As American Samoa goes, so does the nation.

Oh wait, maybe I got that wrong.

I don't know what he spent in 2012, but I am sure it was very little. In 2016, he spent about $300 million total, including the primary and general election. He forced the media to give him free air time with his rallies.

I am not sure how Bloomberg ever amassed billions of dollars as a businessman. Given his deep involvement in China, I have to wonder exactly what he's done.

"But the night’s big story was Michael Bloomberg, who won American Samoa and four delegates there. The New York billionaire also claimed victories in King’s Landing, Winterfell, and the lost city of Atlantis. Coincidentally, every resident of American Samoa woke up Tuesday morning with new cars and second homes." Chadwick Moore

Mike Bloomberg Is Suspending His Campaign

Over half a billion dollars and all he had to show for it was American Samoa?

Mike Bloomberg to ‘Reassess’ Campaign After Super Tuesday Flop

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg (D) will “reassess” whether his campaign for the presidency should continue following a poor showing in Super Tuesday primaries.

NBC News reporter Josh Lederman said the Bloomberg campaign will take “another look tomorrow, once the data comes in” at whether the billionaire still has a path to the nomination.

“They will take a look to see whether there’s a reason to continue with this after tomorrow,” Lederman added.

Bloomberg, who has spent $500 million of his own money on his White House bid, has only won the American Samoa Democrat caucuses tonight, winning at least four delegates, according to projections.

In contrast, former Vice President Joe Biden has had a much better night, winning Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Arkansas, according to projections at the time of this writing. Thus far, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is projected to take his home state of Vermont and Colorado. Figures from delegate-rich Texas and California have yet to come in.

Despite Bloomberg’s dismal showing, his campaign manager Kevin Sheekey attempted to strike an upbeat tone.

“We launched our campaign exactly 100 days ago. In that incredibly short time, we’ve built a nationwide coalition focused on building a better future for America, and that starts with defeating Donald Trump in November,” Sheekey said in a statement. “As Mike has traversed the country, meeting with voters in more than 70 cities across 27 states, he’s engaged with voters about his record of taking on tough fights on the issues that matter most to Americans.

“From his unmatched record on gun safety and climate change, to his plans to lead America through a crisis, Mike Bloomberg has shown voters he knows how to get it done,” Sheekey added. “Tonight, only one-third of delegates will be allotted. As Mike said tonight, ‘No matter how many delegates we win tonight, we have done something no one else thought was possible. In just three months, we’ve gone from just 1% in the polls to being a contender for the Democratic nomination.”

‘”Our number one priority remains defeating Donald Trump in November,” he concluded.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Talk about denial. Wow.

He should move to American Samoa.
He's already paid enough to own it.

I knew he was getting taken for a ride money wise when I had to sit through a Bloomberg ad on YouTube prior to my gun review video. Somebody is just spending his money without thought or concern. Nobody watching a video on doing a trigger job on a CZ P07 is voting for bloomie. Ever.

Just continues to prove that EVERYTHING Obamie touches turns to fecal matter. I kinda wish he woulda stayed to the bitter end so that the Demotard Convention would be even MORE of a disaster than it's going to be with an anti-semitic Communist and a poster child for Alzheimer medical trials.*

between a half billion and a billion dollars, possibly more, the price of hubris. It was his money, he can waste it how ever he likes, but I can't not think of the good that could have been done with that cash. How many orphans could have been sent to community college, or trade school? How many meals delivered to seniors, or how much medical research? That sort of casual waste of wealth should be an insult to the class envy folks, but instead they will celebrate this guy.
