Bloomberg running for president.

Trump mentioned it in the interview he did with Hannity the night before the Super Bowl. He felt bad for the other candidates in that they were changing the rules for 'little Mike'. The DNC was stealing the election from Bernie again. I also heard from Bernie on the radio in the truck today that he was fighting the establishments of both parties.

Here's the interview with Trump where he discusses the opposition and the changes being brought in for 'little Mike', including his being able to stand on a box at the debates:

Meaningless and non binding, especially if they cheat him off the ticket again.

He needs to get his army together and start collecting signatures in every state to force the DNCs hand in playing fair.

I've heard that from people as well. He talks about going against all the corrupt politicians, then joins hands with them and doesn't trash them in debates. Oh well, I can't really imagine voting for him so I only care as far as I like to see corruption brought down.

By their rules, they are playing "fair".
They need a rich, white guy to oppose Trump (rich, white guy).
When you have no principles, the ends (D-2020) justify the means (Bloomberg).

I don't see why it'd be any less meaningful than for former Republicans Elizabeth Warren or Michael Bloomberg. Trump was mostly a Democrat, would he qualify?

he party rules state that a candidate must "be a bona fide Democrat whose record of public service, accomplishment, public writings, and/or public statements affirmatively demonstrates that the candidate is faithful to the interests, welfare, and success of the Democratic Party of the United States who subscribes to the substance, intent, and principles of the Charter and the Bylaws of the Democratic Party of the United States, and who will participate in the Convention in good faith."

Forgive me if I missed this but what was the point of all these democratic debates and campaigning over the last few months if Bloomberg gets to just step in and take the nomination? Doesn't he need these delegates and votes that Bernie and Buttplug are locking up in Iowa and New Hampshire? I don't even see Bloomberg on the list of recieving any votes at all.

They're making the rules up as they go along. The Dems have no idea what they're doing, and the prospect of Bernie being their candidate scares the shit out of them.

Watching them turn on each other and lose their minds is a spectator sport at this point.
