Seeing his commercials in my state where democrats never campaign in seems like a waste of funds.

That’s $200 million that is no longer available for gun control campaigns.

Are the liberals, who eschew the big money in politics, concerned about Bloomberg spending all this money on his campaign?

Will the liberals lecture him, about how many hungry children could be fed with that money, or how we could have built housing for the poor, or fought global warming with that money instead?

200 million would build a fine homeless shelter in NYC, it’s a wasted expenditure just for an ego build. Hypocrite.

In the time it takes Mike Bloomburg to say “ten thousand dollars”, he probably makes ten thousand dollars. His wealth isn’t limitless, but it’s about as close as it gets.

Jeb Bush must be smiling. He not going to be the records holder for most spent per vote in a primary anymore.

The former three-term New York City mayor is spending so much money on television spots across the country that it’s squeezing out air time for others and causing ad rates to soar

The part in bold is probably intentional. This may be the first Democratic race where one guy's money drowns out the other candidates. Whatever the other guys spend, combined, Bloomberg just adds another zero to the end.

As a historical point, who was the last Jew who even came close to winning POTUS? Barry Goldwater is the only name that comes to mind and I’m not sure I would call his campaign “close”....Any others?

We’ve already got the building for it. It’s called the UN for now.

Bloomberg has spent almost twice as much as Jeb spent in 2016, and so far he’s getting less than half as much in results. They spend their campaign money as wastefully as they spend our money.

He’s a one-man stimulus package.

Wow! That makes Bloomberg my favorite progressive.

He took the title from Beto O’York who single-handedly threw over 100 million progressive bucks in the toilet when you add the Senate race to his presidential bid.
