top DMAs, and as I noted, that is extremely easy to do in 5 or 6 of those states.

Skipping Iowa and New Hampshire is unprecedented. I think it won’t work.

Actually it's not. Guiliani had this strategy in 2008 and bypassed Iowa and New Hampshire.

It failed badly and we ended up with McCain.
