As the hardiest survivors of the Democratic clown car fantasize about taking on President Trump, they've got this other problem, a rat of sorts eating into their seed corn while they were deranging about Trump. According to Politico:

Michael Bloomberg's big-spending, shock-and-awe TV ad campaign has made politicking more expensive for everyone from his 2020 rivals to Senate, House and state legislative candidates around the country. Eight weeks into his presidential campaign, Bloomberg has already spent more money on advertising — $248 million — than most candidates could spend in years. That amount has squeezed TV ad inventory in nearly every state, lowering supply and causing stations to raise ad prices at a time of high demand, as candidates around the country gear up for their primaries.

It's easy for an outsider to view Bloomberg's big-spending television ad campaign as just a rich man's ego trip, but for Democrats, this is no laughing matter. Bloomberg is driving the cost of ads up for them, leaving them with fewer resources with which to battle Trump, while at the same time not moving up himself up much in the polls. That should leave them debilitated, with tuned out voters and no money to address them when they want to.

But it's cynical, too, because instead of doing a combination of fundraising, retail politics, and ads, Bloomberg has decided that the only thing he has to do is saturate the airwaves with television ads for himself and voters will come running. It's a strange strategy, because not only has it not yielded results for him, but it's also annoyed the public, which is sick of his dishonestly argued nonstop ads.

Who's to blame for this? Democrats, who have let him into the party to come in and take over. His big money was an enticement to them, because he effectively told them that if they'll just indulge him, he'll bankroll them all in the end. The Examiner reports, emphasis mine:

The Bloomberg campaign is less a coalition than it is a virtual shadow party. He is strictly self-funding, declining to solicit or accept donations. He is not endorsed by major liberal groups that might influence his agenda. Just 10 Democratic politicians or influential party operatives have backed him, according FiveThirtyEight's endorsement tracker. Should Bloomberg's gambit fail, he is promising to keep the lights on at his campaign and put it to work for whoever wins the nomination. If the ex-mayor follows through, he could wield unusual influence over the party. The Democratic National Committee is stretched thin, underfunded and outmanned by the Republican National Committee and its robust field and data programs deployed continuously since 2014. Without Bloomberg's help, the Democratic nominee might have trouble competing with the Trump campaign.

So they're short of funds and saw Bloomberg's cash with big dollar signs in their eyes and decided to indulge him. Such a bright move, because now he's driving them out.

For us, that's a good thing, given that it shuts the barking Democrat mob up, and leaves President Trump looking that much more attractive.
