Washington Examiner ^ | January 12, 2020 | Spencer Neale

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg claims he is ready to spend more than $1 billion in an effort to oust President Trump, but money may not be bringing supporters to his campaign.

Just 45 people showed up to Bloomberg's latest rally with TV star Judge Judy Sheindlin in Texas on Saturday.

We know that Bloomy is a dud, but it’s got to be a big disappointment for the “Judge” that her huge fan base doesn’t even care.

Judge Judy just lost any credibility she had siding with Bloomie.

She was entertaining to watch, and it seemed that she had a particular animus for People in front of her gaming the Taxpayers, but that Ship has sailed.

She just couldn't get past her Liberal NYC Jew roots. Too bad.

Let’s think about this. bloomy is about to waste how much moola on this campaign. In a way, could Mike Bloomberg’s campaign could be an extra economic stimulus to an already booming Trump economy.

The consultants

The advertisers

The grunt campaign workers

The Astro turf supporters

The TV spots

The restaurants that Mike dines at in order to look normal

Not to mention gun sales and Big Gulps at the prospects of this arse hat getting elected.

Stimulus I tell ya!! Stimulus.

I'm sorry but this is shoddy reporting.

Per this link, the crowd was bigger (though it seems a goodly bit of that was press). It is likely that Bloomberg had the crowd hand-picked and frisked and wanded. But outside, the crowd was respectable:

That doesn't mean Bloomberg is a massive threat. But when some dude on FR can point out that the Washington Examiner screwed up, it doesn't help matters.

He’ll throw in the towel after his ego is massaged a bit more and just dump millions into the Democrat loser who prevails at convention.

In this picture, I’m seeing the rest of the customers studiously avoiding looking at the freak show at the one table... One mommy is telling her kid not to stare at the nasty people. Where is the rush for autographs?

let’s see now, one billion dollars divided by 45 people equals, uh, well, worse than Jeb Bush, MUCH worse than Jeb Bush ...

Shuck, they throw 45 Democrat protesters OUT of a Trump rally.

Interesting number, 45. Trump is president 45.

Bloomberg, the numbers foretell a disaster for ya!

About as “respectable” as you would expect a “crowd” of Bloomberg supporters would be.

There are actually more people than that if you do the homework. And the point remains...I expect FakeNews from their side, not "our" side.

It is perfectly fine to report that $1bn only got Bloomie between 100-150 people in San Antonio, even with the help of Judge Judy. But to bias the reporting when it's not needed only destroys credibility.

Bloomberg is a megalomaniac and thinks HE can save the nation. He will appeal to many people but not nearly enough Dems to make a difference in the primaries. But he MAY go independent and given that Trump won by 78k votes in 2016, we should take nothing for granted...you know, like how Hillary though it was in the bag.

PETA claims they believe Bloomberg is a vegan. Went to a steakhouse in 2009 and refrained from eating beef.

Looks like they went to a Texas BarBQ shop and avoided eating any meat.

“The national RealClearPolitics polling average has Bloomberg in fifth among the Dem candidates at 5.8%”

but if you look at the individual state primary polls, Bloomberg barely registers, if he registers at all, which is an interesting dichotomy ...

Your link to the SA Express?

San Antonio Express-News endorsed Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential general election. San Antonio Express-News endorsed Marco Rubio for the Republican presidential primary.

LINK

If you counted the police, staff, and those who just happened to be in the area as "attendees" (like the SA Express would do)...then maybe.
