Michael Bloomberg launches 2020 presidential bid

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially entered the 2020 race Sunday, ending several weeks of will-he-or-won’t-he speculation about a late entry into the already-crowded Democratic primary.

Bloomberg’s entry was preceded by news of a massive television ad buy — $31 million, according to Advertising Analytics, who told NBC News it was the single largest single week expenditure they’d ever tracked. A $30 million buy in the final weeks of the 2012 race for then-President Barack Obama held the previous record.

The ad promotes Bloomberg's record as mayor and then promises "to rebuild the country and restore faith in the dream that defines us: where the wealthy will pay more in taxes and the middle class get their fair share; everyone without health insurance can get it and everyone who likes theirs, keep it; where jobs won't just help you get by but get ahead. And on all those things, Mike Bloomberg intends to make good."

Seems more of a tax write off plan than anything else.

He has a lot of money. Other than that, what does he think his qualifications for president are?

Yeah. A multi-billionaire Upper East Side NYC liberal is going to set the heart land on fire. I can feel the excitement.

Should this be posted in its own thread:

“Bloomberg News declares it won’t do any investigative reporting on Mike Bloomberg or any of his rivals in the Democratic primaries.”

If Trump/any Republican running for office owned a news organization and their editor did this there would be outrage. Unbiased news was always a fraud position but now the mask has come off.

He waited til most of the debates were over. Now, will reporters go and ask him some of the questions asked in the Dim debates already, or will Bloomie get a pass?

“I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. It’s exactly the reverse of what they say,” Bloomberg said,

FEW Rs would have the guts to say that.

That was 2013. Then he started drinking the Kool Aid regularly I guess.

Guys check out my post number 69 and you’ll see that something infected his brain since 2013.

Great statement there but then he started to go fascist and leftist and never stopped.

It’s over before it starts when that is really put out there.

And I can’t imagine it won’t be.

And he’ll apologize up and down like a coward I suppose.

but he hates apologizing.

He was trying to protect the reduced NYC crime rate then, as Mayor, but later, with other political ambitions, and a Leftist majority in NYC government, he has been seeking the Left’s support for himself; so hypocrisy takes over.

Trump should have Bloomberg news turn in their White House press passes over this.

Bloomberg inherited a safe and prosperous NYC from Giuliani.

I am overjoyed that Michael Bloomberg has tossed $31,000,000 dollars of his own money into his ad campaign to launch his 2020 POTUS campaign. That money will only help the Trump economy grow stronger!!!

Read my lips, folks,...Bloomberg, with his $31,000,000 bucks investment in his campaign is going nowhere, but down politically...he has about as much chance as becoming POTUS...as I have of eating a Swiss Cheese sandwich on the surface of the moon. And...his other buddy, the Obama protege, Deval Patrick is going nowhere fast...also. Two Losers added to the total flock of Democrat Party losers running for 2020 POTUS!!! Keep dying politically Democrat Party.

Yep....now please...I am begging all you Democrats out there in your “LaLa” land, to fully and 100% continue to support and back every move that Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler bring forth....This will lead you all right to the gates of SATAN’s Hell!!! Have fun...Democrats!!!

“Bloomberg inherited a safe and prosperous NYC from Giuliani.”

And he kept many of Giuliani’s policing policies in place.

Bloomberg was a bored billionaire who found nothing interesting anymore in the business that made him rich. And he lacked the creativity to go out and create another totally new business. So he went into politics.
