Bloomberg is just going to buy his way to the nomination. Every time I watch a video online I see a Bloomberg ad.
Where is the Democrat Party politicians criticism of Bloomberg using his money? Hmmm???
I hope he goes flat-busted broke and gets NOTHING from his ‘investment’.
The networks have got to love this!
Money laundering and buying the press.
That's over $700 Million spent on ads, most of it attack ads against President Trump. So why is President Trump at his highest ever approval rating of 49% at Gallup?
400 million in ads versus one tweet from President Donald John Trump and all bloomie got out of it is that people think he’s a dwarf.
Dear mr Bloomberg, that half billion $$$ could have helped so many many people get off the streets and find jobs in NYC and elsewhere. People you claim to care about ( at least in your ads, if not in your secret tape recordings). Just saying
Must be more than that - I’m seeing his stupid face on tv everywhere and hearing it on radio.
Don’t even get me started on Mike Douglas selling out his father from his death bed.
Where’s antifa and the leftists screaming about rich white dudes now?
Bloomberg spends and spends and loses
Trump is frugal and wins
Which person would you want spending your $$$$?
Nanny Bloomers is well on his way to displacing Yeb! as the most expensive failed nomination attempt.
Keep spending it Mikey... keep spending it. One of the things I liked about PDJT’s 2016 campaign was how little he spend compared to Shillary. I’d love to see Mikey blow a big hole in his wallet and get squat for it....
Mini Mike turns his lifeline over to H. Clinton. Darwin approves this action.
I heard he’s spending $38 per second on his campaign.
He could have helped so many with all that money. What a waste.
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 campaign’s 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. “That’s never happened before,” he said.
Reflecting similar premiums, Mr. Bloomberg’s 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 campaign’s 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. Bloomberg’s spending necessary.
“Since he’s gotten in so late, he’s got to pay above-market salaries to get good people to jump in at all levels,” Dr. Thurber said. “You can’t win a campaign on an air war,” he said, referring to a blitz of advertising. “You’ve got to have a ground war. He knows that, so he’s buying the ground war.”
“I can’t 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?’”]
