Liberal billionaire Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is whipping out ridiculous amounts of cash to beat President Donald Trump in November. Recent Federal Election Commission records revealed that the campaign for the billionaire owner of Bloomberg News had spent over a whopping $180 million just in the first month of his candidacy, CNBC reported Jan. 31. “Bloomberg spent more during that month than any of his individual Democratic rivals have raised in total during the cycle,” [emphasis added], CNBC said. Bloomberg had also personally contributed over $200 million to his own campaign.

You can't spend yourself out of being a first class jerk (from Medford Massachusetts pronounced Meffe). hehe

He won't buy his way to the Presidency. Hillary tried, look where she ended up. Nobody running for the Dems is as charismatic as Trump. Bloomberg should be happy running his business instead of throwing away sums of money that would cloth & feed thousands. What a SCHMUCK.

The best ads in the world cannot help sell a bad product... And Bloomberg's product comes up a little short.

I wouldn't underestimate this megalomaniac. He set his sights on the Virginia legislature and succeeded in engineering the disaster on our hands today. I don't think he will win the D nomination, but that doesn't mean that he cannot wreak havoc on the country.

Good job, Mr. Mayor! You have a great chance...if you just can convince folks you aren't simply a little bitty control freak with delusions of grandeur. Spend, Mikey, spend! The more, the better.

I remember that years ago, John Connally ran for the GOP nomination. Spent several million dollars and got ONE delegate. I'm thinking that Bloombag will exceed that price easily.

It's his money and he can do with it as he pleases. If he wishes to throw it away (which he is) it tells me he would be a not so good a choice for the Presidency. I want a President
who is smart and who will spend my money wisely and not throw it away as Mr. Bloomberg is doing. We already have Donald J. Trump. The position is already filled. The November 2020 election is just a formality.

Bloomberg may be more dangerous to our democratic republic than George Soros.
And I ask, once more, why did K.T. McFarland hire the employee of Soros, Dr. Fiona Hill? That was insane, to bring into the National Security Council the hatchet faced Brit.

No one spends that amount of money in the political arena without wanting something in return.
The questions should be: what are you getting for all this spending?
What are you buying? Access? Quid Pro Quo?

Mini Mike has the Napolean complex. He thinks only "he" knows what is best for everyone else from diet, to guns, to Big Gulps, to poor people making bad choices if they are left with disposable income to spend (so therefore they must be taxed to protect them from themselves), ... And to think, they throw the Hitler term at our side!

All of Lil’Mike’s commercials begin with a huge lie. They are everywhere spewing lies and fake news. President Trump should sue Lil’Mike.

Crap, now I have to stop watching Judge Judy. Probably not a bad thing because she has turned into a screaming harridan. It's embarrassing how she conducts herself these days. And I was a staunch fan for years.

Hmm, what could I have done with $180 million. First off travel, buy lots of new clothes, a pretty house. Then I'd donate to charities, especially those for children. I'd sponsor kids who couldn't afford college. The serious ones with good minds. I guess I'd give a few family members some of the money - maybe. But wasting it to run for an office I know I can't win - would never enter my mind.

His loyalties are only to himself. Beware. He's a megalomaniac.
Is this guy even taking donations?

Gee. He spent $180 million and all he's getting is a lousy box to stand on at the podium.

And that's just the first month! A fool and his money, right? Except - whatever negatives I may think of Lil' Mike, Fool is not one of them. Billionaires don't just toss around 180 Large for play money. He has a good chance at Not winning. So. What's he REALLY getting for his 'investment' ?

All of the candidates have spent millions for a job that pays $400k. Must be the perks.
