First off, it fits here next to the other threads. Really nice!
Second, with the amount of $$$ spent; we will be discussing him.

The Bloomberg campaign has spent more than $70 million on Facebook and Google ads in the last year, far outspending his Democratic rivals and Trump, according to Democratic digital firm Bully Pulpit Interactive.
The campaign's digital arm is Hawkfish LLC, which Bloomberg founded as a counterweight to the Republican digital operation. It will be funded through November regardless of whether Bloomberg wins the nomination.

I'm seeing way too many Bloomberg ads. I'll vote Trump over Bloomberg.

No matter the side one rests on this issue....it really is remarkable that a man entered into(bought) a presidential election fairly quickly. I have read somewhere that he pays nearly double of the tech industry average wages for memes, social media, etc.

Bloomberg donated $300,000 to the DNC, and so they made a rules change for him...
Kyle Kulinsky talks about more Bloomberg bribery in the attached video.
We have the best democracy money can buy!

We love billionaire propaganda everywhere....why not in our politics?
The link did do a decent job related to bais associated with oligarchs.. Doomburg is one.

How is Bloomberg any worse than Sanders? They're both compromise candidates that one would only vote for to avoid a reelection of trump.

What a bizarre thing to say. Is that some kind of humour?
Ha ha. Very funny.

If Sanders (any candidate, really)had the cash like Bloomburg, he would be doing the same spending.

You mean Sanders is your first choice? If so, that's a bizarre thing to say.

More bizarreness. Sanders is the first choice of 10s of millions of Americans.
How many Americans equate him with Bloomberg? Count so far...you.

Why would you want someone who has such a slim chance of surviving even a single term as president? Is it just to get him elected on principle?

Because he stands for what I believe in.
5 minutes of that is better than none at all.
I would hope that if the old man did croak in office, this movement he is leading would be better established and able to carry on the fight than if he was denied the presidency altogether.
Is that your biggest reservation about Bernie Sanders, that he is elderly and may pass before he finishes a presidency?

So, it is just principle for you. You don't actually believe that a President can accomplish anything in 5 minutes.
I would have voted for Bernie last time. This time, I'll likely vote for Cory Booker.

He would have left a Vice President who will carry on his agenda.

I'm expecting that as well. In fact, I think it's important for him. He'd be stupid at this point to take Warren for VP, who was once a viable option.
I'm still hoping for Tulsi. She is well liked by the right and may even help take some votes from Trump.
