We are going to keep the House blue. We are going to flip the Senate blue.

And we are going to defeat Donald Trump.

We’ll do that because of groups like @SwingLeft. I’m glad to play my part. https://t.co/7WXa9vQ8lx— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) March 17, 2020

It wasn’t his money.

Where do you think those trillions of dollars went under Obama?

Think about it, and the people behind all of the huge mega corporations...many of which have never made a profit...

They might yet. Trump isn’t doing himself any favors allowing States to declare martial law.

Mike Bloomberg spent $1 billion dollars, and never made it through the first few primaries, only winning in American Samoa. The Democrats would have us believe, however, that the Russians were able to rig the 2016 presidential race by buying some Facebook ads.

He could have built a hospital research wing for the analysis and prevention of infectious diseases and be forever memorialized for his selfless act of philanthropy... but no.

Obviously you don’t understand HOW this nation works, what “rights” states have re making decisions about what goes on in them,or the FACT that NO state has “declared Martial Law”, which is beyond their purview!
