Bloomberg Floods Voters with Attacks on Trump

“Hillary Clinton tried. So did 16 rival Republicans. And after hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on ads attacking Donald Trump in 2016, the results were the same: They never did much damage,” the New York Times reports.

“Now Michael Bloomberg is trying — his way — spending millions each week in an online advertising onslaught that is guided by polling and data that he and his advisers believe provide unique insight into the president’s vulnerabilities.”

“The effort, which is targeting seven battleground states where polls show Mr. Trump is likely to be competitive in November, is just one piece of an advertising campaign that is unrivaled in scope and scale. On Facebook and Google alone, where Mr. Bloomberg is most focused on attacking the president, he has spent $18 million on ads over the last month, according to Acronym, a digital messaging firm that works with Democrats.”

2. This could neutralize the heavily funded Koch ad buy in those states.

Good to see billionaires fight over what they think serves their interests. A look at this prez from "both sides" helps battleground voters.

5. Bloomberg was also very helpful in the 2018 blue wave.

I like Bloomberg a lot but I don't want him to be our nominee. Personally, I'm about ready to jump on the Biden bandwagon.

7. Bloomberg has one big problem, namely that he's a massive tool

It was the same problem Romney had in 2012: he's probably a good guy, but whenever he talks you can't help but say to yourself "holy crap that guy is a tool".
