'I'm spending all my money to get rid of Trump': Michael Bloomberg
Reuters ^ | 1-11-2020 | Jason Lange

- U.S. presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg told Reuters he is ready to spend much of his vast fortune to oust Republican President Donald Trump from the White House in 2020, rejecting criticism from rivals for the Democratic nomination that the billionaire is trying to buy the U.S. Ranked by Forbes as the eighth-richest American, Bloomberg has flooded U.S. airwaves and social media feeds with messages that he stands the best chance to beat Trump, spending more on campaign ads since he launched his campaign in November than his main Democratic rivals have over the last year.

“Number one priority is to get rid of Donald Trump. I’m spending all my money to get rid of Trump,” Bloomberg told Reuters aboard his campaign bus on Saturday, during a nearly 300-mile (483-km) drive across Texas, one of the 14 states that will vote on Super Tuesday on March 3.

“Do you want me to spend more or less? End of story.

Mike will only stimpulate a few people’s pockets/businesses, not really help the overall economy.

Is Bloomberg referring to all of his campaign money or to his entire fortune? If so, he can spend billions and still be beyond wealthy. Pres Trump knows the value of money and how the American public views the availability of jobs to help them live a good life. He is not throwing money, frivolously, to the political winds, to buy votes. Pres Trump is a doer, achiever, highly intelligent person. He wants value for money spent that is reflected in his view of Govt spending. Bloomberg comes across as a pompous ass who lacks everything this country needs in choosing our Commander in Chief.

Bloomberg is going to loose WI, PA, MI, MN, IA, NH, NC, SC, FL, AZ and probably NV.
Jeb also misjudged The People

“One of the reasons I’m reasonably confident I could beat Trump is I would be acceptable to the moderate Republicans you have to have,” said Bloomberg

It doesn't seem to be working too well:
Only 45 people attend Bloomberg rally with Judge Judy despite campaign's big spending

It's all Kabuki Theatre anyways , as some have pointed out, he's doing the work of the DNC under the guise of being a candidate.

I don’t think he understands that most of the country thinks that he is just a rich arrogant little cretin.

He will be the DNC nominee...he’s the only one who can fund a national campaign.

The socialist loser and bum has $55,000,000,000 or so. I doubt if he is going “to spend it all”. Liars lie...that is what they do.

“I’m spending all my money to get rid of Trump.” Good. I wish more losers would drop all their money into a failed venture.

Bloomberg’s ads here in Los Angeles are just as empty as Steyer’s ads last year. And Pelosi’s ads are equally repulsive.

Bloomberg is spending money to make more money from campaign contributions. Bank on it—I mean take it to the laundromat. That’s the ticket!

Bloomberg is proof that it is possible to be 100% deluded about whether you are a good person doing good things.

he doesn’t have his finger on the pulse of the average American

And unlike President Trump, whose name is associated with a brand many people admire and enjoy, Bloomberg's name is associated with his company, which sold overpriced financial data to hedge fund traders. Even his customers that I met hated him for oppressive contract terms, rapacious pricing, and his overall greed.

He already pushed the lady who sells used jewelry on the street into Trump’s corner. Millions of New Yorkers already hate him, and the rest of the country possibly hates him even more.

Thank you, Mikey, for making people grateful for what they have.

...I would be acceptable to the moderate Republicans you have to have..

That's pre-2016 analysis. There aren't any moderate Republicans who are going to vote for a gun grabbing leftist. And every Democrat is a gun grabbing leftist, or a closet leftist.

Anybody who votes for any Democrat is voting away their freedom.

There was law enforcement there. The killer shot the security guy. He first asked someone who the security guy was, if you saw the video. Then shot him, plus the guy who told him.

Better if the killer stayed alive, right, Mikey? To shoot up the whole place. After all they were only Texan churchgoers.
