While Bloomberg has campaigned in all 14 Super Tuesday states, he's particularly focused on states rarely visited by Democrats in primary fights: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, as well as Texas and North Carolina because of their more centrist lean. Bloomberg made stops in all of those states in the days before Tuesday's contests.
He has promised to build a broad coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents — all political affiliations he has shared at some point in his life. Christy Dunbar, a chief financial officer for a small business and a lifelong Republican who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, attended Bloomberg's rally in Blountville, Tenn., last Friday."I've crossed party lines to vote for my first Democrat for president," she told NPR.
Bloomberg victories in any number of Super Tuesday states would almost certainly keep him in the race and scramble the math for clinching the Democratic nomination. One sign of confidence: He plans to spend Tuesday campaigning in Florida ahead of the state's March 17 contest. However, failure to win a single state — for a campaign that staked it all on Super Tuesday — would likely leave Bloomberg with no viable path to the nomination and calls for him to drop out of the race.
Wow that's more than 1 million per person
Who is more stupid, the man who pisses away a fortune or the news moderator who verbally masturbates nonsense on a nightly basis?
Now I understand the action in the stock market. All this volatility is making someone a lot of money. Looks like someone is trying to recoup 500 Millions dollars. Just thinking out loud.
Epic fail
A fool and his money are soon parted, he gone!
Hey Brian Williams says you own me $1m call me 😂😂
Bloomberg can’t buy an election spending +$500,000,000 yet you try and convince everyone Russia bought the 2016 election on just $200,000 Facebook ads... lmao.
Billionaires only become billionaires by under paying employees who actually make that money then they use the infrastructure and government to strip mine society. They should be in prison.
So!!!!!!
It’s still a mind blowing amount of money!
And, along with fellow billionaire, Steyer, got bounced out of the race.
But his candidacy turned the tide for Biden and his ads were tremendously successful; much better by far than any Dems; then we have somnambulant Tom Perez. Really people; we should be thanking Bloomberg, not criticizing him. The goal is to rid ourselves of RUSSIANS,Trump & GOP
His ADS were the best. Thank you Mike Bloomberg for fighting in what you believed in.
it's not self funded, that money came from workers too, they just didn't give it to him willingly
He has a fortune, now he wants all the power
😆😆😆
Love it when a democrat spends oodles of money for nothing. It is a heart-warming thing to see. Mini Mike, you have outdone yourself.MAGAKAG
Stonekeeper3 😳
Damn ......!!
You need to get youth out to vote NPR, The USA needs Sanders to be the nominee more than ever. Heal America’s division and identity politics and give back its soul. BernieSanders
He could have fed so many people.
It's still not as expensive as Bloomberg's ego. Clearly another billionaire with narcissistic tendencies. Bloomberg bribed the NY political establishment to remove term limits so he could be mayor for a 3rd term. Sound familiar? That's eerily Trump like.
He could've fixed Flint Michigan with all that wasted money. And he probably would have done better in the polls if he would have......
Disgusting.
How many schools loans could that money paid off?
I love how Bloomberg creates such unity in America. We all want him go go the hell away and never come back.
That is like me spending $100 on a new toy for my son .
Disgusting. He could have used that money to reinfranchise former inmates who can't vote until their fines are paid off but sure, running a vanity campaign is just what this country needs.
Makes no sense- if he wants to just lose money why not just give to charity that a can really do something with it
🤮🤮🤮
Half a billion dollars for 4 delegates?
Disgusting supertuesday2020
Absolute monster.
Again $500 million, your worth and accomplishments as a president would not equate to this amount of money and it is better spent on humanitarian and other worthy things. This could be said about any politician and leader.
DemVoters did y'all hear this lying Bloomberg down in Florida saying he tells the truth, well he must forgot the lies he told on the Central Park five falsely acuse young men, and the lies he told on those women he made sign a agree to be quite. Now he's n Florida lying.
Imagine using that much money to accomplish things instead of wasting it on an election. We need money out of politics
$ would be better spent on food, pizza, snacks, and disinfectant wipes!
