Bloomberg to form new group to help Democratic nominee defeat Trump (Hawkfish still in operation)
NBC 2 ^ | 3/05/20 | Dan Merica

Michael Bloomberg has decided to form a new group to take on President Donald Trump, an aide to the former New York mayor tells CNN.

**SNIP**

The independent expenditure, the aide said, will deploy hundreds of staffers from his presidential campaign to six key swing states: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The name, scope and budget for the organization has yet to be determined, the aide added. Like all independent expenditures, the yet-to-be-named entity will not be allowed to coordinate with any campaigns.

Bloomberg will also continue to fund Hawkfish, the digital operation that propelled his months-long presidential campaign, the aide said. The group will operate as a separate entity, as it did through the campaign, but Bloomberg independent expenditure is positioned to be the group's primary client.

Wonder why Bloomberg has it in so bad for Trump? Seems like it’s personal.

Shouldn’t he be plotting closely with Soros, to prevent duplication of effort????

But then Bloomberg isn’t very smart in how he actually spends his money, and Soros would probably scam him out of even more than the marketing and propaganda people he hired for his campaign have.

You know how Trump kept needling him with the Mini Mike tweets? All in good fun. Except unlike most failed political candidates, Bloomberg has billions of dollars to spend on Biden’s campaign, as well as people down ballot from Biden. Since he was prepared to spend billions on trying to become president, it’s not such a big deal for him to spend billions trying to unseat Trump. If he can’t become president himself, he can get bragging rights if Biden defeats Trump with the help of a multi-billion dollar election campaign that he funds.

I think it started before Trump became POTUS - I think there’s bad blood there - at least on the part of Bloomberg. Just don’t know why.

These days, you need a lot of money to win to presidency, but you can't buy the presidency. Bloomberg and Steyer have already proved that.
You can't buy charisma, you can't buy strength, vigor and youth.
Unless Bloomberg can come up with a pill to make Slow Joe more youthful, stronger and stop his dementia, Biden is toast. We are watching Biden virtually falling apart before our eyes. Reagan started having his Alzheimer's around the same age Biden is now. Luckily, Reagan had completed his presidency long before that.
Trump is one of the most youthful, energetic, most charismatic 73 year old I have ever soon. He makes Slow Joe look like a hundred year old.

I could help his spend his money more strategically to beat Trump. His current crop of advisers simply don't have a clue.
However, my price would be $100 Million. :)

Keep pouring money into “Hawkffish”. It’s worked so well so far.

The whole Democrat plan is about all of them trying to avoid prosecution. They just can't come right out and admit it.

What are they against? What are they for?

yep-and this is real trouble-we want to say Bloomberg failed but all his ads did move him from 1 or 2% to 15% -he advertising pays-and he did help flip the House in 2018 with $100 million targeted- we need to NOT assume Trump will win and work for him

He and Soros and other incredibly rich people would LOVE to be loved like Trump because of their narcissism.

They can’t accept that this IDIOT (in their heads) is getting so much adulation and attention.

he’s not superior to them. (again in their heads)

THE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW BETTER!! I SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF THEM AND THEY SHOULD LOVE ME!!

that’s what i’m guessing.

There is little worse than an oligarch with a grudge. Bloomberg and Soros are as evil as they come.

There’s going to be trouble if he does that in Pa. REAL trouble. This billionaire dirtbag advocates letting senior citizens die by not providing healthcare. Bloomberg is going to make the mistake of sending in armed security with each of these state-wide efforts and that will not end well.

I got my second Bloomberg mailer yesterday.

"I'll be a president for the entire country, creating jobs and getting our economy WORKING FOR EVERY AMERICAN."

Trump. Been there, done that.
