Michael Bloomberg has committed to spending AT LEAST $100,000,000.00 of his own money in his presidential bid, some reports say he is prepared to spend up to a BILLION dollars!
His add blitz has already moved him into 5th place, and he is closing in on the 4th slot.
Let's face it, when all is said and done, his massive high dollar media blitz will ensure him the nomination.
As a Warren supporter, I find it very difficult to have to, in Jill Biden's words, "swallow" this reality, but face it... Bloomberg is inevitable.
Sigh.
Well, I will support the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is. Even a billionaire.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
