Billionaire presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg spent more than $463 million in the first two months of his campaign, a report filed to the Federal Election Commission reveals.

The former New York Mayor poured $220 million of his own money into his campaign in January alone, including $126.5 million on TV ads and $45.5 million on online advertising.

Bloomberg pledged at the start of his Democratic campaign bid to only use his own cash and take no outside donations, which he has stuck to.

The new campaign disclosure shows that Bloomberg's campaign spent on average around $7 million per day in January.

All that money spent. And he still will come up *short* in the election.

I think he’s just working around the election laws on finance limits. I’m not convinced that he really wants to win.

They reduced the height of the typical lecterns by about one foot. They look foolish, all to accommodate mini-mike.

At least he is helping boost the economy nationwide. He should be encouraged. Four years ago Jeb Bush spent about a million dollars per vote.

Bloomberg, so far, has amassed zero votes.

Yes he's singlehandedly keeping a lot of zombie broadcast media alive.

President Trump calling him Mini Mike Bloomberg is a great nickname.

$463 MILLION

For $6 million he could have had titanium leg extenders implanted, his eyes chemically turned blue, and hired Biden's dentist to install a fake smile. Can you imagine what Hillary Clinton might look like after $463 million in plastic surgery?

I won’t fault him for spending his own money in the way he chooses, but I can sure find plenty of better ways (in my opinion) to go through $400+ million.

Nothing kills a great ad campaign faster than a bad product.

Already spent 1/3rd of Hillary’s entire election funding, and we’re just past the second state party primary vote.

Gonna be a very expensive election for the Democrats to lose.
