I like the ad where he is at a podium saying stuff about pre-existing conditions. They are attempting to make it appear that he is addressing a crowd. But he is obviously in front of a green screen. It’s really cheesy. And poorly done.

So. Keep spending mike.

He could have changed a lot of lives with all that money. What a waste.

Bloomberg lacks vision? So you aren’t impressed at his desire to ban big gulp type sodas as a visionary idea ??

Sarcasm......

Oh I think Bernie is running to win...Bloomsberg is running to bypass donor limits, this way he gets to spread vast sums wherever he wants to bash Trump..he can flood the airwaves.

And people say billionaires don’t help the economy.

> I haven’t seen any so I’d be interested if they are focused about slamming Trump more than Bloomsbergs platform. <

The Bloomberg ads I’ve seen focus more on him than on Trump. They start with some woman saying something like “Mike Bloomberg did a great job as mayor of New York.” Then they show clips of Bloomberg talking to people.

Dull stuff. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was running for president of the local Chamber of Commerce.

He can spend it... but he isn’t going to beat Trump...

Nobody can.

Just like in 16, there is only 1 person who can beat Trump and that’s Trump...

And that ain’t happening.

Thanks... sounds like he’s not serious about winning rather tooting his horn how wonderful he is. Bland stuff indeed.

If this billion dollars was going into the parts of the economy that actually produced something of value, I’d be okay with him spreading his wealth. However, probably 95% of this money will be in “ad buys”, which will do nothing but line the pockets of his media cronies. And about the only thing that industry “produces” is a large percentage of the excrement found in the streets.

Hey Bloomie, let’s hear how much you intend on spending to beat Bernie or Warren (though it seems like both are working hard to sink their own campaigns, so you can expect a discount.)

It won’t matter. Trump is going to wipe the floor with the Donkeys in November.

He appears to be a very pompous, self-loving creature who thinks his money can buy and win a national election. I don’t think so.

He knows he can’t get the nomination. But he hates Trump, Trump’s support for 2nd Amendment, Trump’s walkaway from Paris Accord, Trump’s America First policies and most importantly he hates Trump’s belief in fewer regulations and greater liberty. So Bloomie will create an anti Trump PAC that will run anti Trump ads everywhere for the next 10 months. Viewers will see 20 of these ads a day. They can have an effect.

Cause, ya know, it’s not like Soros spends that much every election or anything. This is totally new, a billionaire spending countless dollars on campaign.
