Guy Benson explains why Bernie Sanders’ slam on Michael Bloomberg’s $30 million ad buy is ‘very on brand’ (just guess)

Bernie Sanders doesn’t like it one bit:

I’m disgusted by the idea that Michael Bloomberg or any billionaire thinks they can circumvent the political process and spend tens of millions of dollars to buy elections.

If you can’t build grassroots support for your candidacy, you have no business running for president. https://t.co/jyIBVXUToj

Apparently it isn’t the amount that’s the problem for Sanders, but rather the method:

Bernie: Spending $30 million on ad buys is obscene.

Guy Benson sees trademark Sanders in his criticism of Bloomberg’s $30 million in spending while his own campaign is dropping the same amount on media buys:

But that’s fine because it’s other people’s money. Very on brand. https://t.co/qTnt6QhPuo

And spare me the "this is Bloomberg's own money" argument. $30 million on ads is $30 million on ads.

Suffice to say, Bernie supporters didn’t like any comparisons whatsoever between Bloomberg’s $30 million ad buy and the Sanders campaign’s $30 million ad buy.
