Shades of Ross Perot!

Call me paranoid but I remember the last time a megalomaniacal billionaire ran as a third part candidate. Couldn’t get himself elected but we ended up with Clinton. Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat.

If anything Bloomberg would sink the DemocRAT ticket.

Shades of Ross Perot!

Ross Perot, who secured 19 per cent of the vote in 1992, is widely credited with enabling Bill Clinton to defeat President George Bush Snr.
***One of the driving forces behind Ross Perot getting into the race was that his family and the Bush family had been waging a feud for a long time. He absolutely hated Bush. There might be something like that operating with Bloomberg as well. It would mean that the republican party needs to pull their candidate from the right side of the spectrum, like Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson. Regardless of what happens, it would be an interesting race.

This is just what Clinton is waiting for.

True, but don't forget that crazy Billionaire shared a lot of ground with conservatives. Bloomberg's in hillary's territory.
