Is it just me or am I seeing more of these Bloomberg ads on my recommendation feed?

[scooters]

There's one thing about Bloomberg, he wouldn't assault our senses every day of the week.

[Esme]

Best of all the candidates, he has my vote

[LouisVictor]

Well it’s good to see that the billionaires have class solidarity 😂

At 88 Warren Buffett is 11 years older than Michael Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders. The Koch brothers are also old guys: Charles is 83, David is 79.
It's plain to see that you can still have enormous influence, even when you are well past middle age.

Billionaires are part of the problem. When a few have so much... many have very little

[leonnalee]

You is not who we need, we need poor ppl to endorse Bloomberg! Getting billionaire backings doesn’t look good for bloomberg. They are already attacking him for being rich candidate, Bloomberg needs to heavily rely on his humbler past before the money

A NYC Jewish billionaire VS a Brooklyn Jewish socialist. Everyone has his/her favorite type of candidate this time.

This guy is an investor. Why is his opinion an interview. Ask him about health care, civil rights, education, equal rights... His response will probably be along the lines of, what does that have to do with stock.

[commercialcommunication]

LMAO! Surprise, surprise! The billionaire, supports the billionaire! I never would have seen that coming! LMAO!!!

[longphan]

When the boss would support someone, his followers would do the same.

[IamTonyStark]

What a surprise a billionaire supporting a billionaire for president

[jamesl]

Billionaires stick together to protect their shared interests

[apachewolf]

I'll put it this way, I would vote for anyone else besides Bloomberg. He makes Hillary Clinton look like a conservative.

[cameronizatt]

I would not support Bloomberg as a toilet attendant
