Bloomberg makes ‘massive’ ad buy
Politico ^ | November 22, 2019 | Alex Thompson, Zach Montellaro, and Marc Caputo

In the latest sign Michael Bloomberg is prepared to spend freely on a prospective presidential bid, the billionaire has begun booking a huge quantity of TV ad time in media markets across the country — including the one that’s home to President Donald Trump’s winter White House, Mar-a-Lago.

The ads will begin airing as soon as Monday. One of the first ad buys was spotted in the West Palm Beach, Fla., media market, according to Advertising Analytics. As of 2:30 p.m., Advertising Analytics tracked buys in 32 different states across the country, with $19.4 million in reservations so far.

Fool and money...the political consulting class not associated with any current candidate must be salivating at the prospect of huge paydays if they can latch onto this sugar daddy.

He could spend 52 billion easy in one year. Hire me as his campaign ad director for 51 billion and spend the rest on ads.

Bloomberg is a multi-billionaire with a leftist mentality—while President Trump is a Blue Collar Billionaire with a brilliant (stable genius) mind and a patriotic heart full of pure gold!!!

Saw an Ad from Tom Steyer last night bashing POTUS Trump.

Can’t figure out why he wasn’t going after the other Rats he is currently running against.

He called POTUS Trump a failed Businessman with a shot of a Trump Airliner in the background. You know, from 30 Years ago.

I don’t agree with his politics but he made his money the old fashioned way - he earned it. Bloomberg’s wrong - but he’s NOT stupid. The more people on BOTH sides that run WHO ARE NOT PART OF THE DEEP STATE - THE BETTER.

Nanny Bloomers and Dumb Steyer can hold a bonfire of money if they want. They may bring in 5% each.

Sorry to burst your bubble. South Florida, including PBC, is the bluest of BLUES. North Florida, excluding Tallahassee and JAX, are deep RED. The fight is on the corridor across the state connecting Daytona-Orlando-Tampa.

If political ads could win a Presidency we wouldn’t have Trump today. Trump went right to the people with a message they wanted to hear. Bloombergs hasn’t got the ‘it’ to attract because what he’s already done nobody likes.
