Just wanna throw this out there for the people who think we need to be afraid of Bloomberg's money.

It's understandable, the guy's worth $71.5bn and could be seen, much like @realDonaldTrump , as a successful businessman who could come in and supercharge the economy based on -

his private sector experience.

But you only have to look at their private sector experience to understand how different they are.

@realDonaldTrump made his money in NYC commercial real estate (arguably the most cutthroat industry in the world) and got his PR experience in-

branding and being a media personality for decades.

He "gets it" in terms of brand, selling and being in the public eye as a matter of business.

Bloomberg, on the other hand, made his money in financial news & tech.

Have you ever seen an ad for a Bloomberg terminal?

In Bloomberg's business, ads & marketing aren't all that important.

Investors really only care about good analysis & tech, unlike other companies that have to focus on glitzy ads & branding.

That's why his ads are terrible- he's used to just selling straight info, no chaser.

But at some point, Bloomberg, no matter how much money he spends, will have to talk in front of crowds.

His lack of personality may have been enough to get him NYC mayor, but it will be an enormous detriment when juxtaposed against Trump...

And then he has to deal with his past of horribly racist comments.

Hillary was able to deflect attention away from her racist & homophobic comments, mentors & friends, but Bloomberg won't.
