Go Bloomberg and thank you!


At least his money is going into circulation in the USA and not hidden offshore.

He is announcing to the world his intention instead of hiding behind a dark money pac. Or forming a foundation or institute to appear to be a public service group like the Kochs do.

If the Koch bros and Adelson can spend endless amounts of cash on the election why not Bloomberg.

Adelson gave $200 million in 2020 to Trump and $100 million in 2016

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...icans-congress

" Adelson, who in tandem with his Israeli-born wife, Miriam, donated more than $100m to Super Pacs and dark money groups in each of the last two presidential cycles, could wind up contributing close to $200m in 2020"

What, you don't like rich people spending money? At least it's keeping people employed.

Stop lying. Not even a fraction of what Soros, Bloomberg and the plethora of other Democrat supporters spend.

Usually rich men spend their money on young, beautiful women, but 'Mini' Mike doesn't attract women no matter how rich he is - so with no male power he has to make up for that in political power... very pathetic!

There IS such thing as too much advertising. People stop paying attention.

Most Jewish in Florida are already Democrats. And from New York/New Jersey. He probably would have done well in Florida had he actually lasted in the primaries.


But, Trump is the most Israel positive President in a long time. And he's making in-roads that way.

Maybe so. Bloomberg's organization said they have very carefully targeted where and how much money is going to Florida.

It won't take very long to see if the contributions make a difference in pubic opinion, and it won't be much longer for us to know if an opinion change is seen in the voting.

Timing could well be a part of Bloomberg's plan. It's a big shot of money that's coming very late in the campaign.

Outside money is targeting Latino vote for Biden. They are are making a hard run at it

'The Cavalry is Coming:' Lincoln Project Joins With National Latino Groups To Boost Biden

Quote:
The Lincoln Project, a well-funded group started by veterans of Republican campaigns that has produced electric anti-Trump ads, has teamed up with the on-the-ground expertise of grassroots groups that engage Latino voters each cycle, Newsweek has exclusively learned.

"There's a sense of urgency, and to a large extent, a feeling that the Biden campaign is lackluster in reaching out to the Latino community," said Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a longtime national Hispanic group, "so we're having to go to third parties like The Lincoln Project to activate the Latino community, because the Biden campaign has been so unresponsive to Latino organizations."
Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project has been a Florida GOP operative for over 25 years...he know's where to go. I wish him the best of luck.

IMO...no-one can predict where Florida is going to end up
