It’s about turning the “Purple States” blue and getting Hillary elected by splitting the “Anyone But Hillary Vote”.

If the anti-Hillary vote is split by Bloomberg/Hagel, Hillary wins and America loses.

I disagree that this helps Hillary.

First of all, forget the part about Bloomberg doing this in order to "turn purple states blue". He's not doing anything for anybody but himself.

Second, picture this voter in your mind:

"I really don't like Hillary, but there's no way I'm EVER going to vote Republican, so it looks like I have to vote for Hillary."

But with Bloomberg in the race --->>>> "I really don't like don't like Hillary, but there's no way I'm EVER going to vote Republican... maybe I'll vote Bloomberg!"

I think there are a LOT of voters who will fit that mold.

Not necessarily - It may mean that the dems do not take NY state, as the vote there would be split in a Rudy, clinton and bloomberg race. w/o NY, ahrd to see the dems winning.
