Traveling with Bloomberg

Jonathan Swan: “Mike Bloomberg’s campaign feels corporate. It’s calm, orderly and punctual. His audiences clap politely, and you can’t walk two steps without running into a paid staffer with talking points. Nobody whoops or yells. Nothing is left to chance. No expense is spared. The candidate is self-consciously low-key.”

“After being immersed in Donald Trump’s freewheeling White House and campaign for more than four years, I found the day I spent flying around with Bloomberg’s campaign last week in California to be a foreign experience.”

“The scale of Bloomberg’s staff buildup and national advertising spend is unprecedented in modern American politics. His operation is coming to resemble his own personal political party.”
