Michael Bloomberg is planning a run for the U.S. presidency that would begin as early as next week.
A source with knowledge of company affairs at Bloomberg L.P., told Anadolu Agency that said senior officials at offices worldwide were clearing schedules for meetings to discuss a sudden change in the management structure at the company.
The source, who spoke to AA on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to discuss company matters on the record.
The multibillionaire owner of Bloomberg L.P. is preparing to hand over his responsibilities at the financial data and media company ahead of an announcement after Super Tuesday on March 1, a key date in the nomination process for the Republican and Democratic parties.
Bloomberg was planning to make his announcement on or after Super Tuesday, the source said.

He can afford to do anything he wants to.....Except win the presidency. Jeb spent $150 million. How'd that work out?

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

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.

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.
To: grania
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.
