Michael Bloomberg to spend 80 million to elect Democrats in midterms (votes, dollars)

But he said last year money can’t buy an election. Guess he excludes himself

Wow, with that kinda dough, he can contract MS-13 to do the registration drive.....

Why? Just give me the 80 million. I’ll put it to better use

It is insulting that a NYC, wall street billionaire thinks he can buy people's votes for $80 million dollars.

Seriously, just the local NYC elections would eat up $80 million in no time flat.

Good for him though. A fool and their money...

Funny to see folks who claimed a businessman would make a good POTUS whining about a businessman who's FAR more successful than the slacker who's in the White House.

Specifics in this thread? I didn't see any comments related to that by anyone here.

So what? Rick Scott spent approximately $75 million of his own money to get his Florida governorship in 2010 and another $20 million on his reelection in 2014. Who here was upset about that?

Other than the 'soft drink fiasco' and a few other things, I think Bloomberg was a pretty good mayor (certainly much better than DeBlasio). Even given that...and I don't like Trump...I have even less desire to see Bloomberg in the White House than I did Trump. Re a 'businessman' in the White House, Howard Schultz might be better than both of them.
