Time for Bloomberg to use his ad money to highlight the problem areas of Sanders' background

It would be the best use for the money now.

Vet Sanders as much as possible -- make sure voters are aware of the problems -- before he secures the nomination and then the GOP destroys him.

I posted about this yesterday. IMO it's a win-win - either it takes Bernie down and gives us a potentially more electable candidate, or people don't care and we'll know Bernie isn't as unelectable as some fear. Plus it'll be old news by November.

Dude is 78 with a recent heart attack under his belt. If he picks a weak ass VP and then tips over from another heart event...I can't even imagine. What if he picks Tulski?!?!?!?!?

....caucus, and tied in an open primary.

Still almost 3900 delegates up for grabs and LOTS of closed primaries to come.

The problem is, a lot of the "dirt" on Bernie is consistent with his history and current stances. It might be weird, but that's part of Bernie's brand.

That is what attracts him to his base-so running ads highlighting that is not going to help. I think the only way out is if it becomes more of a 1-on-1 contest after Super Tuesday.

He has been, and I believe he has pledged to continue, regardless of whether he's the nominee.

I want everyone bombarded by hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bloomberg anti-Trump ads. God knows there's enough material to work with.
