Why would Bloomberg run?

There are several reasons, but the top 3 are:
1. Ego
2. Ego
3. Ego

I have 3 concerns about a Bloomberg bid.
1) Bloomberg will claim to be a “social liberal and fiscal conservative”. From what I can tell, Bloomberg isn’t conservative on any level. However, if he claims this he might be able to sway enough disenchanted Libertarians to hurt us in Colorado and other western states that lean GOP/libertarian.
2) If Hagel runs with him, this gives this ticket the appearance of an alternative to Republicans and probably hurts whoever the GOP candidate is.
3) If Rudy does happen to be the GOP nominee, Bloomberg would hurt him in New York.
