He may be able to out-spend, but can he out-motivate?
Political races aren't won by dollars alone. Even if a billionaire were willing to bankrupt himself to support something like repeal of the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage), he'd still lose because it wouldn't sway enough voters.
Bloomberg is going to need more than bare dollars if he's going to get his agenda past voters. Just not going to happen- sure, he'll score limited victories in states where the RKBA hasn't had a win in a long time, but he hardly needs to spend money there. In the places that are against his message he can't buy enough commercials to get people willing to give up their rights.
