Bloomberg will get about as far with the Democrats as Jeb did with the Republicans.

The ONLY OPTION for Bloomberg, if he’s serious, is to run Third Party, but then who will he pull votes from? My answer is the Democrats, given how whacked out they are...and that is providing that Trump doesn’t double-cross us, such as on immigration.

So then Bloomberg must ask: Does he want to be the SPOILER who sends Trump to the White House for ANOTHER 4 years?

That would depend on whether he wants a 70% federal income tax imposed by whatever non-Bloomberg candidate becomes the Democratic nominee. I could seriously see a social liberal plutocrat jumping in 3rd party to defeat a socialist Democrat, just as a matter of wealth preservation.

Bloomberg intends to run a media campaign. Flooding places like IA and NH with advertising instead of competing with other Dem candidates for local activists. Going for ‘independents’.
