Bernie bros hate Bloomberg, and are already super pissed he appears to be buying the nomination. It's enjoyable to watch.
I heard hes spending $38 per second on his campaign.
He could have helped so many with all that money. What a waste.
From now on if any Trump voters see mini Mike, they need to start shouting
Mini Mike! Stand up Mini Mike!!
As Joe Biden would say, Yeah, stand up Mike, and pull out your wallet...oh, he is standing up
Those Bloomberg adds are everywhere. They are nothing but lies. And I stop watching whatever they appear on.
The guy thinks he’s the reincarnation of Jeb Bush.
That’s not counting the thousands of political organizers he’s hired at salaries in the $300K range for the capos and $72K for the soldiers. If the blended amount is $150K and he’s hired 2000 people, that’s an annual run rate of $300m, which he has pledged to fund, regardless of whether he gets the nomination. This is basically a carbon copy of his NYC mayoral runs - saturation ad buys that drown out his opponents combined with an army of paid GOTV organizers and barrages of endorsements from influential local pols. For instance, he has secured endorsements from Houston’s, San Francisco’s and DC’s mayors.
Mr. Trippi called substantial pay such as what Mr. Bloomberg was offering plausible for a campaigns staff members in key early-voting states, like Iowa or New Hampshire, but highly unusual as a standard for employees across regions and even more so for the apparent sense of job security through the fall. Thats never happened before, he said.
Reflecting similar premiums, Mr. Bloombergs state communications directors and state political directors uniformly receive $12,000 monthly, according to the campaign, while state press secretaries make $10,000 monthly and the campaigns national political director commands $30,000 a month, or $360,000 annually.
James A. Thurber, a professor of government who founded the Campaign Management Institute at American University, said money was an unlikely motivator in campaign work, but he called some of Mr. Bloombergs spending necessary.
Since hes gotten in so late, hes got to pay above-market salaries to get good people to jump in at all levels, Dr. Thurber said. You cant win a campaign on an air war, he said, referring to a blitz of advertising. Youve got to have a ground war. He knows that, so hes buying the ground war.
I cant tell you the pleasure of having someone call me and ask, Who are important people in the community? said Patricia Halfen Wexler, a venture capitalist who spoke in support of Mr. Bloomberg at one of his recent rallies, and to not have to think, Who can give money?]
After a couple of dozen exposures I believe the ads will start pissing people off.
You really don’t want to piss voters off.
Economic stimulus 2020
Ignore Bloomy and work on triggering Bernie Bros. tell the truth , yes, the Dems are buying the election. Lo friggn l
I think Bloomberg is a totalitarian control freak who desires the power to micromanage the lives of Americans to the point that he can dictate what food someone is allowed to buy when they eat at. A restaurant.
That is what matters.
ROTFLMAO!!! Worst of all, it’s completely, literally true. Just ask the ghosts of JFK and LBJ. Then throw in RFk & MLK. De DemokShits, de just be dat way.
You spelled “have FOUND OUT he’s a dwarf “ wrong...
That's a nice way of looking at it. And, since Bloomberg has sworn to spend at least $2 Billion on his campaign over a relatively short period of time, that should give a nice little bump to the economies of battleground states like Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
President Trump cheerfully and gratefully welcomes any and all stimuli to the economy which will help in his reelection. :)
This is just a fun way for him to cycle money back into the DNC I’d say.
Primarily putting his ads and time into left wing friendly stuff, so that they can in turn donate his money with a little pay off, to the DNC.
Crafty if this is so.
That’s over $700 Million spent on ads
= = =
That’s about 2.5 to 3 Mill per expected voter.
I might be bought off.
Where’s my Mills?
Buying his way to nomination.
Check his polling, for all that money spent he is doing poorly.
I hope Bloombutt blows all his money, loses, and goes on food stamps.
Already too much lipstick on the Bedbug pig
