It is estimated that, by Super Tuesday, Bloomberg will have spent a whopping $1 billion dollars blanketing immediate primary states with television and radio ads. He's even hiring actors like Michael Douglas to star in some of his ads.
At the same time, he is also jet setting around various states rubbing elbows with various politicos, which he is hoping will payoff if there is a contested convention. It is speculated that he is making a lot of PAC and issue-based funding promises in exchange for future support.
Finally, he has hired an army to work the ground and social media sites in every single Super Tuesday state. It is reported that his paid staffing (not volunteers) dwarfs that of any of his competitors.
it's pretty clear that Bloomberg is trying to buy a nomination. Indeed, he's not being remotely subtle about it. The question is whether money alone will be enough to buy this nomination right out from under Bernie or one of the other contenders.

SJG, you clearly having been tracking his poll numbers. His ads are already working and he is just getting started. He continues to rise in polls all over the country as well as in national polls.

But registered Democrats, and Primary Voting Democrats, will not vote for him.
You got any polls which say otherwise? I doubt it.
And then after he loses the Dem Nomination, for get it, only Republicans will vote for him. :) :) :).

And he is just getting started. He has enough money to hire people to knock on every door of every house, to outbid every other candidate for air wave space, to hire actors to pledge their trust and support in him, etc., etc. And by all accounts, he is prepared to spend billions. He is so rich that he makes Trump look like a pauper.
Also, you do realize that he was mayor of NYC for 11 years, right? Dems were voting for him all that time.

This isn't the 1980s anymore - today there is the 24/7 news-cycle, plus social-media, where every candidate's voice can be heard vs 30-years-ago where communication outlets were limited.
i.e. I don't think anyone can buy an election these days - this may have been "somewhat" true in the past w/ more limited communication channels - and if Bloomberg or anyone else has more resources, then so be it, but I don't think it'll be the end-all-be-all nor the determining factor - i.e. Trump supposedly spent less than all the major players in the 2016 primaries, and spent less than Hillary.

Bloomberg is spending millions on "One Arizona" in an attempt to register 250,000 Democrats in Arizona. The weekend of March 21 will have thousands of Volunteers from California registering voters near flagstaff.
THE TRIPLE FLIP TRIP:
MARCH WEEKEND OF ACTION IN ARIZONA
LED BY SWING LEFT SAN FRANCISCO AND SWING LEFT
There are four shifts total, and we hope you'll join us for as many as possible:
Saturday March 21, 2020 (two shifts)
Sunday March 22, 2020 (two shifts)
Please register through the form below and receive confirmation before booking your travel.
WHY ARIZONA AND LD-6 ARE IMPORTANT
You probably know that Arizona is a crucial state for flipping the White House and U.S. Senate, but did you know that we're very close to flipping the Arizona state legislature as well and preventing gerrymandering across Arizona? Democrats are just two seats away from flipping the Arizona State House …and only three seats from flipping the State Senate!
Join activists from the across the West as we knock on doors with local Democrats in Legislative District-6 (LD-6). This district is a top priority for Arizona Democrats, and it is considered one of the most swingable legislative districts in the state. LD-6 meanders from the northwest to the southeast of Flagstaff. (On this particular weekend, we’ll be working in a corner of LD-6 between Flagstaff and Phoenix. More location details below!)
Although Republicans currently hold all three state legislative seats in LD-6 (two state house seats and one state senate seat), Democrats came very close to winning two of the these three seats in the last two election cycles.
In 2018 in LD-6, Dems fell just 577 votes short of a state house seat (a 0.3% margin), and 1,700 votes shy of the state senate seat (a 1.8% margin)! The margins were nearly as close in 2016. This time we’re going to make sure every Democrat and friendly independent gets out to vote in order to win these two important state seats, helping us close in on our goal of FLIPPING ALL OF THE HOUSES: both of Arizona’s state houses as well as the White House and U.S. Senate.

This is getting silly now. Trump's base is firmly entrenched and he has a near 50 percent approval rating according to Rasmussen, which was one of the only polling outfits to get the 2016 election right. Bloomberg would be far more likely to peel of Dems. Shit I could even see him taking the NY electoral votes from them.
But in any event we are a long way from thinking about that. More immediate is whether he is going to spend so much money in advertising, and buy off so many super-delegates, that he takes the Dem nomination at the convention. Anyone who thinks that this is a remote possibility is not factoring either Berlin's unpopularity with party elites or the purchasing power of several billion liquid dollars.

Bloomberg has the best chance of keeping the Democratic base and getting moderates Republicans and independents. Despite yesterday's Quinnipiac polls, I'm willing to bet that Bloomberg has a far better chance of beating Trump than Sanders.
I also like the way Bloomberg bitch-slaps Trump and the way it clearly annoys Trump; Bloomberg's a real CEO, not a fake reality TV star who inherited his wealth. Bloomberg's also on the right side of many issues like incremental improvements to the healthcare system, tax reform (in the other direction), climate change, etc...
We don't have campaign finance reform yet and we don't have the luxury of worrying about the role of money in politics. Getting rid of Trump is a national emergency.

@rickdugan: "Trump's base is firmly entrenched"
Exactly this. There is absolutely nothing the democrats can do to dislodge his base. Not a single fucking this. Like I said in the other thread, Trump could almost literally eat a live baby raw, and broadcast it on live TV, and his base would be all "that's gonna piss of liberals when they see it, hehehe."
They're unified by their hate for trump haters. Schadenfreude is their reason for existence right now. He could start a nuclear war, and the brainless boobs who support him would laugh and say "good, probably get rid of some liberals this way."
And the left just keeps running the hate card, as if that will work.
Stupid fucks.

