BREAKING: Bloomberg said to be considering run for presidency... (w/Update & Link)
With the caveat of either a Trump or Sanders nomination eventuality.
Said to be frustrated with the current situation and would mount a third-party challenge in the event tRump is the nominee for the rethugs or if Bernie is the nominee on the Dem side.
Developing story, looking for a link. Just heard on MSNBC.
CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/23/politics/michael-bloomberg-president-2016/
Thank link is 2 hours old so if this has been posted, sorry. I just heard about it on MSNBC as if it was new.
The part that doesn't make sense is if Bloomy runs 3rd party if TRUMP wins nom.
Not sure Bloomy could run as a 3rd party republican or is this some sort of 12th level mental 3D chess bullshit.

1. The fact that this center-right Billionaire would be happy with Clinton speaks volumes.
:o Bloomberg is center-right? WTF? Who the **** would support him?

3. Trump-Sanders-Bloomberg would be a wild race.
3 NYers. Two Billionaires. Two Jewish candidates.
I think Bloomberg could hurt Sanders with some Dems and pick up the Chamber of Commerce Republicans.
I wonder if Bloomberg could do to Sanders what Sanders has done to Democrats for 30 years.

6. Say it's Trump and Bernie...whose candidacy would an independent Bloomberg run hurt more?
I'm asking because I honestly have no idea.

10. I think it would hurt neither one of them. tRump's supporters are stupid and don't...
...take consequences into consderation and, let's just admit, want chaos. Bernie's people are sick of billionaires who need more money than God and know there's only so much to go around and don't like to give way to stingy 1%ers.
In other words, Bloomberg wastes money and everyone's time and loses.

13. Trump WILL Be the candidate for the Rs
and if Sanders ends up getting the nomination for the Ds, this will be wild.
I expect at that point for Sanders to win the Presidency. A similar scenario to yes the Clinton Bush race.
Aw, damn. Now I am pissed off because every thing The Nadin syas turnes out to be wrong and I do kinda like Trump. Hopefully it's not Jeb who gets to nom.

12. Indeed. The RePubs will face a choice of a hard-line gun-grabber. Good news..if Bernie gets the nomination.

I'm not that religious but I will be praying that Bloomberg runs for preezy.

I really, really hope bloomberg runs and runs on a firearm confiscation platform.

Bloomberg would be catastrophic.
Those other two nuts might be even more catastrophic.
What a choice.

Firearm and soda confiscation. :whatever:
-
Bloomberg might run as an independent, but I think he would only half-heartedly run in the hopes that Hillary is indicted and he would get the nod from the DNC.
I think Slow Joe Biden is the DNC's backup plan, though.

Two new York billionaire blowhards up there yelling at each other.... could be fun to watch for awhile
