He won’t pull votes from Trump, and he won’t pull votes from bernie the red. cankles is the only one damaged by bloomie’s entrance and to a lesser extent, 4% jeb.
I would say this. If Bloomberg runs as a third-party guy...it’s mostly because he has inside information of Hillary facing charges and knows that Bernie is the Democrat’s top choice.
The thing is...if you go state by state....with Bernie, Trump and Bloomberg....I think Bloomie could win California and maybe two other states. With the Electoral College, if you don’t cross the 270 vote threshold....it goes to the House, where each state has one single vote among it’s legislative members.
I think that’s Bloomies intention....drawing this over to the House, where the Republican elite can shift their stance and pull Bloomberg as their choice instead of Trump.
It would be comical....Bloomberg getting ranked third on nation-wide votes, and ending up in a House situation where the elite bring him up for the job of President.
