Bloomberg is running TV ads in TX 13th
They've been running for over a month.
Texas' 13th congressional district is, literally the most republican in America.
This year is so very different here. Mac Thornberry usually slides to re-election, unapposed - he's retiring. There are like, 13 republicans (including former Trump doctor, Ronny Jackson!) plus 2 Democrats running for his seat. Campaign ads for one dude started running last year. And now Mike Bloomberg is buying West Texas airtime. Nobody buys ads here this early. When it comes to democrats, we're lucky if they buy ads or show up at all. Sad but true.
It's just weird. I don't know if it's good or bad but it's different.

Billionaire businessman, philanthropist and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg brought his late-developing presidential campaign to Chicago for the first time Wednesday morning to criticize President Donald Trump’s record on the economy and unveil a jobs plan of his own.
Bloomberg gave his speech on Chicago’s South Side to illustrate it as an area that had been “left behind” economically, but his remarks just as easily could have been delivered in Cleveland or Cincinnati.
He made virtually no reference to Chicago, the state’s March 17 primary or the significance of the venue his campaign chose, Olive-Harvey College.
He didn’t ask for a single vote or make an appeal for any campaign volunteers either
As in many of the March states, where the majority of the race’s delegates will be awarded, Bloomberg has spent fast and furiously in Illinois to hire experienced staff and to air a seemingly constant stream of ads. Still, in his nearly 30-minute speech, Bloomberg didn’t offer a single nod to the Illinois primary. He declined interview requests with local media outlets, and he took no questions from reporters while in the state for the first time.
like u said no judgement if bad or good but weird and different .
Olive Harvey is far from the usual national campaign trail kick off stops for Chicago
