Why? It's his money.

Unlike Bernie I don't begrudge Bloomberg his billions or want to see a major chunk confiscated by taxation above and beyond what he's already obligated to pay.

But the political system is awash in money which is distorting our democracy in directions desired by the "oligarchs". Allowing one individual to pump as much as a billion $ behind one candidate (whether himself or not) in one race just seems absurd to me. Do you not see it that way too?

I have asked for years.....just who the hell does she point to & then acts like "I'm so glad you made it".
It's always a big put on......it's like she thinks she's so important in everyone's life. Behind the curtain, they say she's a terrible and a horrible person to be around..

Biden-mentum?: Former Vice President Raises $5 Million Overnight After South Carolina Win

Former Vice President Joe Biden is back on top after a big win in South Carolina on Saturday, cashing new checks from Democratic donors and hoping to harness the momentum going into Super Tuesday.

Biden is now the popular vote leader in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and, thanks to a decisive South Carolina victory that appears to have left Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) below the 15% threshold necessary to take any delegates from the contest, is trailing the Vermont socialist by just 6 delegates overall, according to NBC News.

Nolte: Joe Biden Lives to Brain-Freeze Another Day

The Democrat presidential race is now down to two pushing-80 white guys: Jurassic Marxist and Joe Biden, the guy who just spent two weeks lying about how he was arrested in South Africa.

What happened in South Carolina Saturday night — Biden’s smashing, come-from-behind, double-digit, runaway victory — is great news for him. As of now, it looks like Biden has won the race for The Bernie Sanders Alternative. The bad news is that the spotlight will be turned back on him, which means the avalanche of truly disturbing brain freezes he suffered last week are unlikely to be ignored should they happen again — and they will. Biden’s not getting any younger, you know.

Well, unfortunately for Slow Joe, time is short. When Barack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton in South Carolina during their 2008 death match, Obama had ten days to capitalize on that win going into Super Tuesday. Those ten days combined with an endorsement from Ted Kennedy made all the difference.

Biden only has three days to Super Tuesday, and some of those states are already voting, including delegate-rich California.

The good news for Biden, and this news should not be underestimated, is that he’s now The Guy, and by The Guy, I mean The Guy to emerge as The Alternative To Bernie.

But now, with his undeniable comeback, Burisma Biden is The Guy, and voters in the OMG Bernie Can’t Beat Trump Lane finally have one candidate to consolidate around, which tells you just how awful the other candidates are.

So, while we must always keep in mind that a lot of things can still happen (which is why early voting is stupid), it looks right now like the Democrat primary will turn into one of two worst case scenarios (WCS).

Bernie Sanders raised massive $46.5 million in February, campaign announces
https://www.cnn.com/profiles/annie-grayer
Washington (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Sunday that his campaign raised $46.5 million in the month of February, shattering his previous record for the most raised in one month.

The $46.5 million haul from February, which is a substantial addition to the Vermont senator's already formidable war chest, almost doubles the $25 million the campaign raised in the month of January. The announcement comes at a time when the campaign is looking to Super Tuesday and beyond, following a loss to former Vice President Joe Biden in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary.

Biden told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that his campaign raised upwards of $17 million for the month of February. A Biden campaign official confirmed Sunday that the former vice president raised $5 million online within 24 hours, the biggest online fundraising day to date for the campaign.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's campaign announced it raised $29 million in February. Campaign manager Roger Lau declared Sunday that the Warren campaign is ready to "compete in every state and territory and ultimately prevail at the national convention in Milwaukee."


The Sanders campaign's massive February fundraising total came from more than 2.2 million donations, including contributions from more than 350,000 people who donated to the Sanders campaign for the first time. The last day of February proved to be the best fundraising day since the launch of the campaign, raising $4.5 million in one day, according to the campaign.

Sanders has now surpassed the total number of individual contributions received by his 2016 campaign, topping 8.7 million donations since February 2019. At this point, more than 1.9 million people have donated to the campaign and more than 99.9% of donors have not maxed out and can donate to the campaign again.
