The ego of these effing tyrants knows no bounds.

They will push the people too far, and then the people will push back.

This expresses the Democrat panic taking hold. Hillary is toast. Bernie is for white leftists, nobody else.

That’ll bring out the Second Amenders to vote against this POS

Now we see why he’s such an anti-gun SOB who wanted to keep his name out there

Another corrupt, self serving politician

No thanks

>> and then the people will push back.

If they push TOO hard, the people may be forced to push back at a few thousand feet per second.

Trump wins New York if Bloomy runs. Its simple he splits the liberal vote in NYC and Hillary wins their vote upstate.

Go Trump Go

Run, Bloomie, Run!!

“When pitted in a three-way race with former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump gets 37 percent of voters, Democrat leader Hillary Clinton gets 36 percent and Bloomberg, an independent, gets 13 percent.”

” ... a third-party run for the presidency ..... “


Please. This would only hurt Hillary. The clown wouldn’t get many votes but he could possibly pull a few away from Hillary. I seriously doubt the clown runs. He’s just trying to bring attention to himself.

Hey, if the guy wants to reduce his personal wealth on a failed run...how bout it. I say...go fur it.

He won't do well anywhere but NY. Likely wouldn't beat out Trump or the dem.
