Is Bloomberg still planning on helping Biden?

Or has he lost too much in the stock market? We need a tsunami of ads exposing Trump's incompetence leading to more deaths than all the wars combined since WWII. They need to be relentless from now until Nov.

If he's going to dump hundreds of millions into ads, I would prefer he do it much closer to the election. Doing it now wouldn't accomplish much.

... rest of the time fighting against those adds but then by time the 2 weeks out it was too late to change the narrative set.

... I remember hearing it on NPR that they were focusing on swing states where they put their money against rMoney early .. it was months away from the election before the summer IINM when they knew rMoney was going to make it to the top.

My understanding is they wanted to define rMoney early ... define him early and often in the swing states where the voting mattered.

The M$M still wants to focus on national polls that don't mean much because they want ratings, Obama campaign was smart to focus on swing states early IMHO

I'm defining early like before the summer started