Imagine, what that kind of money, could do for the homeless!! MikeBloomberg
All this for 4 delegates in American Samoa?
Well at least it bought him American Samoa?
Even now in USA The Money Talks ?
He will spend the billion, just to stay in until the contestant convention. He never mentioned $$s, but did say that was his plan.
Ask Bloomberg to buzz off. Democracy is not for sale.
Sickening
This is why people don't like Billionaires. Eating all that money on bullshit. That could've done actual good in many communities in the country and globally tbh.
He could have used that money to fight Corona Virus. Trump just donated his salary to fight it.
wish i have that kind of money just to throw away for nothing
It’s not gonna happen with him. He just is not it. Bloombergs debate performances were dismal, his record as a Republican mayor is alienating, his views towards women and LGBTQ just wrong. Money and vanity with no reflection or self awareness.
500 million dollars wasted..😂
“You can’t take it with you!”
Idiot He would have had more support if he had used 450 million to help the homeless population and 50 million on his campaign. Again Idiot
And he loses bigly in Vermont and Virginia.
Man, how much actual good could that have done? A billionaire doesn't have to be president to do good things. Would be nice if Mini Mike would know that.
Ridiculous. Drop out and put his $$$ on Joe and down ballots candidates
What a colossal waste of money.
i got so much junk mail from bloomburg he lost my vote because of my environmental concerns.
So many trees died with the giant fliers he sent out. We received at least 5 in one week just from his campaign. 😮
Guillotine
Self promotion gone wrong
Guess those Bloomberg YouTube ads were for nothing hm? Embarrassing... He probably would of won if former major Bloomberg didn't have cops racial profile in New York.
Can you even imagine how many schools, feeding ministries, health clinics could have benefited from that amount of money? How much is the cost of power?
And absolutely ZERO to show for it...what a disaster!!! MiniMikeBloomberg
That money could really help many struggling families....sad that running for mass power is more important 🤬
all for nothing
Too bad that's not going to help him
money cant buy you charisma baby...its ok....you be ok
Jali_Cat The old adage - money can’t buy you love... Bloomberg is not stupid like sleepy creepy Joe- but he lacks charisma and height. “No boxes Bloomberg” can spend another Billion - he is not going anywhere near the White House!
Jali_Cat Something’s fishy! I don’t believe he’s that stupid, it’s another scam
Yeah our mailers went directly in the recycling bin without so much as a glance
Imagine if he had spent that on flipping the Senate instead of this vanity project.
Talk about a colossal waste of time and money...
gross
That money didn’t just evaporate into thin air All sorts of media companies got that money 💰
Mike2020! He gets my vote in California
The ultra-corrupt Clintons couldn’t even buy/rig 2016, so I don’t know why Bloomberg thinks he will be any more successful. Money can’t buy charisma! KAG Trump2020 SuperTuesday
Maybe if he spends $500 billion he will get to 5%...
Disgusting.
MAGA777999 Bold prediction: Blooming just spent 500M per delegate.
In the last week I have received the most expensive looking mailings from Mike Bloomberg. And there must have been at least 20 different cards, pamphlets and letters. In a week!!
What a waste.
How to make friends and influence disengaged voters who won't show up at the voter's booth. Bloomberg
MikeBloomberg should have dropped out before Amy or Pete. He's lost any respect he earned. Drop out, Mike.
Not even close to the amount of free press trump got in 2016
The world:
Imagine if all that money was given to people in need.
Imagine spending half a billion on a vanity project that gets you no where ? Lol
All to get beaten by clowns like quid pro joe, comrade Bernie, pocahontas and buttplug. Even in the Democratic party he's still getting beaten and they are just as racist and hates constitutional rights just as much
I guess when you can't be the people's president like Bernie, you have to self-fund...
Man no wonder I been seeing Bloomberg everywhere I go
SorryNotSorry Voted for ewarren I’ve been waiting to vote for Warren for years. Win or lose, a vote for Warren us a vote for her platform And I’m Nov., I’ll VoteBlueNoMatterWho
He really didn't know what to spend his money on. He might as well have just threw his money in the trash.
