Bloomberg is blowing off the caucuses and tiny states, in favor of blanketing the big Super Tuesday states in a money blizzard the small fry cannot hope to compete with.

A can of Spam is still a can of Spam, no matter how much you spend trying to market it.

He’s using the Jeb Bush campaign methodology.

Presumably he’s using his own money.

His spending mocks his intelligence. What a Stupid man.

The man is becoming a punchline, obscenely spending like that.

“Bloomberging” should become a verb. The moniker for Buying Votes or for Buying Power.. something memorable should be glued to his legacy of indulgence, arrogance and presumption.

Yea, but at least SPAM is halfway appetizing if prepared correctly. No amount of money, time or effort will make Bloomberg even modestly “appetizing”.

From what I’ve seen he’s not moving the needle in the polls. The Bloomin’ Idiot doesn’t understand. The people those ads might appeal to are not in the Dem primary base.

“People hate rich guys trying to buy public office.”

When he was mayor of New York, didn’t he buy his THIRD term in office? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Talk about a fool and his money.
Bloomberg’s such an idiot, he thinks if he spends enough money, he can convince voters whose default position is to want all rich white guys dead.

Boston TV stations are flooded with Bloomberg *and* Steyer ads. No,Massachusetts isn't a battleground state but New Hampshire is. Many of New Hampshire's residents watch Boston stations.
