Mike Bloomberg's $34M ad buy is the equivalent of the typical American writing a check for $39 bucks

Mike Bloomberg’s $34M ad buy is the equivalent of the typical American writing a check for $39 bucks.

I’ll say that again.

Mike Bloomberg spending $34M of his own money on politics is like the median American family spending $39 on a movie night.

like about 300 or so. Not knowing the net work of Bloomberg I don't know which is correct.

I find it offensive and insulting that this Billionaire thinks he can come in here and buy the Democratic Primary. Stay home, Bloomberg. No one wants you here. You are the opposite of a democratic, grass roots Candidate.

Another fellow on his show said Bloomy might spend a cool 1 billion on his presidential run …. His poll numbers are bound to go up …..I wonder how much they will rise ? .. He's avoided rural Iowa and small town NH ...Is he going to meet the peasants at all ?

A REAL billionaire is coming for a FAKE one. I'm sorry y'all this is hilarious. Yes I would definitely support Michael Bloomberg if he was the DEMOCRATIC nominee. Absolutely.
