Question: Why is he running for President? He can do this without watering down the field!

Bloomberg has been steadily pumping tens of millions of $ into the broader Dem effort to defeat Trump, part of a move to improve his standing in the party for his presidential campaign
quietly giving the party $625K to dist to infrastructure efforts atop the $175K req of all cand for access to the DNC’s voter data. His campaign plans to rally wealthy NY activists and donors to give more money to state parties for their programs to register and turn out voters
In other words, trying to buy the candidacy🤬
When he travels, large sums of his money tend to precede him or get left in his wake. When he makes phone calls, rank-and-file Democratic leaders buzz with excitement at the possibility of a check. It is a distinct advantage that no
other candidate has ever had — an effectively bottomless pocketbook to achieve his aims of making himself the nominee and defeating Trump.

When he began talking with members of the TX Dems the promise of a coinciding check hung in the air. Bloomberg’s aides told them he was
running not just for the nomination, but to build the state party and to increase Democratic turnout, a project for which he has committed at least $15 million nationwide.

Not counting the unknown cost of his campaign staff or overhead, he has already committed more than $95M
to broadcast ads for his campaign, $100M to digital spending against Trump in swing states, $15M or more for voter reg and protection efforts, and the $10M he has given to defend Dem House members deemed vulnerable because of the party’s impeachment effort.
Most of the money he has donated elsewhere comes without direct strings attached to his presidential effort. He gave much more to Emily’s List, a group that supports only female candidates who favor abortion rights. This week he sent another $5M to Abrams’s new voter protection
initiative, a part of the $15M voter effort.

He is the only candidate who will be able to travel to key cities in swing states, like Detroit, Durham, N.C., and Minneapolis, and boast about the city programs he is funding. And this spring he announced two $10M grants with the
governors of Pennsylvania and Michigan — two of the three usually Democratic states Trump flipped in 2016 — to fight opioid addiction.

This money is flowing regardless. Don't let him buy the election, that's called bribery, and it isn't that different from what Trump did🇺🇸
