I've seen the speculation about Bloomberg as an independent, but if his polling comes in at an acceptable level, and the alternative is Socialist Bernie or an ailing Hillary, the backroom Dems might toss Hilly over the side and talk Bloomberg into running.

And an ailing Hillary could be indicted on Monday, and pardoned by Baraq on Tuesday. I know the person should be found guilty before being pardoned based on law and precedence, but Baraq thinks the rules don't apply to him, so he can make up his own rules on this as well. (See "Pen and Phone" quotes for reference).

“the backroom Dems might toss Hilly over the side and talk Bloomberg into running.”

That’s quite possible, but I think Obama and ValJar want Biden and with Bloomberg’s ego, I don’t think he’d run as a VP. Plus, I think at least some of the Dims want a Biden-Fauxchontas ticket.

“And an ailing Hillary could be indicted on Monday, and pardoned by Baraq on Tuesday.

That wouldn’t surprise me. And, while I agree with your premise that someone should be found guilty before being pardoned, if memory serves correct (and correct me if I’m wrong), didn’t Ford pardon Nixon before he was found guilty?
