| Bloomberg campaign leftover $$$ go to |
| 2020-03-21 |
| [PJ] Billionaire Democrat Mike Bloomberg ended his self-funded presidential campaign earlier this month after his stunning failure on Super Tuesday. Since he first entered the race, his virtually limitless fortune has been discussed at length in the media. Apparently, at the end of his campaign, he had $18 million left in funds, and has finally decided to do something with that haul. He’s giving it to the Democratic National Committee. The Associated Press reports that Bloomberg’s $18 million transfer to the Democratic Party is "largest single such transfer ever" and "amounts to more than the national party’s typical cash balance." "The transfer will help the DNC make up for some of the steep fundraising disadvantage when compared with its Republican counterpart, which routinely has raised tens of millions more than the Democratic organization throughout election cycles." Bloomberg’s campaign "will also transfer its offices in six pivotal states to the Democratic parties in those states, to help accelerate their hiring and organizing. Those states are Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin." |

| #9 In this environment, even Boynie would be (almost) less risky than this poor doddering old man. |

| #7 A steady hand ... sort of. Just the man to lead us out of our present calamity. They aren't seriously going to nominate him, are they? What is the over-under on the man committing a skew of brain farts when / if he goes head to head with Trump in debate? If he does, who in his right mind would vote to put an obviously brain-addled old man at the helm of a ship that's pitching in high seas now? Don't be surprised if the DNC pairs him with Hillary and talks about some kind of co-presidency. |

| #5 One set of fingers wrapped back against the palm, the other hand not. Any neurologists (not crazy dyke from Yale) want to weigh in? |
