Mike Bloomberg's OTHER cash gusher: How he has donated billions to politicians, campaigns and charities - and is now raking in endorsements in return

When Mike Bloomberg held a rally this month at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the signs of his wealth and influence were everywhere.

Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, long a paid adviser to one of Bloomberg's charitable programs and now to his campaign, warmed up the crowd with chants of 'Mike will get it done!'

That followed a performance of the Nick Jonas song 'Jealous' by an a capella group from the University of Pennsylvania, where Bloomberg has funded public health research.

'Bloomberg interns' have worked at the National Constitution Center and other Philadelphia cultural sites thanks to his largesse, and Bloomberg gave the center's former CEO a $50,000 donation for his successful 2016 run for state treasurer.

Lots of stories about Bloomberg buying off all the Leftist groups and politicos in NYC during his mayoral runs.

Money and politics; what could go wrong?

I mean it’s not like elected pols could become millionaires practically overnight right?

What was that law that allowed all this extra money to flow into politics? Pretty sure it was a republican bill. We reap what we sow.

hmmm.....looks like AP is tossing Little Mikey under the bus.

Is it professional rivalry with Bloomberg News, or something more?

Yes, Virginia, you can buy an election.

Citizens United was the reason Republicans were allowed to collect monies legally just like the Dems had been doing illegally.

Bernie is too far right for journalists. To them, Bloomberg is a Republican and therefore, literally Hitler.

He’s buying superdelegates, just like Hillary did. But if he doesn’t start getting his own delegates he won’t be able to overthrow Bernie.

Bloomie’s worst self-parodying belch, to date.....indicative of his elitist mindset.

He bragged that he spent $tens of millions to “buy” the House for poor, little Dems.....

That it was he, a Republican, that “bought” back the House of Representatives for the Democrap party.

I, BLOOMBERG “Let’s just go on the record. They talk about 40 Democrats.......21 of those were people that I spent $100 million
to help elect. All of the new Democrats that came in, that put [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi in charge,
and gave the Congress the ability to control this president, I bought,” he bragged.

“All of the new Democrats that came in, that put [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi in charge,
and gave the Congress the ability to control this president, I bought,” says I, Bloomberg.

So now that impeachment flopped, I suppose Bloomie gave his souvenir pen back......

No need for tawdry reminders of Penlosi congratulating herself at the “signing ceremony.”

I wonder how much he paid Paul Ryan to assist in losing the house.

Same tactics as Soros. Same goal. Overthrow America.

[Liz]

Ryan got $$plenty, for sure.

“Is it professional rivalry with Bloomberg News, or something more?”

probably both: professional rivalry AND support for a REAL socialist, namely Comrade Bernie ... as we all know, the fake stream media is completely dominated by kommie-types ...

[Boomer]

Good point.
