The system is set up this way now. Money buys advertising. I don’t hold it against Bloomberg. It would be great if the system was different.
In the end what’s the difference if a candidate uses his own money or someone else’s? It’s still buying advertising and research.
Eventually, Bloomberg will have to start connecting in person with voters. Remember Hillary was criticized for not spending enough time in some key states. Some people feel that’s why she lost. If that’s true, money can’t completely buy the presidency.
I’m not sure where Bloomberg is, if he has been giving speeches in various states. He is all over my Facebook (I have Facebook friends who like his page, etc.) and I recently shared a Bloomberg post about veteran benefits, so I guess the Facebook algorithm is sending his stuff to my news feed.
Lots of commercials in Florida for him.
I think Bloomberg has a real possibility to beat Trump in Florida. I doubt any of the other candidates could. I don’t know how Bloomberg would fair in other swing states.
