Bloomberg is spending unheard of amounts of money to essentially purchase the nomination. He’s spent more than $400 million in advertising, compared to $18 million for the next non-billionaire candidate. He’s providing ridiculously fancy food spreads at voter events. And he’s hiring people at good salaries through November, regardless of whether he wins the nomination or not.
It is unclear how many people are simply agreeing to be bought and how many think his wealth is his biggest comparative advantage for defeating Trump. Perhaps it’s a combination of both.
But even if the media and Democratic establishment are more than willing to be bought off, are Democratic voters that pathetic? Possibly, but there is reason to think the voters won’t be as cheap a date as their leaders are proving to be.
Bloomberg lacks charisma, has no base of support, and his campaign message is “Mike Will Get It Done,” a narcissistic claim that says nothing of substance. In fact, it is evocative of Hillary Clinton’s similarly self-focused “I’m With Her” slogan.
When Bloomberg starts filling up arenas, you can call him Trump. Or for a Democratic comparison, think of President Obama, who had real energy and real crowds, and not the kind that is purchased.
But nominations, and elections, are usually won by people who excite the voters and respond to their issues. The evidence in support of that excitement outside of the establishment wing is lacking, at least at this point.

The democrats are stooping low.
Arrogant elitist Bloomberg over old crazy Socialist.
Good luck Dems.
The Party of ‘We need to get money out of politics’ is going to the highest bidder.
As Rush would say, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have!

He is leveraging a buy-out of the DNC, so when a brokered convention comes, Hillary, Oprah, or Michelle will swoop in and become the savior.
That's all this is. No liberal is going to vote for Bloomberg and he damn sure ain't getting votes in places like Alabama and Texas.
The Democrat Party is nothing but a bunch of effing racists and mysogynist-lovers.
Maybe the women of the Democrat Party should get busy making Little Big Mike a sammich or two. Chop-chop.
OTOH, Mollie Hemingway won’t have to make Little Big Mike a sammich in appreciation of his Dirty Racism Money, since she’s not dumb enough to be a Democrat bimbo.
If he is nominated with Michele as VP, they could run a Mike and Mike.
As Mike and Mike.
“As Mike and Mike.”
Wee Mike and Freakin’ Huge Mike
Democrats always turn to Dictators.
It is nice being on this side of the fault line. Trump now has the full support of the GOP and the Trump field organization is 10x more massive and organized than it was four years ago. Trump is running on all cylinders now. This election cycle will be one for the ages.
Thanks to Bon mots for the above reality.

Mini Mike is a stalking horse for Hillary.
The one rat who the other rats think knows how to swim, can’t swim with all of them clinging onto him. They are all going down HARD this time.