Wasted money
I’m sick and tired of hearing his ads all the time on one of my fave radio stations to and from work. It’s overkill! He is not doing good. He should drop out and help the Democrats across the board.
Bloomberg should not be in the race since he's not gotten a single vote before today. No candidate should be able to buy his way in.
..Or in milk price terms, almost 143 million gallons of milk. Enough to fill about 48 thousand tanker trucks.
Throwing good $ after bad
And put him in Whitehouse, he will break all time corruption records to recoup this spend. Only BernieSanders2020
Should have used it to buy Fox news.
MSN $500 mill is just chump change for Mike!
YO NPR, FOLLOW THE $$$, WILL BITCHBERG GET A TAX BREAK OR REFUND FROM THIS?
It's disgusting that he has that much money to waste. 💅
Who?
Well just more reasons that SOME billionaires have zero idea what the most normal person goes through. The amount of help you could have done with that money. But I'm a firm believer its your money WASTE it how you want but i have less respect for you then I did before.
I really don't like this dude.
A man of the people right there. I mean who among us hasn't spent half a billion dollars wastefully
This is....obscene.
Just think of all the good half a billion dollars could have done for the people of this nation? Instead, it goes to corp media.
A real democratic candidate paying whatever is necessary to stop the progressive agenda, couldn’t be more 2020
This guy...
While I appreciate the vigorous voice Bloomberg adds, he also needs to respect the voices of voters who don't have billions and NOT abuse his accumulated capital to undermine these voices. Replacing foreign interference with domestic interference isn't a large improvement.
Money down the drain.
Comparatively, that's like what, a new TV for normal people? Man, I'd be pissed.
NOMINEE for the 2020 Clinton Award for Most Anti-Other Party Candidate Advertisements During the Primary Season: MikeBloomberg!
Could have fixed Flint 10 times by now 🤷♂️
Netting 0 delegates
500 MILLION COULD OF BEEN PUT IN SS, this is how selfish MikeBloomberg really is
Absolutely! Go get’em Mike .
If he wanted to blow $500m and be a loser he could have just bought the Senators
Greed and ego already cause enough societal havoc. MikeBloomberg your $ would be better spent on COVID-19 research. DropOutBloomberg
When your worth 65billion and your company has 10 Bill annual income. This is nothing for him.
Screw this rich asshat. He is the only one running I would stay home for.
I’ll never understand why Bloomberg spent all that money when he knows he has no real chance getting nominated.
He would’ve done better if he put my ass and titties in the ada
Hope it doesn't work. I hope we are getting to a point where we are ready to vote for more than their money.
Clean drinking water for everyone that's in need Or... Advertising for an asshole who won't even be the candidate?
Yep Oligarchs buy power .. Bloomberg is a Republican Trump clone
That’s less than 1% of his wealth.
and it's gross!
The fact that one man has this much money makes my fucking blood boil. Thanks assholes!
MikeBloomberg my house is literally falling apart. Your bathroom is probably bigger than the whole thing. Can you give me $20,000 fix it up, since you have extra cash?
joanneintexas My opinion: Anybody who rolls the dice on $500M throw, hopefully will never lead me. Vote Trump.
his stench even make’s the prez smell better
You mean he's bought a spot in the race. Is that the America we want
A drop in the bucket to this guy. I just hope he keeps exposing trump when he doesn’t get the nod.
This guy could've actually done great things to improve American lives with $500,000,000. But instead he's running a vanity campaign trying to buy the presidency. At least we know what his priorities are.
Campaign finance reform needed. You shouldn't have to be rich to run for office. You shouldn't be able to buy a public office.
Completely gross.
Could have donated that money to a good cause.
It's a good. Let the money trickle down out of his pocket
What a waste - he should be ashamed!
Good thing Trump gave him tax cuts or he might not be able to afford to do this. 🙄
Bloomberg has no policy that shows signs of appeal to a broad spectrum. He’ll pay you somehow or other for you vote though. Shall we just forgo elections from now on and let the rich guys lead US? Not for me thanks.
