If Bloomberg can spend billions on "independent" expenditures that aren't, why should individuals be limited to donating $2800 to campaigns? Why was it a big deal for Citizens United to make a film attacking Hillary Clinton?
According to Predictit the Republicans now have an even change of keeping the Presidency. A few months ago they were 55-45 underdogs. We should not panic about Bloomberg, but our campaign finance restrictions should be lifted if he can bulldoze them.

He can buy all the propaganda video’s he wants, it still won’t sway any voter for Trump.

Pretending to run for President is the only way he would be allowed to contribute a billion dollars to the DemocRAT cause.

Go ahead and spend it, Michael, but it'll take a lot more than a billion dollars to stop the man who promises to MAKE AMERICA GREAT! and who TRUSTS IN GOD!"

Go right ahead, Chump. First of all, you’re not getting the nomination any more than “Pig” Steyer and all his ads will. Secondly, Trump will slaughter you in the general election. The most successful economy of this century vs the guy who ran NYC into the dust? Easy choice for anyone with some objectivity.

If spending money meant getting votes than Clinton would be president.

I welcome Bloomberg being 1 billion dollars poorer for no results.

He’s trying to Perot Trump. He might be able to do it with that amount of bullshit money, and his ties to the MSM. Lots of work ahead to defeat the bastard.

So, Mikey wants to spend a billion of his own money to turn the USA into Venezuela?
From that, it is more than evident how much he loves his country.

Try 100 billion Little Michael; but don’t expect any success. But you can get in to the Guinness Book for Most Money pent in a losing campaign. That record will stand forever.

Strategically it’s STUPID to announce plans to buy a political office...as it galvanizes opposition, and makes whoever he supports look bought.
He should have stuck with his earlier, behind the scenes, activities (as Soros also does).
