Would a Mike Bloomberg presidential candidacy be the Dems' worst nightmare? Yes, according to Bill Schneider. The CNN Senior Political Analyst described the NYC Mayor in terms that should make Hillary Clinton's blood run cold: "a Ralph Nader, with money."
Schneider offered his analysis at 4:40 PM ET today on the Situation Room.

Schneider says Bloomberg candidacy would hurt Dems. Ping to Today show list.
Until this retro bate with money says yes I will continue to ignore him.
Shocking coming from the Clinton News Network.
The conventional wisdom is the ex RINO would attract current RINOs or “independent” RINOs and hurt the GOP.
my dream third party candidate is ALGORE running on the Green Ticket... That would fracture the Dems bigtime and hand the election to the R candidate on a silver platter.
Bloomberg wouldn’t be a candidate, he would be an attention whore.
Bill Schneider has been a disinformation specialist for as long as I can remember on CNN. He’s insufferable to listen to.
I’m sure he’d love nothing more than to see Bloomberg run, splitting the already splintered field in the RP Primaries even more.
His spin on polls and events is second only to the Clintons.
Only those from the Social States of the N.E. would vote for this leftist, and any others who are that far left aren’t going to vote for any republican.
I would also support a McCain/Romney run because McCain is strong on defense and Romney is a captain of industry. BUT all of them would need to know in no uncertain terms that the illegal alien problem needs to be dealt with --> pronto --> deportation... and a security fence.
I think this analysis is wrong. He will hurt the Repubs more. He currently has an “R” in front of his name, and more importantly, the Republicans are 2-term incumbents in the White House, so the Dems are much more motivated to unify than either the Dems in 2000 or the Repubs this year.
LOL! not quite on the right forum...
Bloomberg would not hurt the Republicans in the least.
Nobody right of lenin is voting for this nut unless they already happen to be in a cobalt blue state.
“It wouldn’t bug me in the least to see a captain of industry, Michael Bloomberg, run the country.”
Put down the chardonnay.
Most of Bloomberg’s support would come from well to do Left leaning”independents”who would otherwise go for Hillary or Obama.
Good news for the GOP.
There is no way Hillary can win a two-way race because her negatives are over 50%. I want Hillary to lose, therefore I want a two-way race.
I am not saying Hillary will win a three-way race with Bloomberg in the mix. But I am saying it is possible she could. Therefore I do not want a three-way race.
I don’t want to hurt Hillary more than beating her. If she gets 38% of the vote instead of 48% of the vote in a two-way race, I don’t care. As long as she loses.
How do you feel about his 2nd Amendment views?
Ditto!
Ditto!
Now that’s down right Funny. McCain and you’re going to make him understand the illegal alien problem. McCain is not the type of guy that accepts YOUR input. He does what he believes is right. When he’s in the whitehouse, Amnesty will be a FACT. Count on it. He doesn’t have the personality to be told his wrong, sit down, shut up and do it our way. He’ll build 100 miles of Virtual fence, declare america safe and pass sweeping amnesty bills.
I think he exchanged that back again for an "I"?
