Think this is a cry for attention, but you never know, mr gun control, who has plenty armed guards, might run.

I read somewhere that he only runs if Burney gets the D nomination. Bloomie is too tight with the Clintons to torpedo them.

As long as he spends his personal money and loses, that is fine with me. I wish this NY jack-ss would crawl back into whatever sewer he crawled out of.

Is this hatred for Trump or is it sensing weakness from the democRATS?

I don’t see how this Napoleon wannbe can get any traction unless Killery is indicted and Bernie has a stroke

Only 1? I wish he’d use it ALL up and leave the rest of us alone. Then his minions in the mommunist brigade might have to go back to real jobs rather than trying to disarm us. Uh, I mean fight for gun safety. Yeah, that’s it.

This exact story was floated in 2008 and 2012, that Bloomberg was considering running for President, and would spend a billion to sell the idea to Americans that electing a gun/soda/salt-grabbing control freak would be a good idea.

I'll believe it when I see it. The fact that this supposed decision is going to be in early March, after Super Tuesday, makes me believe he's the Democrats' fallback option, should their base nominate loon Bernie Sanders.

Hillary’s indictment change that?

I hope Bloomberg runs! We need Ralph Nader and the green party loons to run as well. They got George W. elected.

he wouldn’t be that foolish, he likes his lifestyle too much I’m sure.

It does make a wonderful mental image to think Bloomberg blowing his cash like that.

Consider this......

What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?
If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

Americans will reject someone who is openly trying to purchase the Presidency.

That is what people do not want.

Also, he is trying to keep Trump from winning New York in the general election

Hope New Yorkers choose Trump over someone who is now on record for saying he wants the Presidency so much, he is willing to attempt to buy the office with money.

That will not sit well with hard working Amercicans.

Bloomberg must be so upset that another New Yorker is so well loved by millions of Americans, from all backgrounds and from all states.
