How is this any different than other candidates spending money, wherever the source of that money comes from? Is it better if the money came from lobbyists?

I'm all for campaign finance laws, but I don't think what Bloomberg is different to what most of the other candidates are doing if they are accepting large donations from corporations and lobbyists.

And Rs are just as bad about this.[/quote]

NP and I agree (with 2nd PP).

The main difference between Bloomberg and the others is the source of the money.  Buttigieg had his expensive fundraisers in the "wine cave".  Warren held expensive fundraisers in her Senate reelection campaign, then transferred millions of dollars to her presidential campaign and then tried to claim that she was so much better than Buttigieg because she did not use high dollar fundraisers this time, even though close to half of her starting campaign finance oney came from such big dollar fund raisers.  The top 5 leading candidates all earned more than $15M in donations in the 4th quarter alone and average over $20M collectively for 3 months.  The top 5 have all raised over $50M since the start of their collective campaigns.  And they are all spending that to "buy" the election.

The only difference between them and Bloomberg is that he is self-funded.  Pretty novel that he will pay for it himself instead of trying to pay for his election campaign on the wallets of his donors. [/quote]
