Mike Bloomberg is considering making Hillary Clinton his running mate, a source close to his campaign has told Drudge Report.
Polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force to take on Trump in the race for the White House, the source said.
Former New York City Mayor and Democratic candidate Bloomberg is said to be considering even changing his official residence from New York to Colorado or Florida - where he also has homes - because the electoral college makes it difficult for US president and vice-president to reside in the same state.
Under the Twelfth Amendment to the US Constitution, which provides the procedure for electing the president and vice-president, it states that the two people could not both inhabit the same state as the elector.

Mike, be careful. Very very careful if you become president. With hillary, Queen of America, only one heartbeat away from the presidency, you had better post secret service guards at your bedroom door, and in the kitchen.
Maybe I’m just dreaming, but I think putting the Vile Kankles on the ticket would assure a Trump landslide. Kankles was and still is a horrible unlikable candidate with horrible policies. She’s been on a 3 plus year whining sore loser tour, and most people—even Rats—are SICK of her. She’s had her chances to run for POTUS, she’s a two-time LOSER.
If it’s true that Bloomberg wants Kankles as a running mate, that is proof that MiniMike has TERRIBLE judgement and is totally unfit to be POTUS.
He’ll step down before the first term is over.
His regularly scheduled suicide will be tragic.
“Arkancide. Doomberg is a dead man walking.”
He has no intention of being president for 4 years. He will resign in year one and Hillary will take over.
Don’t ignore the biggest problem for the DNC at the moment.... cash. Bloomberg solves that immediately and many reps and senators on the left are panicked about money at the moment as their traditional fund-raising has dried up. The big dem donors are going to pick Bloomberg.
I posted this on another thread -
This is a trial balloon to generate interest in Bloomberg.
Bloomberg will be the professional political consultant class candidate and his VP selection will be made by pros who will never consider HRC because of her negatives (and age). The selection will be made solely on polling.
Mark my words - the Bloomberg machine is going to do and float all kinds of stuff to generate interest in his candidacy for the next few months. Watch the coming shift in the media punditry class in the next month towards him - it is already starting.
There has been either a Bush or a Clinton on eight of the last ten national tickets. And Bush’s and Clintons tried like hell on the other two. This would make it nine out of eleven. ENOUGH ALREADY!!
If this combo does take place Trump will have a very tough election. He may very well lose. Suburban soccer moms and college educated folks are all against Trump.
Blacks did not show up in 2016 for her.
They think they will show up for her AND Bloomberg???
Bloomberg has no idea how to govern the only thing he has is ties to China to keep his account full of money.
Hillary is flat out stupid and greedy what a team.
In 2016, he said he’d run as an Independent if Hillary didn’t get the Dem nomination, so there’s definitely some cahoots and bidding between the two.
Yup.
I’m not buying the idea being pushed by many here that Bloomberg would make a deal with Hillary in which he would agree to step down at some point. That doesn’t fit his personality. Now, Hillary forcing him out or bumping him off if they win is another matter.
VP is one heartbeat, one bullet, or one death in office away from becoming president.
Think Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield, and Kennedy.
Think of unsuccessful attempts. Jackson, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, Truman, Ford, and Reagan.
Think of deaths in office. Taylor, Harding, and F. Roosevelt.
Hillarys' best chance at become president is as simple as being next in line.
WOULD she accept second place just for the chance of becoming president, who knows. She'd still make her place in history as being the first female vice president.
Bloomberg is 79 years old, and jumped in at the last minute.
Why would he wait until the last minute if he had planned to enter the race?
I think he did not want to run, but made a quid pro quo deal with Hillary and the DNC to be her place holder.
The other would be “what difference does it make?”
AF1 type planes, crews and a president Bloomberg are expendable to pickles.
I had no idea Bloomberg was suicidal.
He’s announcing his “stalking horse for Hillary” status.
He was never in it to win it. He’s in it to produce a brokered convention for Hillary.
Step down? He’ll die unexpectedly, and President Hillary will join the country in mourning for him. Only she’ll say: “He’s dead! HAHAHAHA! At this point what difference does it make?”
Only he won’t ever be nominated, and whoever is will lose in a landslide to Trump.
