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.

I've said this the minute he declared. The DNC is flat broke. Bloomberg is essentially running to fund the DNC and candidates who are vulnerable.

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 ...
Yes!