NBC,CBS, ABC, CNN, ESPN etc Marketing and Adverstising Departments say Thank You!
And it’ll all be for nothing, because nobody is even voting for the guy😭
He's spending his money to get rid of trump. No better use than that.
rfhbill newsworthy perhaps
On a related note: this man is worth $60 BILLION dollars. Why do we have billionaires again? Much less ones who have TENS of billions? Or hundreds?
meh. He’s our best candidate for “Most Boring Man in the World.”
Thanks Mike.
Mike Bloomberg: from New York to Washington
Bloomberg wants us in the timeline where it's a fake billionaire fighting a real billionaire for control of the machinery of government.
Just think of all the poor, hungry people he could have helped with all that money. He's not going to be president.
Sure wish I had 500 million to throw away.
He's playing on the simpletons of America who will vote based on political ads they see on the TV. LoL Subliminal 😏
ideas so lackluster they need to be bouyed on a sea of cash get any visibility.
Dear Mike, Respectfully, please gtfo of this race. Signed, A bunch of us that don’t want an election bought by another billionaire
Oh for gawds sake fuck MikeBloomberg
MikeBloomberg Goddamnit. A BAD idea!
The dems trying to buy the beige house from a billionaire who already bought it. Crooked pollitos getting more crooked.
Is this what happens when you make more money than God...you actually want to be God?
Dropout now and take your billions ego elsewhere!
Yeah...but he also said he won his 1st debate and people think he’s 6 feet tall. He jokes a lot🤷🏽♀️
Give it up Mike.
People with money sometimes think they can buy anything.
What an ass!
Bloomberg believes he can have whatever he aims his money at; like when he bought an unprecedented 3d term as mayor of ny then made sure no one else had that opportunity.
Guillotine
Don’t be that way Mike
He is going to buy the super delegates.
What a waste of money. Think of all the good he could have done with all that cash.
🤦🏼♀️
I think that is a bad idea.
'Even if the voters don't want me, I have money to buy the nomination anyways' - Mike Bloomberg
Dirty pool.
ByeFelicia
Just. Go. Away. Mike.
Asaaaaargh.
He should just drop out and focus on anti-trump ads. I dont know that his endorsing anyone would be a boost at this point. All that money he has spent on himself could have gone to dem congressional campaigns for a chance for change. Like KY, SC.
MikeBloomberg was inserted into this race by the GOP - I guarantee it.
Hey MikeBloomberg
Why isn’t he going after trumps republican nomination?
He bought this nomination fair and square, darn it! :-)
Love it
Spoil the election, Trump wins. A brilliant billionaire.
If this fucker hijacks the party then I sign up for a third party for 2024.
Jerk
Read the sign's Mike; this country is'nt ready for your kind of mioptic mind set
Where does all that money end up? Because it sure does NOT help the American people.
No to oligarchs buying the presidency
Fuck this guy now.
So Mayor ‘Stop and Frisk’ if the people that DIDN’T vote for U during the primaries, they will MAGICALLY change their minds and vote for U at the convention?!🤷🏾♂️ Pls let the ‘will of the people’ dictate the next Democratic nominee & NOT some backdoor maneuvering!!!🤬
Buying it
Dude he has 36 billion dollars, he could light 500 million on fire and not lose sleep.
What is the point? If he does not win the primary he pretty much is not popular ...
What a turd.
MikeBloomberg doesn't give a damn about democracy or beating trump. He's doing this BS just to protect his billions and make sure that the plutocracy stays in power. BloombergTheOpportunistSlimebag
MikeBloomberg is clearly trying to get to a contested convention so he can buy off all the superdelegates and steal the nomination. He doesn’t have the support of the people so it’s his only way. Total scum.
Should this creepy little man successfully buy the Democrat Party nomination, it should not be considered legitimate. Bernie Bros, you know what to do.
He was a horrible Selfish mayor . I don't want someone in office who thinks they can just buy the White house . That's worse or as bad as Trump HE IS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE
Do Billionaires always say the quiet parts out loud.
