Trump is on the ropes. A one hundred million dollar advertising campaign right now would probably finish him. It would also make him crazier.

(22,911 posts)and fund a foundation with the several billion dollars it has been said it will take to shore up the ability of state and local authorities to conduct safe and efficient elections in the fall. Then that money should be made available to the election systems that need it in order to be ready in time. I'm thinking about the 3 or so billion dollars contained (I believe) in the Heroes Act for election safety, which no doubt will not pass through Congress given Trump's opposition to mail in voting and the like. Not only Bloomberg, but Gates and Buffet and no doubt there are others who could spare a half billion or more to protect our democracy this fall. The States don't have all the needed the money on their own.
