Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, the former Mayor of New York City, has decided to completely skip the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary and instead focus his energy on Super Tuesday states, where 15 states cast their vote for the Democratic nominee, and April elections, where four more states make their decision. It really is a bold, unique strategy and one that has never been successful before.

The Bloomberg campaign deployed staffers to key Super Tuesday states, including Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia .

let's give him the welcome he deserves

In preparation for these elections, Bloomberg's team has hired more than 200 staffers to work in 21 states, McClatchy DC reported.

The hiring spree is the campaign's way of beefing up its ground game to go hand-in-hand with the $80 million dollar ad buy they recently made.

According to Dan Kanninen, a veteran Democratic campaign official who is advising Bloomberg, this strategy allows the team to talk to a number of voters in various states while other candidates focus on Iowa and New Hampshire.

I hope they talk to me

“We can have a large and concurrent conversation with the American people in 29 or 30 contests all at once while our opponents are stuck talking to a narrow portion of the electorate in the early states,” Kanninen told McClatchy. “It means we’re out of the sandbox. … While we’re late to the contest overall, we’re going to be early to the March states.”

Super Tuesday is set to take place on March 3, 2020 and includes: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Democrats Abroad, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.

They also sent staffers to Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi. Those states vote on March 10. Another election takes place on March 17 in Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio, where more staffers are being sent and Georgia, which votes March 24.

In preparation for April elections, the campaign has staff in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania.

“So many of the most critical states in the fall are in those March contest states,” Kanninen said. “Donald Trump is not governing — he’s campaigning in all these places and Democrats aren’t. When we get to these places there’s relief that there’s a Democrat there to take on Donald Trump.”

“After the early states, It’s one consecutive contest. Most campaigns drop in a couple weeks before frantically, without establishing authentic relationships,” Kanninen explained. “When you put a team on the ground for three months, talk to community leaders, clergy, business folks, you can advance your cause far more than just dropping in frantically.”

A number of Obama alumni are working on Bloomberg's campaign.

Their focus, however, isn't on "hope and change" but beating Republicans. It is something Democratic operative Michael Ceraso said Obama alumni understand.

“The current political environment isn’t looking for hope and change. No, voters are placing a premium on beating the other team above everything else. Former Obama operatives understand this,” Ceraso said."Oh, and it doesn’t hurt they can collect a huge check along the way.”

Because Bloomberg launched his campaign so late in the game, he has had to dump tons of money into the race. And it has not come without scrutiny. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have said Bloomberg and Tom Steyer, another billionaire, have done everything in their power to buy the election.

I hope he stays in for as long as possible and spends lots of money in the process. It will just be more help to the roaring economy that Trump built!

maybe we'll get these calls

https://www.breitbart.com/2020...labor-to-make-calls/

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign indirectly used prison labor to make telephone calls, according to a Tuesday report.

Bloomberg’s campaign used third-party vendor ProCom, a New Jersey call center company, to make the calls, according to The Intercept. ProCom reportedly operates two call centers from Oklahoma state jails, where prisoners were making calls on behalf of the billionaire’s campaign to California residents.

A source familiar with the matter revealed to The Intercept that incarcerated individuals at Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center were making the calls.

The Bloomberg campaign claimed it did not know prisons were being used to make the calls and said it had terminated the agreement.

“We didn’t know about this and we never would have allowed it if we had,” Bloomberg spokesperson Julie Wood told The Intercept. “We don’t believe in this practice and we’ve now ended our relationship with the subcontractor in question.”

Maybe with a lot of hard work and another billion dollars or so in spending, Bloomberg can rocket all the way up to 5% in the polls.

And keep his money there, too. Quit screwing with other states.

I saw one of his TV ads on a local Atlanta channel just yesterday. The guy is such a phony.

I think this is probably a good thing. It will force the others to spend all their time raising money from the rich people they hate and Bloomberg can still outspend them all combined with the stroke of a pen and his walking around money. And he'll still not come close to beating Trump.

I’m very concerned that he will be the “spoiler” the DNC wants. With the coming convention, there will likely be no clear cut, popular winner.

This’ll give the “Floor” the opportunity to nominate Hilda-beast for one last attempt.

I’m curious to see it play out.

He bought politicians in the state. The people......not so much.

I’m with the rest here. He must get a certain euphoria out of just running, and doesn’t mind blowing his own $$$.

Unless there is a cataclysmic upheaval in the democratic race, he doesn’t stand a chance. He maybe thinks, if Trump did it, I can too?

He’s a dud. The democrat base hardly puts up with Bernie & Old Joe, two other old guys.

He's running an ad or two in Oregon too. Why? The state is a shoe-in for Democrats of every ilk. Unless, the so-called independents in this state get amnesia and vote Republican.

Seen a few in Texas as well.

I'm halfway thinking of voting in the Dhim primary. A vote for Liawatha would really help Trump win.

His ads are all over the local channels in Arkansas. Also advertising like crazy on UToob.

Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.
