Bro this is the dude I get a million ads for wtf

[TheJediKenneth]

He was very interested in 2 debates that he performed bad in. it's sad, because he really had good plans for the USA and was a great mayor for NYC. He deserved better. He's better than the two we're left with.

UPDATE (July 8, 2020) Bloomberg was better than the one left standing for the Democrat Party.

[tayyeb]

Watching this after he got absolutely DESTROYED on the debates is hilarious. He talked a big game but couldn't handle the pressure

[SciFactsYT]

Random fact: Honey does not spoil. You could feasibly eat 3000 year old honey.

[lennardcovarrubias]

Keep on showing the ads with him playing golf and the six wheel golf cart keep it up Mike🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[WendelltheSongwriter]

This not debating could work out for him...and I don't care if a golden retriever wins the nomination, I'll vote for it..

[daveespo]

I would take Bloomberg over the fake tan fake president in OUR Whitehouse any day!!

[ghav]

When you listen to someone that speaks intelligently, it's a breath of fresh air. Listening to Trump for 3 years dumbs the listener down.

[carolesmith]

We like Mike...Go Mike; DUMP TRUMP; Mike is by far the most COMPETENT and reasonable candidate who can bring us back. His experience,
ability to delegate and his business acumen far outweigh any other candidate. He's superior to Trump in ALL areas, especially his INTELLECT (Trump has no intellect). Internationally and Nationally Mike will become a beloved and admired President. In addition, Mike has empathy and things will get better for us from the bottom up.

[RocketKirchner]

people underestimate Bloomberg at their own peril . He will do to the Dems party what Trump did to the GOP -- change it ! that is why Trump vs Bloomberg is the battle of the Titans .

[jblanche]

Love the guy...says it like it is and is much needed at this time ..Go Mr Bloomberg!!

[faaug]

Fallon really needs to stop this annoying open-mouth laughter when having politicians

[whateverthisis]

Can't afford healthcare he claims, meanwhile, an extremely bloated military budget just keeps growing. 700+billion a year.

[FreedomandBaconHomestead]

I look forward to hearing when he drops out of the race.

[Karen-jjxe]

Thank you - integrity is everything. It has just been absolutely lost lately. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[dromens]

If Bloomberg were running fairly, using actual support from people, and participating in the debate of ideas, rather than simply spending his billions to buy his way through the race, I could respect him. But he isn't. So I don't.

[cellophanity]

I hate the idea of a billionaire buying the election. I would rather be able to vote for any of the other Dem candidates against Trump.  HOWEVER, I would already vote for him against Trump for about 1400 reasons... all the lies Trump has told the American People, not ALL of us are dumb enough to believe all the BS.

[AfricanBan]

Finally the question that has been bothering me has been answered. Why is he not in the debate. Some candidates dropped out and couldn’t qualify for the debate coz of lack of money yet Bloomberg doesn’t qualify because he has too much money that he is self funded and used was even able to use his pocket change to air a commercial during super bowl

[rchatte]

Getting slaughtered in the debates despite his billions!

[bingbong]

Bloomberg has flooded millions into his campaign. He's bought 9% of the vote, yet instead of spending money on this joke of a run for the presidency, Bloomberg could actually use his money to help Americans.
