There had been rumbles before, but this is the first time that Bloomberg has said this for attribution to a major publication like the Financial Times. Given that ballot deadlines are looming in the beginning of March, he's probably getting people lined up, just in case. Considering the billion (or more) dollars that a campaign will require, he will probably delay making a decision until the last possible minute.

Bloomberg would be the richest candidate in American political history with a fortune of $36 billion, dwarfing the resources of Republican Donald Trump and enabling him to self-fund a campaign many times over.

Sorry Blooming Idiot, but money can't buy you love OR the pResidency.

Go away you communist hack.

I’d much prefer Rudy Giuliani to Bloomberg

With Burny and Michael in the same race I hope that we can do better than another McCain or Romney.

He’d take a lot more votes from the nanny-staters than from the conservative side.

I would say that Hillary has agreed to be his vp. He would squash Sanders.

He would self-fund and he owns everyone and the media.

Everyone knows that the #1 issue in America is oversized soda drinks.

Bloomberg is a solution looking for a problem.

This is the guy, as NYC Mayor, that wouldn’t let his SUV idle with the AC running for fear of criticism, but had staff wheel out a household AC unit on a stand to blow in the window.

Cause...everyone knows electricity comes from pixy dust.

I don't believe it. Candidates who get in this late don't have a chance. And he is not stupid enough to spend his own money foolishly.

Plus, where does he fit in? He's basically Trump without the mercurial and gauche elements.
