I can't claim to know enough to pass a judgment - but a lot of New Yorkers swear by this man.

I have to learn a lot more.

Third Party though - I wish he would consider one of the parties.

This would hurt Hillary more than any republican (except maybe Rudy)

He’ll hurt the Democrats if he does this. Think Perot and Buchanan in reverse from 1992. The only reason he’s a ‘republican’ is because the NY GOP is a bunch of losers, and the Democrats wouldn’t let him be their nominee.

A dyed-in-the-wool limousine liberal, Bloomberg makes Rudy look like a John Bircher.

The only thing he endangers is NY (which we won’t win anyway, unless Rudy wins the Republican primary, which he won’t) and Hillary support elsewhere.

Just say NO to New Yorkers! Enough of all of them! New York already controls far to much of the USA with it’s Federal Reserve Bank, investment banking houses like Goldman Sachs, the leading stock exchanges, activist Attorney General, major media nexus and the rest.

Just say NO! to more New Yorkers running the rest of us like a colony. NO RUDY! NO HILLARY! NO BLOOMBERG! NO SHARPTON! NO NEW YORKERS FOR PRESIDENT!

Let's see... rich guy launches third-party Presidential bid that he has no intention of winning in order to divert conservative votes from the GOP candidate and deliver the election to a Democrat named Clinton.

Why does this sound so familiar?

The good news is, an East Coast aristocrat-wannabe like Bloomie will probably divert more Democrats than Republicans.

I wonder.....does Bloomers receive any Republican money from a larger fund (RNC)?

Well,if Bloomberg won’t run as a Democrat, a third party would suffice.

He’s a huge liberal. I think he would split the Dem’s and take very few Republican votes with him. He’d only take Republican votes in very blue states.

So I hope he runs.

Bloomberg is a business and administrative genius. I've been a customer of his for decades, live near him in Manhattan, and as a lifelong (uh, native) New Yorker, feel comfortable saying he's built beautifully on what Rudy did to turn the city around.

That said, he is indeed a LimoLib, and is very very socially left-of-center. His work to restrict gun rights is downright heinous.

I cannot imagine him attracting any "conservative" votes.

Mayor Bloomberg is a Democrat.

He changed parties to run for mayor in New York when he couldn’t et nominated as a Democrat. He’s a liberal on most issues like the Second Amendment. Probably a Rudy Giuliani Clone.

Hope he runs as a third party candidate and steals Democrat votes.

I can’t stand the guy.

Don’t think this wouldn’t hurt the GOP. He might make even RINOs look good, but the MSM will label him a Maverick republican who stands up against the special interest. That and his own money will buy a lot of votes.

Here's everything you need to know about Bloombust. He might spend $1 billion of his own money, but outside of New York, it won't do him a bit of good, especially down South and out West, where most folks find him obnoxious and simply grating.

Given the tone of this thread - Bloomberg hurts Hillary.

I wonder how long before the Clinton camp goes after him?

and.... what will be his reaction to those attacks?

Now either this gadfly Ross Perot wannabe is in, or he isn’t.

Chances of cracking the Democratican “code of silence” are somewhere between zip and none, and his chances are about equally as good breaking into the Republican column, despite his nominal party affiliation.

That pretty much leaves third-party, a track that Ross Perot took in 1992 and 1996, thus assuring the election of a plurality candidate.

But are we going to see a choice of New York, New York and (faux) New York?

America is better than that.

You can’t be serious. You act as though you didn’t know that Mike Bloomberg was another Rudy Giuliani. Mike and Rudy are both liberals who came out of the political sewers that are NYC liberal politics. Both men are lowlife skunks.

You’ll try anything to get liberals promoted around this forum. ANYTHING! LOL
