"SNIP.....

“Michael Bloomberg has decided to form a new independent expenditure campaign that will absorb hundreds of his presidential campaign staff in six swing states to work to elect the Democratic nominee this fall,” the Washington Post reports.

“The new group, with a name that is still undisclosed because its trademark application is in process, would also be a vehicle for Bloomberg to spend money on advertising to attack President Trump and support the Democratic nominee.”

The battleground states: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida and North Carolina. The consensus electoral map shows all of these states as Toss Ups, with the exception of Michigan which leans blue.

Which we know will be littered with GOP turdlets. We need our messaging to be laser-focused and money begets quality.

Thank you Michael Bloomberg. Not the right candidate, but the right man at the right time for the Democratic Party.

Go Joe!

The Republicans form these things to pour tens of millions of dollars into, in order to muck up every election for us. Bloombeg can pour two BILLION into one without dipping into petty cash. See how long it takes them to start whining about dark money influencing our elections THEN.

What goes around..........

Now, he doesn't even really need to confine his ads to supporting one candidate. He can just do Trump attack ads.
