He can afford to do anything he wants to.....

Except win the presidency. Jeb spent $150 million. How'd that work out?

The Beatles nailed it.

So much for the Donald leaving the GOP. Bloomberg is boxing him in.

Agreed. My point is that his money can get him on the ballot, not necessarily win.

Well, all the Anti-Gun Nanny-State vote will be locked up for him. All four percent!

Excellent notice. I didn’t check the source. This is a Turkish news outlet.

It’s kinda of amazing that a Turkish newspaper has the inside scoop on what Bloomie’s gonna do.

Sounds like the usual nonsense to me, though.

Trump is Rorschach. He's not locked in with the Republicans, the Republicans are locked in with him!

Yep. On the ballot almost everywhere, but no path to victory.

What not? The Democrats are going to run Hillary, a terrible candidate. The Republican are going to run Trump, another terrible candidate. Why not have a terrible 3rd party candidate too.

November is going to suck. 2017 is going to suck more.

The only other possible result of a Bloomberg candidacy would be to annihilate the Republican Party

Are you assuming he's running as a republican and not an independent or democrat?

I'm assuming Bloomberg would run as an Independent. It would greatly diminish votes for Republicans in the US Senate and HOR. I could easily anticipate that in a situation like that the anger would be directed at the Republican Party and folks would vote for Trump and against the rest of the ticket, except for those totally enthusiastic about Trump.

If the Republican nomination is stolen by Bloomberg or anyone else, the party is over. It would be left with those voters who supported Jeb....and there weren't many.

He’ll blunt Donald Trump in the North East allowing Hillary to secure the states there!
