Mike Bloomberg to double ad spending following Iowa Caucus disaster

[IamChromatica 2,025]

”Mr. Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor whose campaign is fueled by a multibillion-dollar personal fortune, conferred with advisers on Tuesday morning about the muddled results in Iowa. Encouraged by the murky outcome, Mr. Bloomberg authorized his campaign team to double his spending on television commercials in every market where he is currently advertising and expand his campaign’s field staff to more than two thousand people, strategists involved in the conversations said.“

Good for him. But if after Super Tuesday, the moderates dont remain with only one candidate, Bernie will win no matter how much money he puts into ads.

I'm pretty sure everyone will increase spending after that mess.

Well its not like theres even results lmao

[Gov Hooka 8,008]

He's absolute trash and the people that work for his campaign sold their souls

A nightmare

Everyone left running needs to stand up and say that it is wrong for Bloomberg to be on the debates and for him to buy his way into this election.

This is a sad day for actual democracy.

Kind of a waste but that’s where all campaign donations go right so.. at least it’s not supporters money lol

>expand his campaign’s field staff to more than two thousand people

 

Omg I have a chance now.  Submitting my application.

But!!! Conspiracy!?!?!

 Gaslighting is so effective. I thought Dems were too stupid to beat Trump at his own rhetorical campaign strategy, but here we are with them using pages from the same playbook

I feel like Bloombergs ad's are having a negative effect. I see his ads so many times that it's exhausting, his name is overexposed and I went from having no opinion of him to an extremely negative one due to how the ads are shoving him down our throats. I actually haven't heard his voice once either, I have no idea who he is or what he sounds like. Just soundbites of other people saying how he will "get things done." This is a terrible strategy and I have a feeling it will be studied in modern marketing classes. I can't imaging what it will be like with double the ad spending, jesus christ.

To add to this - 

If you liked Cory Booker, or Castro, or Yang, or any other candidate who didnt qualify for a debate or didn't receive a good amount of coverage based on their donors/funding, we need to send the message to the DNC that refusing to change the rules for some candidates, but doing so when offered money for others is WRONG.

I'm confused by this though. Bloomberg isn't as left as Bernie. He's more where Biden and Klobuchar are. So wouldn't he be taking votes from them?

Until money dont get completely  out of politics, DNC shouldn't change the rules, especially during an election circle. Let's not make rules that the Republicans dont need to respect.

Also, I dont get this "buying votes" narrative. There are other people in this race who promised free money monthly if they win.
