The two Democratic billionaires have spent a combined $200 million on campaign ads already. That doesn’t mean much to them, but the opportunity costs are staggering.
With an unprecedented advertising spending binge, billionaire presidential wannabees Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer have launched themselves all the way to….the middle tier of the Democratic primary field.
The two candidates have spent a combined $200 million on television ads—with Bloomberg accounting for about $120 million of that total since he jumped into the race less than a month ago. No other candidate in the field has spent more than $18 million on ads so far, Politico reports. Bloomberg spent more than that in the first week after entering the race in late November.
Despite the advertising blitz, Bloomberg and Steyer are almost certainly wasting their money chasing political power. While it is foolish to rule out any electoral outcome in a world where Donald Trump is president, voters have responded to both Democratic billionaires with a resounding meh, and there seems to be little reason to think that will change next year, no matter how much money the two candidates pour into the race. more here
Makes you wonder how much good could have been done with 200 million instead of feeding their bloated egos.
Also shows that intelligence isn’t necessary to obtain wealth. What a couple of idiots!
But a $1M Facebook ad spend in Wisconsin influenced the whole election.
Uh-huh.
Guys, please keep this up. There are two benefits: It takes money out of your pockets and it splits the dem vote.
Plastic surgery might help.
Has nothing to do with the fact that they’re Jackoffs
These guys don’t get Trump. Trump didn’t had to buy the election and pay for ads, he just screwed with the media and they did the rest.
The pantsuit mafia spent a whole bunch of illicit campaign contributions too – for all the good it did them.
Neither of these clowns could conger up an original idea to improve anything!
not related to this article but everyone here will appreciate this.
Nancy Pelosi’s assistant told her she had a fantastic dream last night. There was a humongous parade in Washington celebrating Pelosi.
Millions lined the parade route, cheering when Nancy went past. Bands were playing; children were throwing confetti into the air; there were balloons everywhere. It was the biggest celebration Washington had ever seen.
Nancy was very impressed and said, “That’s really great! By the way, how did I look in your dream? Was my hair okay?”
Her assistant said, “I couldn’t tell, the casket was closed.”
@Ornery1 nailed it!!
Trump baited the media and they swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
He’s so stupid and they are so intelligent, sophisticated and erudite.
Choke on it you arrogant b*stids!
This reminds me of the scene in the film Trading Places. They’re not going to win and they send their trader back out there to “Buy! Buy! Buy!!!” (the election.)
The $200 million Ad Blitzes were not failures!
They were very effective, demonstrating that both candidates are stupid doofusses.
Ads, Successful / Candidates, total Loosers
