Mike will never understand why he would be an unacceptable candidate to Americans on any side of the aisle, but I cheer for him spending vast amounts of his money in pursuit of a nomination, because this generation needs a practical demonstration of “a fool and his money are soon parted”. Spend, Mike, Spend.
Unlike the Orange Toad who claims to be more perfect than god, Bloomberg has owned up to his previous mistakes and has apologized for them. If a mistake is admitted to by the Orange Toad, someone else has always done it. How can a Teflon Toad have so many warts?
It’s alarming that Bloomberg is repeating the long-discredited idea that the housing crash was caused by banks being forced by “liberal policies” to lend to (ahem) African-Americans (and other unworthies). It was international in scope>.
I cannot rid myself of the feeling that one billionaire dilettante in the Oval Office was enough. Although it must be admitted that Mr. Bloomberg has held political office (which puts him one-up on the current resident).
Read it here first. Bloomberg will be nominated for President in Milwaukee on the third ballot of a contested convention. He is and has been quietly “buying” delegate support either through campaign donations or promises of donations. His recent “leak” by his very professional staff RE Hillary as VP is one more indication of his strategy of triangulation. He is a brilliant politician with unlimited resources and a total lack of a need to disclose his policies or plans. So "Jokers on the left and Clowns on the right, in November you will have a choice of two NYC billionaires. Will you choose Orange Man Bad or Bloomberg as our Nanny in Chief? In a democracy, we always get what we deserve, and we get it good and hard.
He didn’t say we should return to redlining. He said that the response to redlining played a major role in the real estate melt down. And he is correct. Instead of cracking down on lenders for discriminatory practices we created no-doc rules and govt guarantees that allowed people of all races to take huge loans they couldn’t possibly have qualified for under normal rules.
As for stop and frisk, well…it worked. NYC took a huge number of illegal guns off the streets. Murders and other firearm related crimes were greatly reduced. And yes, you send the police where the crime is. Duh.
If it comes to Bloomberg vs Trump, Guns will be at the forefront. Trump has become a NRA favorite Bloomberg a poster child for Brady/ Handgun Control. Bloomberg is more strict than Beto He wants to take America back to the 1860’s. The Electoral College will rear it’s head again 35+ States go to Trump just based on Gun Control. Democrat suicide again similar to Al Gore losing his home state of Tennessee. Not the boarder, welfare, reproductive rights, race, honesty or decency. Just the 2nd amendment. With another term Trump will get a least one more SCOTUS appointment.

Hopefully we won’t be singing ’Won’t Get Fooled Again’ come November.

The democrats’ pursuit of a candidate with no flaws of any kind will result in Trump getting re-elected.

And he’s not even half the racist or misogynist that Trump is but what gets support from Republicans, (thankfully) brings disdain from Democrats.

Well, if it is a three – choice election (not voting, vote for Mr. Trump, vote for Mr.Bloomberg), then the rational choice is Mr. Bloomberg.

If those billionaires are saying they’re “just like us” then why do they think we’re all such racist a-holes?

Looks like Trump and His Disciples are getting worried about Bloomberg.

Unfairly targeted in both cases.
He didn’t say we should return to redlining. He said that the response to redlining played a major role in the real estate melt down. And he is correct. Instead of cracking down on lenders for discriminatory practices we created no-doc rules and govt guarantees that allowed people of all races to take huge loans they couldn’t possibly have qualified for under normal rules.

I wish Mike had spent his millions to just buy Fox News. Would have helped the country a lot more.

I really hope he works out or at least throws in with a good candidate of which I am waiting to see if one shows up.

He’s still able to throw more money at his candidacy than, well, anybody. And the Supremes have ruled that money is speech, so there’s no legal limit.
