Michael R. Bloomberg, who bypassed his own run for the presidency this election cycle, will endorse Hillary Clinton in a prime-time address at the Democratic convention and make the case for Mrs. Clinton as the best choice for moderate voters in 2016, an adviser to Mr. Bloomberg said.
The news is an unexpected move from Mr. Bloomberg, who has not been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000; was elected the mayor of New York City as a Republican; and later became an independent.
But it reflects Mr. Bloomberg’s increasing dismay about the rise of Donald J. Trump and a determination to see that the Republican nominee is defeated.
Mrs. Clinton is seeking to reach out to middle-of-the-road swing voters and even moderate Republicans uneasy about Mr. Trump. Polls show that significant numbers of Republicans remain wary of Mr. Trump, and question his fitness for the presidency.
Mr. Bloomberg will vouch for Mrs. Clinton “from the perspective of a business leader and an independent,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr. Bloomberg.

He has all the right enemies.
Mayor Bansodas is upset. He needs a safe zone.
Stealth ‘RAT from the start.
“unexpected”
Good Grief. Bloomberg is about as much of a Republican as my cat.
“Trump rejected the view that, in the global economy, nations benefit by importing goods. He said globalization benefits “the financial elite ... (but leaves) millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache.” He also vowed to fight “a leadership class that worships globalism.””
“Americanism, not globalism is our credo!” ~ D. Trump
Yep. One nanny-state jerk supporting another nanny-state jerk.
He never stopped being a Democrat inside.
Gun Grabbers stick together.
I guess Donald doesn’t endorse his soda pop grab campaign.
Sure she’s corrupt, careless, incompetent, vile and for sale to whomever waves a wad of cash in her face. Why wouldn’t you want to endorse her?
Attaboy, Mikey
Like clockwork, you’ll vote the Traitorous Route over the Patriotic One
Guess he likes criminals.
Queers stick together.
He was an even phonier “Republican” than most RINOs. It was just a procedural thing to get around the NY mayoral primaries. This guy is nothing but a Democrat in RINO hide.
... officially.
Trump has almost single-handedly forced America’s political elite to self-identify as members of either the Globalist Party or the Nationalist Party. “Republican” and “Democrat” have been revealed as archaic and irrelevant labels.
Mayor Bloombito es muy upsetto. Su knickers es in un knotto.
Fine. Bloomberg endorse of HRC = 1-2 point bump for Trump. Everybody cannot stand the guy. If Hitlary were sane she would refuse it.
Bloomberg is far left of the most left leaning RINOs, good that he is coming as so.
