I believe he's going to run.

[Jewbacca]

Great so we will have TWO gun grabbing liberall New York billionaires who pretend to be republican running for office.

[Theodore R.]

I wonder why he doesn’t just anoint Mrs. Bill instead.

[TitansAFC]

This will give Moderate Republicans their alternative to Trump.

So instead of losing 35 states to Hillary, he’ll now lose 38 or 39.

And that’s before Trump moves leftward when he knows there’s nothing Conservatives can do about it anymore.

[Political Junkie Too]

I think Levin was right about this last month. A Bloomberg run means President Trump.

If Bloomberg prevents anyone from reaching 270 Electoral Votes, the House of Representatives must choose, by state, from the top 3 finishers. I assume that will be Trump and two non-Republicans. Republicans hold 32 state majorities to the Democrats' 16.

In a sane world, that means that the Republican candidate will win.

Who is he planning on running against? There are no scheduled elections coming up in Russia for a couple of years.

[afsnco]

Both NY “republicans,” both billionaires... I can see how he’d appeal to “moderates” who are sickened by HRC corruption, and frightened by Trump’s rhetoric. But I think on balance he’ll play a spoiler more to HRC than to Trump.

[Little Ray]

That is great news. It splits the Democrat votes.
He sure won’t siphon any votes from the ‘Pubbies!

[Mase]

Please make it so. Run Bloomie, run!

Puts NY in play and forces Clinton too spend money she wouldn't otherwise have to.

I wonder, though, what his real purpose is.

[bgill]

My cat would get more votes.

[Army Air Corps]

He’ll keep America safe from the scourge of extra large soft drinks! And table salt (the Salty Horror)!

[drpix]

Delusional!

Americans know Bloomberg as the greatest gun-grabber since King George. The below map and link should be a reality check for supporters of gun grabber Bloomberg:

In short, there is no map for a Bloomberg national victory - as an independent or a Democrat substitute for Hillary.

[Pox]

Say hello to President Trump!

Bloomberg will primarily take votes from Clinton. This makes Mr. Trump a shoe in, IMO.

[JohnBrowdie]

only new york is a pompous enough state to think that it deserves 3 presidential candidates in the general election . . . 4 if you count bernie’s brooklyn birth.

[Ancesthntr]

If this happens, it ensures that the Republican will win. Bloomberg’s votes will come 80% from the Dems. Hillary will DEFINITELY lose NY in this scenario.

[bmwcyle]

The biggest POS in the world.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I like it. He’ll be more effective than Ralph Nader at drawing votes away from Hillary.

[DoodleDawg]

It’d hurt Hillary more than Trump.

[mulligan]

Might as well add one more corrupt and incompetent to the list. And who cares? Just another big blowhard.

[Albion Wilde]

DNC preparing to throw Hillary under the jail. Obama’s final revenge.

[No Dems 2016]

Polls have shown that a Bloomberg run hurts the Dems, so I say bring it on!
