Bloomberg plans to spend $100 million on anti-Trump ads in key states

(CNN)Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to spend $100 million on an anti-Donald Trump ad blitz in key 2020 battleground states.

A Bloomberg spokesperson told CNN the digital campaign will target Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin starting Friday and will run through the end of the primary season. The ads will not feature Bloomberg.

The ad blitz comes as Bloomberg is making moves toward a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Bloomberg has filed the necessary paperwork to get on the ballot in Alabama and Arkansas, but is not expected to be on the ballot in New Hampshire. Bloomberg has not announced a final decision on whether to enter the Democratic primary race.

"Mike believes that Trump is an existential threat to the country. He's not waiting to take on the President, he's starting now. This is all hands on deck," Bloomberg spokesman Jason Schechter told CNN.

1. I'll take his money

but I don't want him as President. I'm sick of billionaires.

2. I'm happy to see Bloomberg use his considerable wealth to attack Trump...

[highplainsdem]

3. Good news!

4. He can spend as much much as he likes attacking trump

and I'll be cheering him on. He can afford the best ad men, I hope he has them.

5. Any ads against Trump are well and good but

Why doesn't he take that money and buy Fox News?

8. Probably because he knows

They would take money and start a new one.

But it would be great if he did, can you imagine letting people go one by one and replacing with real journalists?

6. Great! Now spend equally massive amounts...

...to take down Moscow Mitch and Susan Collins!

7. Good news for us, and yet I can't help but feel something is so very wrong about it

9. This is a better use of his money than running.

I said this in the other thread about this topic:

He should not join the race, and should spend his money attacking Trump on the airways, and eventually supporting the Democratic nominee, whoever it ends up being. Use that money to saturate the air with Trump's misdeeds, double dealings, corruption, lies, self-serving, nepotism, incompetence, racism, sexism, and fascism. That is something useful that Bloomberg could put his money into without jumping into the already overcrowded primary pool.
