This is from a leftwing publication, but it was the only source for how Bloomberg's ads will effect things.

If Bloomberg is going to spend so much on ads this early, will it even have an impact in November.

From the Democrat perspective, at best Bloomberg's ad spending will have no impact, at worst, it could hurt them.

You can reach a point of saturation that will alienate people.

Bloomberg is so smug his saturation point will be reached in no time at all.

“advertising space is not unlimited”

Horseshiite.

Modern ad targeting can get so granular to actually make virtually limitless space.

want to runs ads in CA? County? Zip Code? Gender? Income? Race? Device Specific? and on and on and on . . .

Let Bloomie spend his money.
Boosting the Trump Boom even more!

Roll MAGA, Roll!

Bloomy & Steyer are dropping a billion dollars of dark money into the race on schedule.

This was all planned out...they are not running to win anything. This was the best & quickest way to dump big money on Trump’s head and circumventing any campaign laws.

I saw a Mike commercial for the first time last evening

It showed repeated views of Trump swinging a golf club deep in the weeds.

It was downright funny to declare Trump to be playing out in the severe rough

nickcarraway :" ..Bloomberg’s deluge of spending threatens to swamp
all other potential advertisers—political or not—and drive up the price of buying an ad."

Bloomberg's rabid anti-Trump war chest and campaign monies
may just assure a Trump victory.
He is single-handedly squeezing out other viable candidates,
and is proving that 'big money', whether individual or corporate sourced,
can affect election results.
Fortunately, he has much baggage,that when known to the electorate,
should signal his election demise.
He represents the NYC elite, that Fredo's older brother thinks should rule the State.
Little wonder why 30- 40 miles out of NYC proper, the mood of the State is Conservative,
and resents the NYC metropolitan political monopoly.
At that point, I am sure he will pour in an equal amount of money
towards anyone the DNC Selects.

Bloomy is trying to outdo Yeb! as the most expensive failed nomination seeker.

Bloomberg only has to beat demented and angry Democratic opponents.

He won in NYC.

I never watch TV. Mrs. R2 does. The Voice, Chicago Fire and stuff like that.

She asked me the other day who Bloomberg is. His TV commercials are everywhere. Here in Red State Texas.

Dirt Eating Beto had a better chance of winning!

I gave her the data... Liberal Jewish Billionaire from NYC.

Thhis raises a curious situation. Many on the Left rate money in politics as the #1 issue, even more important than Climate Change, Gun Control, any ism. That is because it is money that is preventing the progressive agenda.

They blamed Koch Bros. Some are still blaming the Koch Bros for Trump. Never mind the facts. The facts are that big money loses as often as it wins. Hillary far out spent Trump. In Senate and House races, it has become quite difficult to buy a seat.

Currently in divisive GA GOP primary the candidate willing to spend 20 million is projected to lose to a relative pauper.

Biden has raised and spent the least of the top 10 candidates. Yet he is doing quite well.

But watch for hypocrisy to raise its ugly head.