Delusional
Oh FFS. Like that’ll help
MikeBloomberg Please do what's right for the Democratic Party. Drop out. Put all of your money & support behind JoeBiden Let's see if you, like Amy & Pete, put America ahead of yourself in order for us to destroy Trump in Nov. Sir, put your money where your mouth is. 💖
Sorry Nosferatu, the will of the people will be upheld. Scurry on back to your decrepit layer, never to be heard from again.
He is delusional! Power crazy!
EGO
He plans to buy 1,991 delegates. At $100K a piece, it would only cost him $199,100,000 (less than half of what he has already spent) SuperTuesday
YOU HAVE LOST ME MIKE WITH THIS NONSENSE
Bug off Billionaire
Fox 🦊 in the den
He's going to keep throwing massive amounts of money at the DNC until he's nominated or totally eliminated.
Yeah, BUT. Bloom doesn't specify WHICH convention. IF/WHEN Trump implodes. In reaction, Dems take hard Left. Bloomberg, having already spent 1/2 B$ defending 'the business community', Will 'accept' a GOP draft. Talk about dividing the 'Jewish vote'.
Barf
🤨He needs to GTFO.
MikeBloomberg if this is true then you have no more respect for democracy than Trump.
If only Mike Bloomberg would invest that money in helping Democrats hold the House and take back the Senate instead of his quixotic run for the Presidency.
MikeBloomberg is just the Democratic version of POTUS. But Mike does have more common sense, tact and money.
The DNC is owned by the Clintons. Super delegates will determine the nomonee. No one will be a clear winner during the contested convention, leading to round two - The brokered convention. During the brokered convention, Hillary Clinton will be chosen as the DNC nomonee.
This virus hoax is a bigger hoax than the global warming climate change hoax. People are so stupid.
Is he working for the Dems or the Repubs Hard to tell these days.
What the hell is his endgame here? The guy basically bought a nomination, hasn't even been on the ballot yet, polls in the low 10s, stands to lose badly on Super Tuesday, and his idea of a 'win' is the most destructive path possible? Like I get you spent a lot of money but damn
The taxpayers fund our elections The democrats say the Russian's are always influencing the elections The democrats want billions more for 'election security' But they meet in their sandbox at their conventions and plan to change the election results if they don't come out right
Ugh!!! He sucks sooooo much!!!!
Bloomberg is unashamedly manipulative.
Bloomberg's managed a hostile takeover of America's mailboxes. Let's leave it at that.
Trump 2.0
Let him spend his money.
They take your vote away and then blast you for not voting their candidate. Smdh.
Whatever happened to 'I'll drop out and support the eventual nominee with my money'? He needs to leave, ASAP.
That was the plan all along, he can't win with the Dem base and knows it. He'll try to steal the nomination. Want a real disaster? This will get it. Want the Dem base out to get the parties elites? This will get that as well.
His promise to support the nominee didn't last long!
Will Bloomberg run as an Independent?
Bloomberg2020 politics money
So he is a 🤥too? Two months ago he was going to back($$$)whoever was the candidate
He's gonna lose and drop out
This must have its own category of mental illness.
If he had donated that money to great causes...bigger impact?
Me: stretches and yawns nice attack ads though. He can keep doing that.
That's as bad as Trump spending $132 million of taxpayer's money to cheat at golf. At least it's Mike's own money, though think of the good he could have done for the needy.
🤷🏽♀️
it's called wealth redistribution, he lives it
And they call this a democracy. Publicly funded campaigns are the only way forward.
Could have just donated that money to communities across the country instead
Will be viewed as a bad investment in a few weeks, he will probably write it off as a tax deduction for the next ten years!
This time he spent it on himself vs. improving the lives of many- sorry not my option for President! Same,same as the one we have now. Except he has “real” money
Does anyone measure what all this does to goose the economy?
NeverMike
And to think what he could have done with that money instead.....
Might have been more persuasive if he had stuffed my mailbox with actual cash instead of flyers. Just saying. KillIt
Imagine... what he could of done with that money, instead of buying tv ads?
