Bloomberg plans to spend $100 million on anti-Trump ads in key states(CNN)Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to spend $100 million on an anti-Donald Trump ad blitz in key 2020 battleground states.
A Bloomberg spokesperson told CNN the digital campaign will target Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin starting Friday and will run through the end of the primary season. The ads will not feature Bloomberg.
The ad blitz comes as Bloomberg is making moves toward a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Bloomberg has filed the necessary paperwork to get on the ballot in Alabama and Arkansas, but is not expected to be on the ballot in New Hampshire. Bloomberg has not announced a final decision on whether to enter the Democratic primary race.
"Mike believes that Trump is an existential threat to the country. He's not waiting to take on the President, he's starting now. This is all hands on deck," Bloomberg spokesman Jason Schechter told CNN.

But it would be great if he did, can you imagine letting people go one by one and replacing with real journalists?

(3,283 posts)I said this in the other thread about this topic:
He should not join the race, and should spend his money attacking Trump on the airways, and eventually supporting the Democratic nominee, whoever it ends up being. Use that money to saturate the air with Trump's misdeeds, double dealings, corruption, lies, self-serving, nepotism, incompetence, racism, sexism, and fascism. That is something useful that Bloomberg could put his money into without jumping into the already overcrowded primary pool.
