Go for it. I always love watching liberals blow their wad.

He could be a real threat to President Trump, where Warren and the others never could be.

No doubt he is a threat. Probably more so than any of the current candidates. I'm hoping the base is so married to their Bernie, Warren, Buttigieg, or whoever, that they reject Bloomberg riding in on his white horse.

I also figure he will seriously damage the fundraising of his opponents by taking in the donations of wealthy Jews. According to some sources, US Jews account for a huge portion of Dem fundraising. While Bloomberg might not really need the money, his opponents do.

US JEWS CONTRIBUTE HALF OF ALL DONATIONS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Maybe Bloomberg and Jeff Bezos and Tom Steyer, can spend all of their fortunes to try to beat Trump.

They’ll discover that not even $100 billion was not enough to remove Trump from the presidency. Which is why Schiff and Pelosi and Nadler have been trying their plan-B, impeachment.

They know there’s not enough money nor any candidate that can unseat Trump, so, they’re left with plan-B, which will fall very short of removing the president. Only if Trump cannot, for health reasons, complete the remaining FIVE years of his presidency, will the democrats see Trump leave before his 2 terms are up.

Let’s get this straight. Bloomberg was a Democrat prior to being mayor. He ran on the Republican ticket because there was room on the ballot. He then switched to being an Independent. Now he’s back to being a dem.

Deadline for filing in Alabama is today and Arkansas is Tuesday 11/12.

Guest-host for Rush Mark Steyn claimed that Bloomy filed the AL paperwork.

[M Kehoe]

Soros will help.

And platform shoes.

Mike has about $900. Million Dollars just burning a hole in his pocket. Go for it Mike. The local economy could use the cash infusion.

[DannyTN]

Then let me be the first...

If he wins...

Let's Impeach Bloomberg!!!

[bigbob]

If my local liberals are typical, the progs are gonna hate this. The last thing they want is “moderate”, they think that’s what opened the door for Trump. I doubt that if Mao or Stalin were brought back to life they would be far left enough...

Bloomberg succeeded a very popular Rudy Giuliani in 2001 — in an election that was held just two months after 9/11.

And NYC might be overwhelmingly Democratic, but the Democrats habitually run a lot of goofy nitwits and losers in their mayoral elections. Just take a look at the mayor they have now as a perfect case in point.

[matt04]

He may file, but I’m mot 100% sure he will actually run. I suspect he is trying to thin the heard before he actually runs.

[bigbob]

$50 billion diviced by 329 million people only comes to $152 per person...that ain’t gonna do it, Mike. Some of your pals were promising a grand a month, you better up the ante!

[Right Wing Assault]

What, "Little", are you planning to assassinate PDJT?

[cgbg]

My main objection to his spend-thrift campaign is he will enrich the mass media and the big tech Goliaths.

So we lose even when he loses.

[Ann Archy]

A VERY short New York Jewish Billionaire with NO personality that wants to tell you how much SALT and SUGAR you can eat!! Not even the BRAIN DEAD DEMOCRATS will fall for this!!

He's a Placeholder for HILLIARY!

Per capita is a good way to look at it. He spent ~$75m winning his first election in a city of 8m people. That’s about $10 per capita. Multiply that by 329m people, and the number is $3.29b. He’ll have better odds in the general, though. NYC had this habit of voting overwhelmingly for Democrats, and he ran as a Republican for mayor. Whereas at the Presidential level, the popular vote has been roughly 50-50 for the past 20 years.

[Dagnabitt]

Bloomberg is gay? Is there a source for that?

Wikipedia says he has kids, is divorced and lives with a former banking official named Diane Taylor.

[Kickass Conservative]

Judge Judy likes him.

[Alberta's Child]

There have been well-founded rumors floating around about that guy for years.

[hal ogen]

I hope the very wealthy nitwit spends all of his money...and loses.
