      The precedent is billionaire Ross Perot's 1992 campaign.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1228699150331498497 …

      It can't be underscored enough: the way Bloomberg is trying to buy his way to the presidency has no real precedence in American politics. Even the Kennedy machine of the 1950s/1960s didn't work on this scale. https://twitter.com/sunraysunray/status/1228698293603049476 …

      Partially -- but Perot created his own party while Bloomberg is buying one.

          I am not yet convinced that bloomy won’t pivot to a third party run when he gets mixed results in the dem race.

          But isn't Sanders stealing a party with < 30% support and much of that from outside the party?

          He's taking over the party with actual votes, not spending hundreds of millions to buy endorsements and lock out everyone else's ads.

          At least he's investing in it instead of extorting control over it by stoking internecine warfare and intraparty "us vs. them" partisan rancor and the threat of third party defections.pic.twitter.com/mLhcuHFISh

          Why not discuss how unprecedented Bernie's efforts to sabotage the 2016 nominee were? He deliberately gave us Trump and handed the Supreme Court to conservatives for decades to come because he knew that's the only way he could have another bite at the apple.
