The largest avalanche, purchase of political ads in history?

Between the Biden campaign, the DNC, Lincoln project, Bloomberg, democratic organizations, we could see billions of dollars spent.

I am not a fan of Bloomberg? However, when it comes to removing Trump, he is our friend because he hates Trump as much as we do. He could spend a billion dollars himself.

But until the debate, he was seen as a game-changing candidate because the ads were so so so good.

If the same ad firm does his anti-Trump ads, they will be devastating to Trump.

Anybody seeing them on TV in your area?

But, this time it is different. Everyone knows who the candidates will be. A convention, real or virtual, is just a formality.

AND we Americans have serious short term memory loss. We can't remember what happened on last week's The Bachelor, much less who won The Voice...
