1. I don't care for Bloomberg

but his ads are great as a rule.

[rzemanfl]

4. +1 n/t.

[Iliyah]

2. Oh snap . . .

LOL

3. Beautiful - appreciate the effort and expense, but he might need to get passed Bernie,

before worrying so much about trump.

6. No, those ads help all the candidates and the Party. The other candidates should attack trump more.

[jmg257]

7. As I said, I appreciate it. But attacking trump now is trying to convince the convinced.

We KNOW who trump is.

The candidates need to win NOW, in order to beat trump then.

11. Come on, we Dem/DU political junkies know this stuff but many average people don't.

Extend your thinking. Advertising works and Bloomberg hired expert professionals who know this and know what they're doing.

How do you think Bloomberg came up in the public consciousness so quickly after getting in the campaign so late and without being in the debates?

Heavy advertising in diverse, varied ways and media is how.

13. Agreed - I get that. People love MRB here because he attacks trump, even though he's...creepy.

And luckily Mike has the funds where he could attack everyone at the same time if he wanted to.

Agreed he polls well exactly because of his $$$ spent on advertising.


All I am saying is even Bloomberg knows he needs to stop Bernie NOW if he even wants to get to trump.

14. IMO Sanders has benefited from his showing in 2 tiny, nearly all-white states. Let's see if things..

stay that way after black, Asian and Latinx voters have their say.

15. Definitely, but you may have seen Bloomberg campaign's own memo(?).

Mike Bloomberg's campaign is sounding the alarm that Bernie Sanders will soon amass an unsurmountable delegate lead if the Democratic field stays split — and took the extraordinary step of suggesting laggards should drop out.

What they're saying: Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg's top strategist, said: "The fact is if the state of this race remains status quo — with Biden, Pete and Amy in the race on Super Tuesday — Bernie is likely to open up a delegate lead that seems nearly impossible to overcome."

"I don’t think many people understand the dire circumstances here."

MRB may not have all that much time to figure it out...SUper Tuesday...

17. We'll see. He has what now, 20 some delegates from Iowa and NH. 1991 are needed.

I believe Buttigieg in fact has slightly more. It's way too early to concede to Sanders. 48 more states and a couple of territories still have to vote.

18. Today's the day

Huge Latino population. Bernie’s got this.

[brush]

19. We'll see. And FYI: There are still 47 more states and territories who still have to vote...

after Nevada. There's quite a ways to go. 1991 delegates are needed and he has 20 something. Buttigieg in fact as slightly more.

Hello!

[jimfields33]

22. Hello! You are right!

Long road ahead.

[jimfields33]

9. Everyone know this already

I’m glad he’s leaving Bernie alone though.

12. See post #11

5. Hate to tell Mike

But most the folks in the strip are tourists and don't vote there. Citizens of Nevada are inside at work or working elsewhere!

[Hoyt]

8. He's not advertising for Nevada primaries, or any primaries. He's advertising for Nov 3rd.

[brush]

10. Not quite, there are thousands of local workers on the strip working 3 shifts who see them...

or hear the buzz about them. And the tourists who see the ads vote in their home states so the messages extend beyond Vegas and benefit all the Dem candidates in future primaries.

Tcat's good advertising, and advertising works. People don't spend millions on something that doesn't work.

[BlueIdaho]

21. He's not on the ballot in Nevada

I’m sure he’s just making his presence known.

16. Thanks, thanks and thanks again!!!

My daughter thinks "cheats at golf" will get under Trump's skin the most.

20. Good way to reach people like me who don't watch TV ads.
