The House that Mike Bought

Republican House challengers can now label every Democrat incumbent with “Bought by Mike Bloomberg.” So thanks, Mike!

In last night’s debate, Mike Bloomberg inadvertently said the quiet part out loud when he bragged that he bought the Democrat majority in the House.

Michael Bloomberg: I spent $100 million to help elect 21 Democrats to the House of Representatives.

It’s especially fascinating how the “I bought the House” brag evoked cheers from the audience.

Democrats are the ones who shriek endlessly about getting money out of politics.  They’re the ones who spent years claiming the Republicans in Congress are bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers.

And yet they cheer the House that Mike bought.

Fascinating. But not at all surprising.

Democrats want money out of politics only when money is going to Republicans.

When they get bought by billionaires, they cheer.

And the Democrats love Bloombucks.

Except, of course, when he spends his billions on himself. That they’re not so thrilled with. Not that they should worry — especially considering the money he’s wasting on stupid billboard, atrocious social media engagement, and so many ads that people are already getting sick of him. 

As far as the House that Mike bought, I’m thinking those purchased Democrats aren’t especially thrilled that he’s bragging about buying them.

Their Republican challengers could get a lot of mileage out of that.

“Bought by Mike Bloomberg” is going to be one heck of a powerful meme, don’t you think?

Between these so-called moderate Democrats falling in line on Impeachment and Mike Bloomberg bragging about buying them, I’m becoming more and more confident that Republicans can regain control of the House in November.

So thanks, Mike! You may have bought the Democrat House, but bragging about it just might help flip ownership back to the Republicans!
