Bloomberg is registering at 3%, just behind Harris and ahead of Yang, despite having spent $0 campaigning and not even officially being in the primaries. He's presumably figuring out, based on his assessment of his odds in the primaries (as well as in the general), whether he should spend the billions necessary to mount a credible presidential run. He spent $250m bulldozing his Democratic opponents in the process of winning 3 mayoral terms in a city that tends to vote 2/3 Democratic, to the point even a Commie nobody like De Blasio got 72% during his first mayoral run.

Right. You really can’t judge until he makes it official and gets out in the public eye.

What surprises me is how many people thought he was a good mayor. Compared to de Blasio, maybe he was.

More interesting, I think, is how Deval Patrick (who HAS officially announced) will do. He and Obama are buddies, I’ve heard. Maybe Obama will give him a boost of some sort. Who knows?

Maybe around NY, and the New England states....he might pull some big votes. But in the south, zero. And I suspect out west beyond Texas...it’s a marginal number of states.

Maybe if he had youth (he turns 78 in Feb 2020). Maybe if he was black, it’d help. Maybe if Warren or Biden weren’t in the election already, it’d help. But even if you threw Biden up against Mayor Pete...half of Democratic voters would still side with Mayor Pete. Bloomberg should have run back in 2008.

Bloomberg was never a serious contender, too much history of doing what was necessary to keep NYC safe for the Left to stomach.

But note how flat everything is - perfect conditions for Skunk Cabbage to ‘rescue the party’ at the convention!

Did anybody see this guy looking so uncomfortable in a diner this week? I never saw him in the subway (taking the two stops every day before getting in his armored SUV) but if he looked as miserable as he did in that diner...

Did anyone really expect anything else?

He just apologized for “Stop and Frisk” while he was mayor in an attempt to increase his commie depth.
