Michael Bloomberg Won’t Run for President in 2020
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 3-5-2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 03/05/2019 3:13:32 PM PST by Sir Napsalot

Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg will not run for president in 2020, the billionaire announced Tuesday. Bloomberg flirted with a presidential run before as an independent. He registered as a Democrat last fall and spent recent months courting primary voters as a political centrist. The 77-year-old is expected to play an active role in the 2020 election from the outside. His team has been preparing a massive data-driven effort to help defeat President Donald Trump.

“I know what it takes to run a winning campaign, and every day when I read the news, I grow more frustrated by the incompetence in the Oval Office. I know we can do better as a country. And I believe I would defeat Donald Trump in a general election,” Bloomberg said in a statement. “But I am clear-eyed about the difficulty of winning the Democratic nomination in such a crowded field.”

One less entity in the over-flowing clown bus.

But whatever he believes (bold emphasis mine), we won't know now, would we?

He’s talking trash now because he’s just received a new pair of elevator shoes! Maybe he can stand next to Trump and do a “Jeb Bush Tippy Toe!” I’d pay money to see that!

He’s not running for the same reason you don’t see backs in NASCAR. They don’t have the balls.

With his kind of money I would own two islands - one in the tropics and one in Alaska and would never be heard from again.

Don't count on this being the last word on the topic. The big fish don't jump into the race early. Best to let the little fish wear each other out first.

A ‘crowded field’ is not your problem, Mr. Bloomberg.

You are a white male. Simple as that.

So Michael Bloomberg knows he can’t win the Democratic nomination even with billions of dollars at his disposal, yet the relatively destitute Joe Biden still thinks he can?
