#Mini Mike, I can just buy and bury you dumb Democrat bitches/voters!
The Democrat Party picks who runs.
Things like primaries rubber stamp the Party’s selection.
The party diametrically & explicitly opposed to rich old white men buying elections is about to nominate a rich old white man buying an election.
I don’t see how this will add up to a winning number of EC votes.
When Bloomberg either doesn’t make it out of the convention or gets trounced in the general election the next billionaire will think twice about blowing his money on a fool’s errand. Better to spend your money on local races like Soros and cause rot from within. That’s actually pretty effective. Just look at San Francisco or Philadelphia.
You can’t watch You Tube for 20 minutes without seeing a half dozen of Mini Mike’s ads. The only thing he’s accomplished in my house is to make me despise him even more. That’s quite an accomplishment, I didn’t think it was possible.

I don’t see Bloomberg’s act as much different from RFK swooping into the primaries in 1968 and taking the nomination away from the original antiwar liberal candidate at the time, Eugene McCarthy, albeit losing it all when he was assassinated the night of the CA primary.
(Full disclosure: I was a 14yo McCarthybot, despised what RFK was doing; I see my young and naively stupid self in the Berniebots of today. At least I grew up, though it took almost two decades.)
Bloomberg with his continuous TV ads is causing many TVs going the way of the shoe. I would also include the TV remotes going the way of the squashed mute button.

It starts with the word "Rosebud..."
It is.
Billionaires often construct for themselves a “no rules” bubble, in which do whatever they like; they simply pay professional fixers to straighten out any consequences that emerge.
This is Hugh!
Even bigger than the Rockefellers.
And the Kenndys.
Hell, even George Washington, who owned 1/4 of Virginia.
For those born and raised in Dinuba, that’s far richer than Bloomie’s $60bil. And had established political influence far greater than his.
Yep, remember the Albright group laughing.
