So who does this hurt most? Bloomberg!
(C'mon. Do you really think Trump's blue-collar crowds are going to vote for some shriveled New York antediluvian gun-grabbing queen?)

In a three-way with Donald and Bernie, an independent Bloomberg run could be viable.

They voted for Bloomberg for mayor. ...Mayor.
Of New York City.
This is not indicative a national trend.

He won’t be beholden to the special interests. He’s rich so that means he obviously would be great for the economy.
To: hollyweed
Excellent points! He’s got my vote!

I wish that Bloomberg had run as a Democrat. Hillary would be polling at three percent like Yeb.
The fact that Sanders is polling above one percent proves how desperate that the Democrats are to vote for anyone other than Hillary.

Bloomingidiot should take over the democrap ticket. He’s as much a puppet of the oligarchs as Hillary and not quite as bad a commie as Bernie.

It might distract him from some of his gun-ban activity.

We could have three New Yorkers contending in the fall.

The charge didn't stick when it was made.
Note that Trump countered with Palin's endorsement.
Look at the poll numbers: that tells you whose publicity tactics are effective.
The problem is, the GOPe irrevocably destroyed both the reputation of the Republican brand, *and* the trust that "vote GOP and we'll stop Obama."
Boehner and McConnell (and now Ryan) didn't do a thing except lube up and then swallow for Obama.
So the frenzied "Oh, stop, stop, if you don't vote in the GOPe guy, the libs will WIN!" won't work: because Obama already pushed through Obamacare and is de facto allowing amnesty in violation of court orders, and is importing masses of terrorists Syrian refugees.
Allowing Obama to fundamentally transform America.
So the GOPe is complicit.
Trump might not be a conservative. But right now we are literally fighting for national survival.
And Trump loves America, and wants America pre-eminent in the world again.
Nice try, though.
