His strategy is to buy off everyone in the Democrat Party to give him the nomination. — there simple. That’s how he operated in NYC he bought off EVERYONE.

Skipping Iowa and New Hampshire is unprecedented. I think it won’t work.

“But is it a bad thing to move beyond those small, white, rural, under-representative early states?”

It's OK to be white.

Sure, Rick is smothered in swamp.

What he lacks is appeal.

Trump will filet him in any debate.

Pick the shortest.

Physically or mentally.

Oh fudge... I thought it was going to be a cake walk... If he won’t line up with the dwarfs, it makes him a more mobile target.

Skipping Iowa & New Hampshire is an incredibly smart move - unusual for a liberal. Why kill yourself hunting for just a scant few electoral votes when a) super delegates is everything and b) Super Tuesday includes California, and they start voting before New Hampshire and on the same day as the Iowa Caucus.

Smart moves by liberals isn’t something I’d like to see. But on the flip side, you got the dunce move of ANNOUNCING these things ahead of time, so at least they’re not totally into the game yet...

Sounds like he wants to be a spoiler. Who is he attempting to help, who to hurt?

Bloomberg, who officially threw his hat in the Democratic primary ring last week, will not accept donations nor fund his own campaign, automatically disqualifying himself from the primary debates. ... But unlike Giuliani, Bloomberg has deployed a $31 million ad buy across 98 local media markets, as well as on some national cable outlets -- an unprecedented level of spending for a candidate who has just joined the race.

Well, which is it?

Finally, someone got it.

Biden is a stalking horse.
Boombug is the spoiler to take down the stalking horse.

Mooche or Hitlery will then step in. Will be an interesting cat fight.

What a funny article. Bloomberg the chipmunk will appeal to retrogrades in mommy’s basement who chew on baby blankets and own sippy cups.

On my phone so copypasting multiple pieces is a pain. Anyways, he says he's not funding his own campaign, yet somehow a couple paragraphs later, he made a $30MM ad buy? Where did all that money come from?

“He started strong with that $31.5M buy this week, but he has over-saturated the market. Too many ads make people turn off (Think Flo on Progressive - she is slowly being phased out and the ads switch up much more often now).”

equally as bad, the ad was extremely uninspiring, consisting mostly of generic platitudes and recycling the biggest political lie of the century, namely he states as part of his “plan” to give everyone health insurance, he ads: “but if you like you insurance, you can keep your insurance” ...

“He isn’t a serious candidate. He is becoming a self funded candidate so he can avoid all FEC rules and essentially donate a ton of cash to the DNC. He will run a ton of Trump hating ads that in effect will benefit whoever the dem candidate is...while pretending it’s his campaign. No matter how low he drops in polls, he will remain in the race. And that is why. Its an end run on campaign contributions.”

nonsense. bloomberg could fund all the ads for Dems, the DNC, Dem candidates, and anti-Trump ads he wants simply by establishing a PAC and donating a few billion of his dollars to his PAC ... he doesn’t need to run a pretend-campaign to do any of that ... the real money for candidates, including President Trump, isn’t the money that goes directly to the candidates, which has relatively small donation limits per individual, but the big bucks that are donated to a variety of PACs which have no limits at all for individual contributions ...

“IA and NH no longer matter AT ALL in the nomination process.”

they totally matter to non-bloomberg candidates that have to raise money, and can do that only by proving that they’re top tier candidates worthy of donating to ...

> If he promises to spend every penny he owns I promise to
> vote for him.

I wouldn’t vote for that filthy, authoritarian, totalitarian, globalist pig under any circumstances.

I hope he does spend every penny he has and will ever have.

He’s as despicable as that other billionaire, Herr Steyer, that wants to eliminate the free market that enriched them at our expense.
