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.

I think Mini Mike will get the nomination eventually.
The dem party is always for sale.
He just has to figure out who he needs to pay off.

Bloomberg, IMHO wants to play kingmaker... he doesn’t want to be president, but knows his money will buy him enough influence that the other candidates are going to have to eventually come to him.. not only for money (like always) but the 20% or so of the vote totals he’s getting.

I still say that if the D’s are gonna sell their worthless nomination, they should put it up for public auction on eBay and let all of us bid. /mush fairer, more “democratic” that way. s

> 1,852 Tesla Roadsters.

i typically think in terms of ford gt re-issues or ford gt replicas although lately i have been tempted by the corvette c8 as well as the porsche gt3. along with any or all of those, i could probably get a tesla roadster since elon musk is such a cool guy and i hear that the teslas accelerate very well. anyways, all i need now to act is more money lol.

Not quite. He’s put a lot of money into middle class pockets, which they in turn spend on groceries, rent, bills etc. By the time he’s done spreading a reported up to $5 Billion around, he’d have provided a nice little boost to the economies of lots of small towns.
I’d encourage him to continue spending.

Ha, ha, that’s great! I hope somebody can find the video of Trump carrying a baby at his rally with Bloomberg’s face superimposed on the baby.

Mini Mike is the poster boy for MSM.
Politically dumber than a bag hammers and he gives them life blood AD dollars.
MSM gives mini Mike air time.
Mini Mike gives more money for ads.
It is the perfect MSM scheme. The more they say his name the more advertising dollars they get
