Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that he will not running for president in 2016.

In a post on Bloomberg View on Monday, Bloomberg ended months of speculation that he would mount a third-party bid, saying his candidacy could inadvertently help elect Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz, both of whom he said were unpalatable options.

Sure he saw what the attacks on Trump are like and probably has some problems he would like not to surface.

Polls showed Trump beating Hillary in NY State in a 3-way race.

Bloomberg discovered he couldn’t run without taking NYC Dem votes from Hillary .... he splits the liberals in many places.

I think he came to the realization that running for president isn’t so easy, even if you do have billions in the bank. There is no way he would have resonated like Trump.

Bloomberg and Romney: If nominated by my party, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. /s

I bet Bloomberg is going to throw all his support behind Romney. I despise the Uniparty.

LOL! Jimmy Carter was just certain that John Anderson would take moderate GOP votes away from Reagan in 1980. By the time Labor Day rolled around, he changed his tune. He refused to attend the first debate with Anderson and Reagan.

Reagan, ever the gentleman, debated Anderson and Carter was represented by an empty chair. Then Carter got his @$$ handed to him in the next two debates with just Reagan. Carter managed a grand total of 49 electoral votes, exactly 3 more than George Wallace won in 1968, and 3 less than Barry Goldwater won in 1964.

I always said he wouldn’t. Too bad, it would have opened the door for a right-of-center candidate.

"Yes. Hello? Hi Loretta. Yes I can hear you fine now. What's that? Not going to indicte Hillary at all? What are all the FBI agents doing then? Oh. Oh I see. All a sham, huh? I see. OK. Hmmmm.....Well, that changes things. I guess I won't run after all, and I'll get back to what my purpose on this earth is for. Thanks for the call. Bye bye."

These things fire those nasty millimeters.....and stuff.

GOOD.
Now if he’d try breathing water, preferably from the east river, the world would improve.
