How is this different than Trump spending his own money in the last primary?
I thought about that question as well and here is the difference - Trump was in from the get go - Iowa, debates, etc - matter of fact he carried Iowa by the largest number since Reagan - he didn't come on late and then buy he way into the nomination, secondly, the establishment GOP was against Trump from day one, in this case, the leading candidate - Bernie Sanders is the guy the establishment is against and they *want* Bloomberg to either win the nomination or derail Bernie, even though Bernie has won (or tied) the first two primaries and by all accounts is the leading candidate to win the nomination at the moment. Trump and Bernie have more in common than Trump and Bloomberg - as far as running for president (not platform, just what happened to them while they ran)
So there really is quite a bit of difference between Trump and Bloomberg.
Not to mention Bloomberg is worth about 12X what Trump claims to be worth.
I heard that Bloomberg is planning on spending about $325M which far out paces the other candidates. Yet by comparison, that would be the same as if you had $500 and you spent $2.75. That's how little this is to Bloomberg and his ability to buy the nomination.
The only real hope the other democrats have is that he gets killed in the debates.
