'Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spent a lot of money on this campaign so far,' CNN's Lauren Dezenski writes. 'But that didn't get him very far on Wednesday night's debate stage.' | Analysis
That debate was the major debut of Bloomberg's presidential campaign -- and he came off a bit rusty. His debate performance has been widely panned. Bloomberg has spent the most money of anyone on that stage, and he spoke the least, coming in at 13 minutes and 6 seconds, just behind Joe Biden.Let's do a little math on how much Bloomberg's campaign spent to appear onstage:$464 million ÷ 13 minutes and 6 seconds of speaking time= $590,330.78 per second.
