    Default Bloomberg running for president.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael...8o85U5R8OBpIlI

    We all knew it was coming after Arkansas. Part of me hopes he gets the nomination... that's the small part we all have that wants to "be there" when the race cars or airplane crashes at a show, except that would be just about all of 2020 in general.

    If ya'll have been tired of political calls and advertisements in the past...

    Just wait until two 70+ year old narcissistic wanna-be celeb billionaires are running against each other.

    So what are the rules on one campaign giving their war-chest to another campaign when they pull out of the race?

    I gotta wonder if he actually thinks he has a chance of winning the primary (let alone the general) or if this isn't just some way for him to launder/funnel more money than the FEC allows into the campaign of whomever the DNC candidate ends up being?

    wouldn't that be tBs ?

    bloomberg's only interest is to do as much damage to Trump as possible. Having an election platform to do so is a bonus. They've hated each other for decades.

    Of course this only shows how hypocritical the D's are when it comes to their RICH, OLD, WHITE MAN condition.

    One can hope that he's conceited enough to run as a 3rd party candidate when he loses the nomination...
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    More chaos for the Dems. Should be entertaining.

    IMO, Bloomberg is the only credible candidate the Dems have at this time. Now that Biden is dead due to the Ukrainian corruption connection and his apparent dementia, and Warren's unpardonable Indian scams and ridiculous tax plans there is no one left who can pretend to be presidential.

    Bloomberg will come across as reasonable and sane against Trump's endless twitchy tweets. The deep state media cabal has done it's job. Trump fatigue has piled up and both the moderate Dems and Rino Never Trumper Republicans will vote for relief. The Rinos will be sold by the fact that Bloomy was a Rino himself. The new moderate will heroically save us all.

    This is the setup, billionaire vs. billionaire ala Mad Magazine in the new century.

    What does Trump and Muhammad have in common? Their worshippers can't accept a joke. When observational commentary on the Trainwreck of two billionaires being nominated is "Trump derangement".... Muhammad is just as sacred in some countries.

    I do agree with Hummer's assessment. Bloomberg is dangerous. And the real problem with Trump is he is NOT a strong candidate. The reason the media pushed him so hard in 2016 is out of all possible R nominees, he polled the worst against Clinton, and Clinton drastically was doing almost the worst in their party.

    Basically the D have a free court shot to elect whatever the hell they want to, with a strong possibility that wouldn't otherwise exist, because T is as hated (statistically) as HRC, and the only reason T got elected, e.g. squeaked enough votes, IS that hatred of HRC, which motivated her opposition. Bloomberg doesn't quite have the same level, and he has more $.

    Without that universal co-hatred of candidates; Trump's chances of a second term may only be as good as a three legged horse at the derby esp while outspent.

    If anyone wonders why the Dems have gone all out risking all credibility now and into history with Russiagate and the great Ukrainian impeachment fraud, it's because they're terrified someone will discover that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is already dead. Her corpse has been paraded back and forth from the hospital to the court like Bernie in Weekend at Bernies.The next Supreme Court appointment could determine whether the United States remains whole or devolves into the failed state necessary for the Marxist takeover.
