Bloomie establishes his own super-pac that will also take donations. He puts in 600 million dollars with 100 million going to Bidden and 500 million going to key House and Senate races where his millions can swing an election. Bidden is going to lose anyway but if Bloomie is smart he can make the Seante Democrat and keep The House Democrat.
This way he can really play the spoiler for Trump and Trump's future judicial nominations including the Supreme Court.
Just my thoughts after Bloomie's amazing win in Samoa. PLUS you better believe Bloomie is waiting in the wings in case mighty Joe young poops out any day before election day.
Money isn’t the major factor anymore. Dvrs skip the commercials. He just blasted super turesday states for months and barely moved the needle.
What does it cost to reach 70 plus million people on TV night and day whenever you want?
Because that’s what Trump does.
The old days of buying elections on TV are gone my friend.
Hmmmm. For a cool million I can get his name on a ballot. It won’t mean anything but at least he’ll feel better about himself. :-)
Bloomberg has most likely spent many times more than that the last 20-30 years across the country trying to destroy the 2nd Amendment, state by state. Nothing new until we pass a law stopping these American OLIGARCHS from buying all of our prostitute politicians.
I believe American voters aren’t that stupid!
What damage did he do with the $1 billion he blew? Not a damn thing.
The filthy bastard should be giving that money to cancer research. I hope it in some form takes him. Soon.
“I believe American voters aren’t that stupid!”
Obama...twice?
Bloomie bought enough House seats for the Dems to take the House in 2018. He can buy a lot of votes again with ads, lavish spreads at meetings, rides to voting places etc. it is scary.
I know, Bloomie is a real enemy of the Second Amendment and has spent tens of millions trying to reduce its effectiveness.
Some people have more Speech than others.
You should retake English and spelling classes.
Half a Billion for Bloomie is same as if you had $66,000 in bank and you spent $500 on some junk you did not need.
“You should retake English and spelling classes.”
When I have told that to people on FR I have had to put on my flame-retardant suit! ;-)
He’s going to prove that money doesn’t matter all that much right now. Maybe in the future, but right now, no.
If we look at other races, like governor, senator, Congress critter, we see a long string of the superrich who tried and failed to buy an election. Even those who won wasted huge amounts of money that made no difference.
For example, Peter Fitzgerald spent many millions on his run for senate. Only one of his many expensive TV ads was effective. It featured his Hispanic looking Greek wife and cute kid. It had zero to do Peter’s character, skills, or politics.
Even more effective than his expensive TV ads was the support from the trade uniions. In the State Senate Peter had stood with them against the RINO Governor joined at the hip to the Mayor of Chicago. Those trade union members got the votes of their beer buddies, neighbors, strangers.... great ground game.
Three things in Politics
Money
People
The brains to know what to do with them. Most politicians fail on this 3d thing.
Trump should appoint him to become the Soft Drink Czar.. put him in an office without a phone and no internet connection, put an indefinite hold on approval for travel. Post a receptionist outside his door and keep him occupied until next November when the appointment expires.
