Hillary’s a talentless hack. Bloomberg built a $50b personal fortune from scratch and won 3 NYC mayoral elections as a Republican despite an electorate that tended to vote overwhelmingly for the Democrat. Even a moron like DeBlasio won 72% in his first outing, thanks to the Democratic machine.

Knock yer self out Bloomie!

[Luke21]

Especially not the NYPD.

[babble-on]

He’s buying a put option on Biden.

[Alberta's Child]

I hope he runs — and wins the nomination. A whining, authoritarian, homosexual Jewish dwarf from New York City will be lucky to win a single electoral vote between the Delaware River and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

[rktman]

Less for gun control initiatives?😆

[He’ll bury the other dems and then go nowhere.]

I think his big hurdle is the nomination. If he wins that, he has a strong chance of beating Trump. Moderates and Independents will flock to him. And winning the Dem nomination means he has a lock on the Democrat vote.

For Bloomberg, winning the GOP nomination during his mayoral runs was the easy part. The hard part was running in the general. Here, I think campaigning in the general will be the easy part. The hard part? Winning the Democratic nomination. There’s a reason he did not run as a Democrat in NYC’s mayoral races. There’s no way he could have gotten that nomination.

[nuconvert]

Is it official that he’s announced his intentions?

[ETCM]

On the issues, he’s way, way left on all the issues they support. Abortion, gun control, immigration, climate change, taxes, environment, gay agenda, etc.

He’s a more civilized, better dressed Bernie Sanders with $52 Billion. Can he convince the left to vote for an old white billionaire? He’s smart and articulate, but not really inspiring. Can he fire up the base, who’s first instinct is to hate rich white men?

[Salman]

It’s how he won Mayor of NYC, as a Republican.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

All Trump has to do is bring forward all the small business owners this piece of sh— fined out of business with his brownshirts. Newstands, hotdog vendors fined $1000 for things like not producing their license fast enough or the newstand fined $25,000 for each 2 inch cigarette lighter that was shaped like a gun. Yes he did that.

[The Pack Knight]

I like it. Every dollar wasted on his futile presidential campaign is one less dollar available for gun control.

[NativeSon]

Rules don’t apply to the left.

[LouieFisk]

The bozo’s gonna spend billions to try to get Americans to ban large soft drinks? Good luck with that.

[AlaskaErik]

His position on the Second Amendment is absolutely disgusting and perverted. I’d almost vote for Mitt Romney first.

[xp38]

Wait. We don’t get a first lady with Bloomie? At least we got a beard with 0.

[Reno89519]

He’ll bury the other dems and then go nowhere.

that is perfectly fine with me.

[DannyTN]

We’ll see. I bet Alabama and Arkansas democrats won’t take kindly to some NY yankee come lately trying to bend the rules no matter how rich he is.

[HotHunt]

".... nowhere near close to anywhere Liberal enough to suit them...."

Well, he wants take our guns away and 32 oz. sugary drinks.

There's that.

[Bringbackthedraft]

LOL, are we going the Roman way, the end of the empire? Who wants to be the next Caesar, its up for sale to the highest bidder. He can buy a car for anyone who wants to vote for him. There will be huge lines on election Day if he does. No Dem. can pass up free stuff!
