    Yeah Michael Bloomberg bought his way through the rest of the primary debates then when it came time for the primary vote nobody wanted him.

      That’s the one!

      Bloomberg spent nearly $1 billion on his three-month presidential campaign

      https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/bloomberg-spent-nearly-1-billion-his-three-month-presidential-campaign-n1165306

      So my next question is:

      Just 158 families have provided nearly half of the early money for efforts to capture the White House

      Just how effective is advertising in the presidential race when you can spend a billion and go no where?

        Conservatives vote out of fear. They lie awake at night terrified of their son having to play sports agains a trans boy. Advertising these moron fears is a lot easier than advertising a plan to make things better. But also Michael Bloomberg had no plan to make things better, at least for us lowly constituents.

        He was just dumb. He spent unwisely. The best things in life are free. Like the support of moguls like Murdoch from Fox News.
