Has anyone heard from/about Bloomberg since he dropped out of the race?


You remember, the guy with all the money who was gonna spend it to hurt trump?

Seems to me Mr. Money Bags could afford to do a little bit of good in this virus crisis.
You know, act like maybe he cares about say, NY or NYC in its hour of need....

I don’t think the timing is quite right at the moment myself for a full in blanket TV ad campaign using the virus as a bludgeon against Trump.

People are still in the initial stages of shock and grief. The ads come when that starts to wear off and the “assessment” phase begins. Americans love to assign blame for everything. It’s one of our core values as a people. That’s when the damage is done IMO.

That's about 1 mo. ago and I suspect the group he cited has already begun.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic but I believe he hates DT enough to carry out his promise.

Terminating his field workers who he promised to pay through November to help support our nominee & abruptly ending their health insurance is obviously not a good sign.

I expected lots of anti-trump truth ads when the pandemic began.

Yes he donated the $18 mil in his campaign fund to the DNC, but wouldn't that be like one of us spending $50 on dinner?

Wondering if someone got to him or threatened him in some way?

Something just feels off.
