[Thank you for your insight.....so in essence it’s a pay to play across the board for Bloomsberg to give him the advantages he seeks. But I still question if he really wants the presidency or is he’s just manipulating the stage as he did for Pelosi to be House Leader?... Currently Hillary and Romney are too quiet..... ]

He spent years contributing to local leaders before his mayoral run. Then he ran, and won. Being kingmaker is for the birds. What kingmakers really want is to be king. Any reading of history will reveal that the only reason kingmakers refrained from putting themselves on the throne is because they feared being defeated by jealous rivals and having their kin slaughtered.

That fate isn’t in store for any presidential candidate. Nobody spends billions to have someone else’s hands on the levers of power. Like everyone who runs for the presidency, Bloomberg wants to land on a CVN and be greeted by thousands of USN sailors. He wants his name mentioned alongside Washington, Lincoln and FDR. I don’t buy that Bloomberg is merely holding someone else’s coat. What he really wants is to be head and shoulders above every other plutocrat in the world - basically the same reason Trump ran for office.

You're likely correct.....although I could see Bloomberg getting vast amounts of adulation and notoriety if he pulled Hillary over the threash hold....but I can't see him going that low either.
