But can Bloomberg excite the voters?

..if trump wins its a moot point anyway!

He's running to defeat Trump. His ads are pretty good. They're anti-Trump, about issues that people care about.

He did it in 2018, and he’ll do it this year.

A billion dollars. To defeat tRump. That’s the kind of D we probably need this time around.

contributing to the Dems in general if he loses the primaries. I know he backs Dems but Bloomberg is putting this out there now, maybe to get the same commitment from Steyer.

asking for a friend...

He said he would donate a million, and would get enough other Hollywood rich celebrity types to finish out the 1 billion.

And he CAN do it.

Personally, I want him to die in jail. (preferably along with his spawn) But that is just me.

A $Billion Super PAC that bombards swing states with negative ads about Trump would be a game changer.

But above all, Dems need a well funded social media campaign that uses the same types of micro targeted ads they got Trump elected.

in the 2016 election.

Say what you want, it might not have even been legal, but Trump’s social media campaign completely blind sided Democrats. We had no idea what was happening.

laughed at there. It was pretty openly done. So we knew. There was also a social network campaign to not like Nancy Pelosi just before the 2018 elections. Again it was obvious she was being targeted and some of us pointed out what a star she was as politicians go. Many people on the DU thought she should not be Speaker. Then Dems won. She became Speaker again. And she is amazing. It will happen again that people on the DU get fooled. And me. And it will happen all over. So we have to be ninja's and be prepared to duck and jump and spin and fight all these bullshit narratives. But i have to believe Democrats have a plan for that.

They targeted swing voters in swing states and they made ads specific to each voter, they made millions of different ads. It was highly effective and when Comey announced what he did a week before the election it drove it all home.

If he gave the max to every democrat running in the House and Senate, that would not come close to a billion. If can give only $2800 to the Democratic Party presidential nominee.
Looks like he will humiliate Trump by spending money that Trump doesn't have on ads against Trump. The worst thing that he can do to Trump is flatout say that Trump is not a billionaire like him, that would likely give the orange asshole a deadly coronary.

state Democratic Party and still fall way, way short of a billion. He seems to have a plan, glad that his billion is for us instead of against us.

...Bernie and Liz in my case!!!

I think the race is going to very close and very dirty. Remember, trump is the dirtiest of dirty politicians, and he's not above doing anything to win, including cheating and colluding with our enemies.

.....Trump has had more than three years to show himself..He is to most of us, an ugly, dirty, awful person..Far dirtier and uglier than anyone imagined. Many were willing to give him a chance and voted for him on that chance that Trump would become a better person when he won...
..... He has had his chance,& he lost it. It is over and he will lose in my opinion. You may not know it, but most of the people in the U.S.A. are embarrassed by Trump. We know it. Most of the world knows it, but Trump does not know it. Here is a person, Bloomberg, who is going to spend this money to defeat Trump. Why?
.... Bloomberg knows Trump and what he really is. Bloomberg wants him gone, as we do. Our country's future needs Trump gone to survive.
......No it will not be close, because Trump has shown himself to be what he always has been+++++ an awful, dirty, ugly, rotten, vicious, stupid, and absurd crook. Trump will lose as bad as McGovern lost in 72. We will all see what happens.
........ Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men?.... We all know. Don't we?

But the media keeps trying their damndest to convince us it is a neck and neck horse race, that half the country is ready to race to the polls and re-elect him. And the public doesn't seem to recognize that they are making money off the horse race.

If as many sit on their ass at home this time as in 2016, then add the voter purges, the voter repression, the gerrymandered districts and the stupidity of the voting public, it may be difficult to get the huge win needed to make it an unquestionable victory. And it needs to be such an unquestionable victory that he can't even begin to call it "rigged".

I have lost my faith in the American public. I'm afraid more people care about the super bowl than the election.

Then I read a hopeful outlook like yours, and I get hopeful again.

I am suffering from major whiplash...

Good. Keep him angry, and keep him pointed in the right direction.

What that really means is there will be .....unlimited money for the Democratic candidate

UNLIMITED,
UNLIMITED,
UNLIMITED,
UNLIMITED,
UNLIMITED.........enough for whatever happens...whenever it happens, however it happens......

As anyone knows, money is what makes politics work or not work. This means, we will have a great deal more than we ever imagined. And, that money will not be a problem for us. You see, here is the truth.............and it is the total truth as to why this is happening.................

Blumberg hates Trump as much as we do.

Nevermind Adleson, Pickens, Solenberg, and a dozen other reactionary plutocrats.

I'm just hoping Jeff 'Bozo' Bazos (as Trump dubbed him) will start a grudge match, and donate a piffling TEN billion.

...It won't matter how much money is spent because Trump has shown all of us his true self. Trump's true self is ugly. Whatever that means for you is what Trump is and will always be.

Don’t we?

The only reason we need 'our own' set of billionaires is to fight THEIR set of billionaires. But if somebody passed a law making them pay the same taxes as the rest of us; and were limited to $2000 political donations like the rest of us, I'd like them just fine.

Getting worried?

Couldn't he? Use some vanilla named Pacs. Have it all purchased on all channels from the conventions until election day. Run ads for the Democrat and videos of kittens. BwAHAHAha !

Smart, self made, one of the ten richest men in the world, and a creator of a successful and useful business. I don't agree with Bloomberg's policies but I have always respected him as a businessman.

Are already giving trump and republicans that amount to bribe them and funneled to them to use for their campaigns. Especially from putin to insure they'll lift sanctions for getting them re-elected. The prince for protection and selling them more weapons.

I applaud them both.

and, supposedly had been working with some Silcon Valley types to counteract the influence of Cambridge Analytica to help microtargeting GOTV operations.

To effectively undo the damage of the last 4 years we need control of the Senate.

another Dem candidate. I'm disappointed :
