"'Republican operative Mike Shields', even I laughed at that one, and I have no sense of humor because of dementia!"

Michael Bloomberg’s plan to field a massive shadow political party could significantly undercut key financial and organizational advantages President Trump might otherwise enjoy against his Democratic challenger.
The former New York City mayor is investing hundreds of millions on a ground game and digital operation as part of his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination. But Bloomberg, 77, is promising to put his campaign to work for whoever wins the party’s 2020 nod, immediately bridging a huge resource gap with Trump the Democratic National Committee is too depleted to handle.
Federal law prohibits Bloomberg’s organization from coordinating with, or being handed off to, the Democratic nominee in the way the GOP nominee, in this case Trump, is permitted to assume command of the Republican National Committee and its extensive campaign operation. That could hinder Bloomberg’s effect. But Republican insiders concede his play could remarkably improve the eventual Democratic nominee’s chances of defeating Trump.
“If he’s going to put hundreds of millions into a presidential campaign, damn right it will have an effect. It’s called buying an election,” Republican operative Mike Shields told the Washington Examiner. Shields was a top deputy to Reince Priebus at the RNC immediately after President Barack Obama’s reelection, when Priebus, as chairman, spent tens of millions of dollars to build turn-key, get-out-the-vote, and data analytics programs for use by all future GOP presidential nominees.
The decision paid huge dividends in 2016.
Trump won the Republican nomination that year with a shoestring campaign and had to contend with a better-funded and more-organized Hillary Clinton. Leaning heavily on the RNC, Trump caught up quickly. This election cycle, the president has the upper hand in money and manpower, with Democratic contenders squabbling among themselves, months away from crowning a nominee and pivoting to Trump.

Spoiler alert: We didn't.
He will do great until he has to stand on a stage with PDJT, he will look like a munchkin.
Doomberg can spend a trillion dollars if he wants. Everyone will still know what he has been all his life, king of the nanny state.
So Bloomberg will hurt Trump. Ok, sure.
Wish casting alert.
“”””””’If all it took was money to get elected, we would have had a President Perot and President Forbes.””””””””
The hildabeast spent 1.4 billion dollars and still lost a rigged election to a political nobody.
Bloomy will throw his money around and try to drive the other Dems away. I suspect a reboot of “Killer Kannibal Klowns From Outer Space’.
And President Hillary or President Jeb. Both spent money like it grew on trees.
Great, now I've peed my pants.
Do you remember what Ross Perot looked like? He had these EARS that stuck out. And, once when advertizing for the POTUS job he said that he was listening to Americans:
"I'm all ears."
.
Made me laugh for days!
The GOP is afraid of everything. They’re mostly afraid of losing whatever status they think they have. They are as bad as the Delusional Dems. Worse because people vote for them instead of the Lying Left not knowing they’re getting essentially the same thing.
Vote for independent non-politician Patriots. Vote against the establishment and the status quo, GOP and otherwise.

Amazing how stupid and senile people get in just 3 years Trump spent about half of what Clinton did on his way to the presidency Boombergs and Steins commercials are annoying as hell, and they are not generating any real following.
“Republican Insiders”
Let me guess:
Anyone who ever worked for John McCain.
The same people who said only Jeb could win.
Anyone from the Mormon Mafia.
Any NeverTrump
“Shields was a top deputy to Reince Priebus at the RNC”
All you need to know right there.
L
But, foolish conservatives, many of them actually Freepers, were gullible enough to vote for Perot and get Clinton elected.
Bloomberg is the most experienced executive in the lot. As a matter of fact he might be the only experienced executive in the lot. He can very well attract both Democrat power and money.
“...a better-funded and more-organized Hillary Clinton...”
I really don’t know about “better funded” but I do know her campaign was a flustercuck...
More organized, my azz....
These NeverTrumper Repukes are clueless and desperate. They no longer control the GOP. As for Doomberg the dude has already spent $150 million or so on his campaign and he still trails Slow Joe, Comrade Sanders and Mayor Pete. All that money has failed to get him past those three losers. Doomberg is not going to win the nomination and he sure as hell won’t be spending hundreds of millions of his own money to get one of these idiots or another RAT candidate elected!
