Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush on Sunday said former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is reportedly considering an independent presidential bid in 2016, was "a great mayor."
"Look, he's a good man," Bush said on ABC's "This Week." "He was a great mayor. He's much more liberal than I am, but he's a good person."

i didnt like it here. i HATE the violation of the 2nd amendment!!
but my mother’s parents and my father decided to go straight to Brooklyn from Italy and we forgot to move south :)
Bloomberg may run on a third party. Also if Hellary steals the election from Sanders, he may be pissed enough to run on third party.
No way will the rats allow Sanders to head their ticket, no matter how many delegates he gets.
i CANT stand those lanes when i’m walking!
he’s certifiable.
glad his little gun grabbing committee hasn’t swayed one election yet.
+2
Yeah Jebuardo is a blithering idiot ..... really !
He’s toast. He has no upside in the polls. Trump is going to steamroller him.
It’s such a great picture. I have to ask. Honestly, is it shopped? Because if not it shows how completely on top of their game the Trump, Palin et al brigade is.
LOL!
Like it or not, Trump will win a fair Republican Nomination process. I first want him to ‘steam roll’ Hillary Clinton (she dropped the Rodham for some reason, now) above all else.
I see Bloomberg only diluting Hillary’s side so I don’t much think he’s an ‘our side’ problem, actually.
Michael Bloomberg was just the transition down from Giuliani proceeding to the Red Mayor. Mayor de Blasio has to be a low point for New York City. Pray that nothing like 9/11 comes on his watch, because de Blasio would side with the terrorists.
That aside, the billion or so that Mike Bloomberg would throw into this race as an independent is a billion or so he is not throwing into some close contest (or several of them) between a pro-Second Amendment candidate, and an anti-gunner like himself.
And every vote he gets will be subtracted from Bernie Sanders, who is still vaguely pro-gunner, if not exactly a poster child for NRA.
Go, Mike, GO! Run as if every bit if credibility you have is on the line!
I was disgusted when NYers didn’t respond to his lifting of term limits by simply voting him out; that was a disgrace (and frankly, very disturbing). Here in NJ we dealt with similar lawlessness when one of our senators (Torricelli) had to drop out of a race; despite the fact that it was too late for new entrants to the race, he was replaced by another Dem (Lautenberg) who went on to win.
Hillary is an easy target, compared with Cruz, Paul and even Jebbie. Trump has tremendous crossover appeal. The DEM party is in more trouble than the GOP, and I won’t be surprised if Trump has something hidden up his sleeve.
Not shopped. This was taken at a CPAC conference.
The man who made a Supersize Slurpee illegal was a great crime fighter? You are delusional.
Actually he was...sorry you’re not up to speed.
Bloomers will be a good “Ross Perot” to help the demwits lose the election.
Yea, I remember that...you are right there regarding congestion pricing, although I’d argue that they already have. Try driving on a toll bridge out there and see what you pay.
If you're like most people, your mental concept of the investigation of Hillary Clinton's Emailgate has probably involved a hazy idea that standard things are being done. I know that's been the image in my head â to the extent I've given it any thought.
The story line goes: Department of Justice has the FBI investigate something, with the idea that a grand jury may be convened and an indictment may be sought. A federal prosecutor is at the helm. His or her office would at some point be talking to us, explaining decisions about charges and prosecution.
That's the normal way of things. It's how our system works. But it hadnât really registered with me that we have not heard from a federal prosecutor.
Andrew McCarthy has a must-read piece at NRO today, pointing this out. His fine~tuned prosecutor's radar keyed on this point from the wording of a recent New York Times article on the investigation of Hillary's rogue email server. The article was, as he puts it, unusually careful to stress the following:
Yet, in reporting the story, the Times' Mark Mazzetti took pains to stress: 'The government has said that Mrs. Clinton is not a subject of the investigation.'
McCarthy recognizes that it seems kind of crazy to anyone with common sense, to stress that Hillary Clinton is not a subject of an investigation that's all about something she did.
But that's the clue that there's no standard DOJ process going on. In a formal sense ~ a prosecutor's sense â there can only be a 'subject' if there's a judicial process being pursued. And there isn't one.
True; I live a dozen miles west of NYC and haven’t been there in years. The NYC tourism industry is concerned by the number of young people in NJ that have never set foot in NYC; as our population in NJ shifts southwest, I suspect many of those younger people will never go there.
I forgot about the Toricelli-Lautenberg scam in NJ. It was horrible.
