RENO, Nev. - With the Nevada caucuses less than a week away, Democratic presidential candidates campaigning Sunday were fixated on a rival who wasn't contesting the state.
Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar all targeted billionaire Mike Bloomberg, accusing him of buying his way into the election and making clear they were eager to take him on in a debate.
He thinks he can buy this election, Sanders said of the former New York mayor at a rally in Reno. Well, Ive got news for Mr. Bloomberg - the American people are sick and tired of billionaires buying elections!
Their attacks are a sign of how seriously the field is starting to take Bloomberg as he gains traction in the race and is on the cusp of qualifying for Wednesday's Democratic debate in Las Vegas. Bloomberg has bypassed the traditional early voting states including Nevada, focusing instead on the 14 states that vote in the Super Tuesday primary on March 3. He has spent more than $417 million of his own multibillion-dollar fortune on advertising nationwide, an unprecedented sum for any candidate in a primary.

So what’s the problem? Since most Dem votoers are corrupt or just plain whores this is a peefwct fit.
Theres a reason he spent $200M Seed money 2018. Did they really believe it was for them?
I think people are already getting sick of the non-stop ads. You can only take so much. And he has zero charisma and that really comes across in the ads.
Typical Dems. Buy stuff with your own money, bad! Buy stuff with other people’s money, your a man (/womyn/non-binary/prefer not to say/I don’t even know myself) of the people!
We have a winner!
Accused? He is buying this election.
JoMa
Honestly, and for arguments sake, Trump could well have been accused of the same thing in 2016, yet was not.
Why?
We conservatives know legit love of country when we see it.
They’ll all shut their yaps when they realize mini-mike is just a front for Hillary.
Bernie needs to start an ad campaign: “BERNIE, because your vote isn’t for sale.”
The check is in the mail to be cashed at your local voting station?
Cause everyone knows none of the other candidates are trying to buy it.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha...
Nonsense.
It’s legal. He’s doing it. Shut up you spoiled brats.
Hey I don’t like him or Bernie a bit, but the party is just disgusting.
Now where in the world did they get that idea?
At least he’s trying to buy it with his own money.
But they have no problem with millionaires like Hillary, Kerry, Biden, and Warren buying elections. They’re just pissed at being beaten at their own game.
How many mansions does Sandals own again. I'm sorry. Not mansions, dachas.
I've seen some of his ads from the Philadelphia marketplace. It's nothing but old political boilerplate, with about as much appeal as Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner in the box.
Nothing gets by these clowns. They are so smart and sharp!
Not that they will ever run low on them, but it’s just fine with me that the Dems just change whom they’re throwing the 4th-grade playground dirtbombs at. If it’s each other, no skin off my back.
Paying individuals to vote for you is illegal, that is buying an election. Having more money for marketing and advertising is not illegal, and it is not buying an election.
I don't buy all the "Bloomberg will get Arkancided!" stories, he's too rich and powerful. I believe if Mike does somehow will he will step aside within 100 days and hand over the Presidency to Clinton.
