Ad spending on the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries has surpassed $1 billion — a record-shattering number with four months to go before the Democratic Party convention, a new analysis released Thursday reveals.

Billionaire former three-term New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has already spent $539 million on ads, the report by Advertising Analytics found. It had been previously reported that Bloomberg broke the record for TV and radio ad spending for a presidential campaign.

“Michael Bloomberg is the $500M+ elephant at the center of the Democratic primary and has fundamentally changed the election with his billions,” the study said.

Sure glad that the Democrat Party is a party of the poor working class!

Let’s rephrase that to “Sure glad that the Democrat Party is a party of the rich jerkoff class”. (Steyer, Bloomberg, Disney leaders, Bezos - Amazon, Steyer, the Clintons and the Obamas - how many houses do they have between them, and then throw in Comrade Sanders 3 dachas).

Oh, it is hard being a poor Democrat since the almost all moneybags of the Democrat Party are white, rich, elitists, live in great houses (many), send their kids to elite schools, vacation all over the world whenever they feel like it, have their own private jets, avoid paying taxes whenever they can, sponge off of drooling admirers, lie about their past, their infidelities, their tax-avoidance schemes, and won’t take in the homeless in their many unused houses.

Ain’t it great being a poor Democrat, esp. in Southside Chicago, North Philly, San Francisco, Oakland, Houston, Albuquerque, Tulsa (see Live PD for proof of that), Newark/Camden, Detroit, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and LA.

Registered Democrats in NV - 698,000. Registered Democrats that participated in 2016 Caucus - 84,000. Registered Democrats that participated in 2020 Caucus - 14,000. Registered Democrats that voted for Unregistered Democrat Bernie Sanders - 6,000. Media calls it a landslide.

Nothing but a wealth transfer from a leftist politician to leftist media outlets, aka a circle jerk.
