Bloomberg makes debate stage, facing Dem rivals for 1st time

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.Billionaire Mike Bloomberg has qualified for the upcoming Democratic presidential debate, marking the first time he’ll stand alongside the rivals he has so far avoided by bypassing the early voting states and using his personal fortune to define himself through television ads.

Bloomberg's campaign said that it was seeing “a groundswell of support across the country” and that qualifying for Wednesday's debate “is the latest sign that Mike's plan and ability to defeat Donald Trump is resonating with more Americans.” The prime-time event will be a stark departure from Bloomberg's highly choreographed campaign. He’s poured more than $300 million into television advertising, a way to define himself for voters without facing criticism. While he’s campaigned in more than two dozen states, he does not take questions from voters and delivers a standard stump speech that lasts less than 15 minutes, often reading from a teleprompter.

Yep! Bloomberg’s “qualifications” comes with a $ sign and two commas. The DNC will do and allow anything to thwart Bernie being their nomine; just like in 2016.

Sucks to be us.....

I can't wait for Bernie to destroy him

NEW: Mike Bloomberg buys himself into upcoming Democratic presidential debate. FIFY. FakeNews

Not because he deserves it but because he throws away Millions like they are Pennies.

Bloomberg HAS to get on the debate stage and the talk shows and take tough questions. Election2020

This can only be good for trump. He gets to work up his “I understand and represent middle America” routine. Which he does extremely well.

This is what you call a One and Done. One Debate and he'll be Done.

How is it even possible that MikeBloomberg is still a candidate?! Apologizes notwithstanding, ANY Republican would have been immediately forced to withdraw in the face of those exact same blatantly racist comments.

He bought his way in! BloombergIsARacist

Expect a Tweet-storm from the Betrayer-in-Chief this morning about Mike2020 Trump and his GOPComplicitTraitors are losing it. (Sorry, but they are.)

newschannelnine Haha DNC proves what everyone already knows they will lie and cheat or be bought without a care of the true democratic process.

Well after 450 million dollars according to news he made it let's see how he fares now ? What a way to get there ? Fair to other Democrats? We will find out?

Eh, he only qualifies cause he has money. Nobody is supporting that slimeball, not even the DNC

This outta be good. 😂

Pollsters and Media have figured out that if they keep Bloomberg in the race, they are the ones that benefit from Bloomberg’s deep pocket.

Does he get a stool to stand on? 😂😂😂😂

The DNC is broke and has tens of millions in debt. They are literally running on loans. It was ripe for someone to come in and buy up the nomination. The party should just die off like it should have decades ago.

DNC's reaction at these accusations in the comments.

'qualifies' = bought
