Small showing for Mike Bloomberg rally despite campaign’s big spending

Wa Ex: Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg claims he is ready to spend more than $1 billion in an effort to oust President Trump, but money may not be bringing supporters to his campaign.

Just 45 people showed up to Bloomberg’s latest rally with TV star Judge Judy Sheindlin in Texas on Saturday, according to the New York Post.

“Unlike everyone else in this race, I think what’s important is beating Donald Trump,” Bloomberg told the sparse crowd of fewer than 50 people in San Antonio.

Bloomberg, 77, has eschewed tradition by entering the race late, forgoing attempts to make the debate stage, spending big out of his personal account, and focusing on the later states in an attempt to gain the 2020 Democratic nomination.

He has bought a $10 million TV spot that will air at this year’s Super Bowl, and his campaign’s digital ad buys are set to outpace Trump 4-to-1.

During his 13-minute stump speech, Bloomberg highlighted efforts to increase teacher pay in New York and his plan to cut carbon emissions. He then attacked Trump, saying he would spend less time tweeting when he was president. read more

  1. As the Countess Luann (NYC) sang:

    “Money can’t buy you class”

    Bloomberg and Steyer are worthless robbers of OPM. At least President Trump has something to show for it.

    At the VERY least.

  2. This is not good people. Where do you think this money is going? That’s right, to all the big propaganda media outlets. It’s keeping the cesspool in business when it was on it’s last breath.

  3. “Unlike everyone else in this race, I think what’s important is beating Donald Trump,”

    What a genius statement. Apparently all his clown car peers are hoping to be president without beating Donald Trump.

    “The Dems very own Jebby Bush…….”

    …but Jebby Bush is the Dems Jebby Bush too, he’s totally THEIR Trojan horse, he was just too badly sculpted for us to pull him into the gates, is all…

    …although Barry Soetoro was probably a Trojan Horse too. At least to the extent of being WAY more likely to be filled with a legion of treacherous, sweaty Hopelites, that is…

  5. Whatever happened to the democrats supposed hatred for big money in politics? This guy is literally setting spending records, with virtually nobody donating to his campaign and none of the dems seem to care.

  6. Why is he wasting time in Texas?! And even if you accept his campaigns correction that he interacted with 700 people well big deal. You can probably bump into more Texans in a truck stop in New Mexico. Go to a Buc-ee’s here and you’ll see 700 people in 30 minutes. Ridiculous.
