Michael R. Bloomberg, who bypassed his own run for the presidency this election cycle, will endorse Hillary Clinton in a prime-time address at the Democratic convention and make the case for Mrs. Clinton as the best choice for moderate voters in 2016, an adviser to Mr. Bloomberg said.
The news is an unexpected move from Mr. Bloomberg, who has not been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000; was elected the mayor of New York City as a Republican; and later became an independent.
But it reflects Mr. Bloomberg’s increasing dismay about the rise of Donald J. Trump and a determination to see that the Republican nominee is defeated.
Mrs. Clinton is seeking to reach out to middle-of-the-road swing voters and even moderate Republicans uneasy about Mr. Trump. Polls show that significant numbers of Republicans remain wary of Mr. Trump, and question his fitness for the presidency.
Mr. Bloomberg will vouch for Mrs. Clinton “from the perspective of a business leader and an independent,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr. Bloomberg.

Otherwise you had Mark Green.
LOL, Blomberg was ALWAYS for Hillary.
Thick as thieves.
Just my thought.
ANOTHER TALKING POINT FOR US!!!
Actually, he didn’t. Bloomberg kept many of Rudy’s policies in place. He was a respectable Mayor.
RINO’s will be Democrats.
Yesssss! Thank you, Mayor Nannystate!!!
Could put NYC in play for Trump?
He’s no RINO. He’s a democrat. Could care less if he ran as a Republican in 2001. He’s a lifelong, gun-grabbing democrat.
>>He was a respectable Mayor.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’m sorry, but anyone who supports the globalist warming agenda is a sleazebag traitor to America.
Hillary Clinton is the best choice for ‘moderates’ who want the government to run every single aspect of their life, from the size of your soft drink to the type of oil you can cook with.
For anyone who would like to retain the smallest modicum of personal freedom from the all powerful state, I would recommend Mr. Trump.
“He has all the right enemies.”
You beat me to it.
Dismayed my a$$...he sees his gravy train pulling out of the station without him.
Well ... surprise
Bloom was never a republican in the first place. He only chose it to allow him to become mayor.
Shocking! /s
Bttt
Michael Bloomberg was always a Democrat except when that label was not sufficient to het him the mayorlty of NY, so he lightly pasted the Republican label over his Democrat medallion for a while.
Bloomberg is a gun grabbing liberal scumbag.