Good for him. All that money went back into the American economy. That is how capitalism is suppossed to work... If you vote for him, you might have some screws loose...
While Bloomberg spends his after-tax $ Trump steals our tax $ for his campaign - Trump uses taxpayer $ to pay himself thrice for his stay in his hotel +staff stay, bribes taxfunds for fake dirt on opponents, gets illegal? txfr$ from Russia, Saudis & uses campaign$ for payoffs
All that money just to lose. He could’ve ended homelessness in 5 states with that.
Imagine what good he could’ve done with that kind of cash. Instead, he’s plugged literally everything with ads.
Want help SyrianRefugees need some of your money
All for nothing, I could could have used that money.
While Thousands are homeless.
Don't worry, he can afford it.
He can spend 1 billion and it will not help him whatsoever, releasing those women out of their contracts to allow them to share their stories about his code of conduct issues seem to be more relevant or have we lost all transparency requirements of our leaders....oh wait
That’s pennies to him.
Buying an election...I hope he loses.
Heads or tails?
Waste of money.
That money should really be invested into anything. Seriously, any state devasted by a catastrophe could benefit from it. Any country, same thing.
He stepped in too late. Ad-spend cannot make up for the time he didn’t spend debating and taking positions on the issues.
How is this allowed?! Are the rules different for donating to your own campaign?
An embarrassment to our country...think what this money could have done for those in need...
Keep going man, can't wait for MikeBloomberg to be broke and a loser.
He should send 1M my way. Two tears in a bucket!
Bloomberg2020
Gross. If he actually cared he'd put money into actual candidates.
At least it is self funded
NOT HAPPENING! NOT LIKABLE!
Every ad targets trumps. Billboards in Vegas? “trump cheats at golf.” Etc etc etc. the target is trump primarily.
Could have built allot of homeless shelters. Or better yet public restrooms in democratic cities
Most of us can only dream about that kind of money.
Imagine the legacy he could have created through philanthropy on the same scale. Funding schools, scholarships, paying down debt, helping fund infrastructure in forgotten towns, paying legal defence fees for those fighting injustices, public health initiatives. Greed chases power
Pissing it all away...for nothing
Why didn't he run as a Republican?
Dude give it up and help and win with your billions.
Selfish. If MikeBloomberg really cared, he'd liquidate his wealth and put it into the people who need it.
That money would have been much more useful registering voters and supporting down ballot Dems
Trump would be soooo jealous by this press
Gross.
He’s done some disastrous debates and is still popular. What does that say about us?
I keep picturing Bloomberg in Heath Ledger's Joker costume setting a huge pile of money on fire.
And just imagine what Bloomberg and Steyer’s money could have done funding other, well qualified, candidates (Kamala Harris comes to mind) instead of their vanity campaigns...
Just think of how much better that money would have served had it not be wasted on his massive ego. thisisAmerica removetheTrumpstain
Biggest waste of money ever
Imagine what that $500 million could’ve paid for that would’ve actually made a difference. He’s not interested in anything other than buying a position of power for HIMSELF. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
That leaves him only 55.5 billion dollars.
What percentage of GDP is election related costs? Are we creating dependency on constant electioneering (and punditry) to fuel parts of our economy? What proportion of small town Iowa/New Hampshire tourism services (hotels restaurants, etc.) are election press/campaign staff?
What a HugeWaste of money. 😀
scary and gross
In a perfect world, he could suspend and throw the money behind the best bet to defeat trump. But, ego is such a BIG mountain to climb over. Rather than me or nobody......
He is trying to BUY the road to the Presidency! He is worth $50 BILLION and HALF a BILLION bucks is POCKET CHANGE to HIM!
Like we need another super wealthy person telling us struggling citizens how he can relate.
yeah, but the Facebook ads dropped yesterday, right Olivianuzzi?
Let Bloomberg piss away more money...😂😂😂
What a waste of money.
Awesome. I love seeing him waste his money.
And yet, as a proportion of his wealth, he's spent about as much as the average person spends on a family dinner at a nice restaurant.
