Rival Democrats accuse Bloomberg of trying to 'buy' election

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, I’ve 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.

My recommendation to President Trump’s strategy team:

Have the President mock Biden after/if Biden loses South Carolina. That will anger Biden and make Biden determined to stay in the race.

Repeat and rinse with other Democratic candidates as needed.

That would be the White House version of “Operation Chaos”.

Dems, along with the traitor McCain, insisted on the laws that let him do this.

Mini's personal stash is insane..around $60B.

It would take over 164 years of spending $1M a day to burn through it all. Mind boggling.

Here’s an idea: To show fairness, Bernie and Bloomberg should pay off the credit card debt of all of us. Sort of like the college loan debt but for us.

Let’s do it.

A lot of parents with kids in college could believe that money could get spent quickly.

Does that mean Sanders and Biden will be returning any money from George Soros?

He bought the mid-terms for the Dem House and he will buy the presidency for himself if he can and for the candidate of his choice if he can’t get the nomination.

Everybody tries to buy elections.

Most do it with other people’s money.
