The rumblings are beginning.
Just as the Democratic party considers drafting a 2016 challenger into take on a floundering Hillary Clinton, GOP voices are speaking up about shaking up their primary race as well.
Conservative stalwarts Bill Kristol is leaving the door open for an “October surprise,” even suggesting the possibility that a business person, such as a “saner and sounder” version of Donald Trump, could emerge.
Now enter a man who knows a thing or two of drumming up attention (and selling papers) - Rupert Murdoch. Just as massive stock drop has many investors eyeing the financial headlines, the media mogul is stirring the pot, trying to draft fellow billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg into the presidential race.

Good one.
Murdock is early stage Alzheimer,in my opinion. (Very bad early onset) . He is living in the 1980s when he had a life. Michael Bloomberg couldn’t carry a single state against TRUMP!! Not one. What a knee slapping belly laugh.
Trump plays well out in the hinterlands. Bloomberg comes across like a beady-eyed bureaucrat who is certain he knows what’s best for you, whether you like it or not.
Won’t work.
For a long time, there have been insiders saying that that Michael Bloomberg may run as a “centrist” independent in the case of a non GOPe approved candidate winning the nomination.
It would be very telling if all the choices on the general election ballot (that had a prayer in hell of winning) were New York billionaires. That’s pretty much the sad story of where this country is at right now.
Bloomberg or Sanders? What would be the difference between them? Not much that’s for certain.
If he jumps in you can bet a VP deal was cut with his name on it.
The only thing that Bloomburg should run for is COVER.
I love being in the south :)
Bloomberg as the Republican candidate?
Dude is outa his mind, totally!
Bloomberg is total Fascist totalitarian....probably even too far Left for even the Dems.
Talk about a white version of Obama!
Bloomberg would rule more like a white Michelle Obama...total autocrat...”The peasants have no bread? Then let them eat cake...”
Murdog can go suck on Bloombutt’s shriveled weenie.
This article must have been concocted while he was having an opium dream.
Bloomberg belongs in the Dem primary.
I think you’re right.
“Conservative stalwart Bill Kristol ...”
Chortle
Hide your guns.
Murdoch, the founder of “conservative” Fox News, loves pro-abort, pro homo “marriage” Bloomberg.
Good point. He’s such a tool.
Maybe Murdoch is smarter than we think. He is looking for a Democrat disaster to match the Republican Trump problem, in the hopes that the two bozzos will cancel out.
Anyway, it might work.
This is a sign it’s Trump’s race to win the GOP nomination. It’s over.
