Most of the TV talking heads seem to think Bloomie would pull votes from Trump and that is why he wants to run.

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.

I agree completely. Let him run. He can only help the right and hurt the left plus he could never win. Outside of NYC he is considered lower than sea snail slime.

[Thud]

Bloomberg should run for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, Wendel Wilkie style. He’d be a better Democratic nominee than anyone else and, while he wouldn’t win in November, would help their down-ballot races a lot as well as doing a good job of rebuilding the Party afterwards.

There was talk about a Bloomberg independent run last time and I thought he might really do it this time. But look at this:

Mike and the Clintons are partners in their non-profit activities. They are basically at the same point on the political spectrum, so why would he run?

He’s a life-long Democrat, who changed parties to run in the 2001 Mayoral election. That’s the only way he could win by running on Giuliani’s coattails. Then while Mayor, he changed his party to Independent. The guys a nitwit.

God knows what’s going to happen if he enters the race!
He'll lose. America, especially NYC, is tired of these petty despots ... and I wouldn't be surprised if Trump took enough of the NYC vote to carry the state.

The NYC crowd like to sport the reputation of being hardasses, badasses, independent thinkers.

They comprise the most pathetic and largest PC herd of sheep in this entire country.

When they are told to jump, they don’t ask how high, they drop their pants and bend over and grab their ankles.

Freepers excluded, of course.