@GMD: IMHO your comments were both intellectually lazy and emotionally self indulgent. They stem from your obvious belief that anyone who doesn't agree with your views must either be stupid of brainwashed (or both). Do you by chance happen to work in academia? 😉
The reality is that, initially, Trump gained support because enough people wanted what he offered and they believed that he would actually act. Conversely, they didn't trust the establishment types to do anything that they promised - with good reason given modern history.
The reasons he has retained his core support are that:
(1) enough people continue to agree with his policy positions, whether you do or not; and
(2) perhaps most importantly, he did everything in his power to keep his campaign promises, even when his actions were met with howls of outrage and melodramatic hyperbole.
Sometimes it helps to take a step back and look at things with a dispassionate eye. Just sayin.'

How can anyone else even buy ad when he is gobbling all of it up at inflated prices? How can teams of volunteers compete with an army of 1,000 paid campaign staffers, all of whom are also enlisting volunteers and spending money? How many Super-Delegates will Bloomberg pay off with multi-million dollar PAC contributions?
I'm concerned about guys like Bernie, who already had the scales tilted against them from the start. For those who hate Trump, do the ends really justify the means? Why should a rich corporate billionaire be able to purchase a nomination? What if a better candidate, one more able to beat Trump, is pushed aside in a rigged primary process?

Or what about Amy Klobuchar, who has surged in the polls since her fine debate performance in NH? She is sharp, displays good Midwestern values and, if she keeps debating that well, could make a fine centrist contender and go toe to toe with Trump. Truth be told, she probably has a much better chance of competing with Trump in the general election than either Bernie or Buttigieg, who frankly will never gain traction with the socially conservative southern Democrats.
But on Super Tuesday, she's going to go into 15 voting jurisdictions that have been blanketed by Bloomberg for several weeks at a cost of hundreds of millions. Even if she wanted to buy ad space, her campaign can no longer afford to pay the blown up prices of whatever little remains that Bloomberg hasn't already horded.
So it's not just Bernie who could potentially be robbed. Bloomberg could also deprive the nation of its first ever female President if he succeeds in buying the nomination.

^ Finally an on topic post 25. I knew you could do it.
For starters, let me be clear that I'm a lukewarm Trump supporter at best. I support most of his policies (not all), so I held my nose and voted for him in the general, but I did not vote for him in the primaries. I am a libertarian by nature, so it is not inconceivable that I could be tempted by a centrist and/or nonconformist candidate from the other party.
But I will never face that temptation if Bloomberg buys the nomination. I will never vote for a guy who is so batshit crazy that he tried to regulate soda sizes in NYC or tried to get the NY state legislature to approve license plate readers and onerous congestion assessments at every point of entry to the city, among many other things. The guy is an authoritarian control freak who sincerely worries the libertarian in me.
Also, even though Bernie is not my cup of tea, as a voter I was appalled at what the Dem party pulled in 2016. Like Trump or not, he came about through an unfettered voting process. To me Bloomberg's money just seems like another way to keep the thumb down on people like Bernie, which should just not happen.

If Klobuchar was a republican I would consider her, but if she was elected, she'd bemnd over for the progressives and as such she must sadly remain and enemy of the state. Unlike Rick I had and have no qualms about the democrats boning an Independent in their primary. He shouldn't have even been allowed to run. If he was so popular he'd run as an independent and win, but except tor the America hating radical left and the lazy who want our money, no one likes him.

Trump and his party and his backers like Stephan Bannon use conservative cultural shibboleths to promote an economic system which completely devalues real work and is completely exploitative and unworkable. It is nothing more than a spoils system, a way of pocketing money.
Bernie Sanders, why Socialism is better than Capitalism
youtube.com
Actually even with Medicare for All, Free College, and The Green New Deal, and with UBI which Sanders is not even talking about, you still do not have Socialism.
For that you would have to also get to public ownership of all large and strategic industries.
And Sanders is only talking about Democratic Socialism.
So workers actually deliver the goods and services which are needed, not just run on a treadmill to the benefit of the financializers, while being mocked and called "losers".

It's amusing to see the handwringing from GOP-ers over campaign finance reform. Who would have known that conservatives have such a deep-seated sense of fairness?
Speaking of Wall Street, Bloomberg came out this morning with proposals that sound more like Liz Warren including (1) a tax on financial transactions (2) using DOJ to fight and prosecute corporate crime (3) bolstering Dodd-Frank, Volker rule, with more stringent bank stress-tests (4) strengthening Warren's Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.
All of the above represents a flip-flop for Bloomberg, but he's more likely than ever to get my vote. I also like the way Bloomberg takes Trump's childish Tweets and throws it back in Trump's obnoxious face.

Even Sanders' senior team is accusing Bloomberg of trying to buy a nomination. Here is a quote from one who was responding to debate rule changes that now allow Bloomberg on the stage:
"To now change the rules in the middle of the game to accommodate Mike Bloomberg, who is trying to buy his way into the Democratic nomination, is wrong," Jeff Weaver, one of Sanders' top advisers, said then. "That's the definition of a rigged system."

Here’s something to think about. Bernie is 78, had a heart attack in the last year, and refuses to release his current health records. Bloomberg is also 78 and has had stent surgery.
Trump is the youthful candidate ?

I also am concerned about age and health matters for Sanders., But these are extreme times, as evidenced by Trump's election. Do we want this country to continue, then we need to get rid of Trump.

It may cost Bloomberg an extra few hundred million to make people forget about that horrible debate performance last night. Or at least some even juicier multi-million dollar payouts to the Super-delegates who will likely decide this election in a brokered convention. Just wow.

Just let him take about 15% of the Republican vote as a third candidate in November. He will be the H. Ross Perot of 2020. Zero chance of getting the Democratic Nomination. But he has spent so much money that he is not going to stop at the Convention.
