Bloomberg Shows Extreme Seriousness In Ousting Trump
Bloomberg has shown his seriousness to enter the presidential race
already. The whopping investment into advertising time last week that broke
Obama’s record is evidence of this.
Michael Bloomberg, the media publication tycoon has now declared a
limitless budget for his democratic presidential bid. This isn’t looking like
good news for America but shows the race of a crowded candidature has become
further crowded and seems more like a desperate move by Bloomberg as everyone
is coming to the finishing line of the presidential race.
The kind of money spent by Bloomberg is being seen as obscenely big for
a presidential nominee a week before the general election. Running as a
centrist, Bloomberg is being seen as someone who could draw supporters from
candidates such as former Vice President Joe Biden, Minnesota Sen. Amy
Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind.
While the points that Bloomberg is standing for resonates with the
tone of the nation, his wealth and background could seem jarring in
comparison to candidates such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who have championed issues such as income
inequality and Wall Street regulation.
However, his late entry may
not be a bad deal after all. He has received a lot of appreciation in his
term as Mayor, immediately after the September 9/11 attacks.
A three-term mayor Mr.
Bloomberg left a broad legacy, including the start of mayoral
control over city schools, high-profile public-health initiatives and a sharp
reduction in crime. He also was known for support of a policing strategy
known as stop-and-frisk, in which police officers were given wide latitude to
stop people whom they suspected of criminal behavior.
Political analysts feel that the self funding confidence might not
win Bloomberg a chance into the December debate after all.
One way of raising funds is by staging the debate and it is
important for parties. The threshold
for participating in debates in January and beyond has yet to be set by the
Democratic National Committee.
