Michael R. Bloomberg, who bypassed his own run for the presidency this election cycle, will endorse Hillary Clinton in a prime-time address at the Democratic convention and make the case for Mrs. Clinton as the best choice for moderate voters in 2016, an adviser to Mr. Bloomberg said.
The news is an unexpected move from Mr. Bloomberg, who has not been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000; was elected the mayor of New York City as a Republican; and later became an independent.
But it reflects Mr. Bloomberg’s increasing dismay about the rise of Donald J. Trump and a determination to see that the Republican nominee is defeated.
Mrs. Clinton is seeking to reach out to middle-of-the-road swing voters and even moderate Republicans uneasy about Mr. Trump. Polls show that significant numbers of Republicans remain wary of Mr. Trump, and question his fitness for the presidency.
Mr. Bloomberg will vouch for Mrs. Clinton “from the perspective of a business leader and an independent,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr. Bloomberg.

He’s not even a RINO anymore. He ran as a Republican and quickly changed to Independent. He has always acted like a Democrat.
All this means is that Bloomberg can buy Clinton, but he can’t buy Trump
Rich elite will vote for the person who will put money in their pockets, they don’t care about the (R) or the (D) that is just a show for the peons who don’t know better
Who cares....Bloomberg is lost at sea....no one with half a brain gives a hoot!!!
Whatever party he claims to represent, he's a creep, a dwarf and a hypochondriac nanny-state nasty man.
Good, I was afraid old bloomy was going to try and ruin it for Trump....he can go ‘cuddle’ with Hillary and Timmy....
Trump pisses off all the right people.
He has 100% score on the list of people most needing to be pissed off.
Michael Bloomberg is a loser who did screwed up Rudy's New York Renaissance
Michael Bloomberg sets new record for how much ego and arrogance can be stuffed into such a small body and with Robert Reich still alive, that's quite and accomplishment
” .. Donald doesn’t endorse his soda pop grab campaign.”
Maybe shes promised him she’ll act in her first 100 days on banning 7/11 big gulps.
Isn’t Bloomberg the Nazi who is trying to get rid of the Bill of Rights? It doesn’t surprise me that he’s one of Clintoon’s boys.
Bloomberg spent millions in NV to get more gun control here.
awe...... the little arrogant bastard is dismayed, he fooled no one he was always a liberal skunk with a sign on his back that sed kick me I like it
So the extremely careless and unsophisticated Hillary Clintoon is more “fit” to be president? I don’t think so.
Bloomberg is an idiot. Nobody gives a spit who he endorses.
Dude was never a republican.
Trump is pro-2nd Amendment! 'Nough said!
Oh, NOOO!!!!!
/s
He was always a ‘Rat mole, not even much of a pretend RINO.
Another great endorsement for me!
Often, the best endorsements are not who likes you, but who does not!
Bloomberg is an absolute disgrace. He must not care about the country all that much.
The hell you say!
Well said,
I’ve told many folks that if Trump succeeds at nothing else in politics, we all should be grateful the curtain has been pulled back and even mainstream disinterested voters can see who they really are,
Just like with obama saying that Trump is gloom and doom, if you have to tell people that things are wonderful, their not. It means the spell is wearing off.
