Bloomberg would never win the democrat primary. He was a republican until recently. His positions on taxes and healthcare don’t match well with the socialist agenda.
The filing deadline for the New Hampshire primary is November 15th. So Hillary and him have until next week to jump in.
Looks like it’s a state decision. I could be wrong.
Wat.
There are a lot of subcurrents regarding impeachment and this is just one of them...
Do Democrats follow their own rules?
I know this doesn’t answer your question. But as far as I’m concerned, the last date for a Democrat is July 13, 2020. That’s the opening day of the Democrat national convention.
So if there is a brokered convention, Hillary, Michelle, etc. have at least until then to announce their interest, and then jump into the race. And I’ll bet that’s Hillary’s plan anyway. She’s not quite done yet.
It won’t matter. Buttigieg will be the nominee. And he will lose to Trump. The rest will reload, or wait, for 2024.
Few weeks ago Hannity had a guy on TV and explained the process. I can’t recall exactly, however November and December come to mind for many states. Evidently there is tons of paperwork required for each state, and can vary from state to state. That’s what I know
eARLIER TODAY i HAD TO DIG AND RE-PHRASE MY REQUEST TO GET THE HILLORY PARODY ABOUT REMEMBERING AND HER HEAD FULL OF JELLO
fOR A WHILE, i THOUGHT IT HAD DISAPPEARED.
i'VE NOTICED THE TREND MORE IN THE LAST MONTH OR SO.
AWW SHIT Caps lock on .... I'm sorry
and too lazy to go back
As far as Skunk Cabbage is concerned, the last day for a Democrat presidential contender to enter the race is the last day of their convention next summer - the day she intends to announce.
For Hillary, it is whenever she wants to jump in. Up to (and maybe even after) the Democrat convention.
She will come in at the last minute to "save" the party. That way, she won't have to go through the grueling primary process.
Hillary never plays by the rules, and they let her.
You are correct-the information is not easy to find, and every state has their own rules and deadlines.
Deadlines for filing to get on a primary ballot are easy to find.
For the general election, the deadlines are found in this document, which applied to the 2016 election. 2020 should be similar.

It appears that all candidates (major party, third party, or independent) must petition each state to appear on the general election ballot. Since it’s possible to have a party nominate a candidate who didn’t appear in the primaries (brokered convention), those petitions are critical.
An interesting question, which doesn’t seem to have an answer, is what would happen if a candidate died or became incapacitated before the general election and after the deadline for the ballot petitions. That would probably have to be decided by the US Supreme Court.
I hope this helps!
If all of the pledged delegates do not push someone over the top at the convention, then they are free on subsequent convention votes. It will become a back room, brokered convention. I may be wrong but I think that is the way it works.
The Democrat convention is scheduled to be held from July 13–16, 2020, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
For a democrat I would imagine it’s whenever you feel like it.
Democrats can do whatever they want, whenever they want.
...concerned with Bloomberg. He has the track record and money to run a good candidacy.
__________________________________________
He has a face for radio and a voice for print.
Money isn’t the secret, although it helps. Steyer has plenty of money and Hillary had over 1B$/name recognition/inevitability and lost.
Bloomberg is a colossal pill. Outside of Manhattan, most people just know he owns a news service. No charisma. No connection to average Americans. What has he won besides a mayoral election in NYC?
He would garner the 20% who automatically vote D and many of those may pass on before the election.
It’s not one election. There are 50 state elections. Laws vary widely.
Here’s state by state deadlines for candidates to enter primaries:

But Hillary DOES NOT want to “run” in the primaries - she’s not healthy enough to campaign actively (hell - she’d be stumbling and tottering through the primaries if she tried).
Hillary wants to come into a divided DNC convention and be immediately crowned “err apparent” to her throne. To be given the nomination as a “winning outsider” who can be swept in by her enthusiastic media.
Laughable.
