Nope!

He's going to waste $2B and lay the groundwork for Hillary to win a brokered convention and lose again.

Most likely taking the House down with her.

He is serious.

He’s the most electable Democrat.

Whether a real candidate or not (and I prefer to consider Michael Bloomberg as NOT a candidate), he is certainly determined that Donald J. Trump be resisted to the degree Bloomberg is able to muster.

If this is a matter of money, then Bloomberg can support the resistance to a far greater level than practically any other player out there, except possibly George Soros, who is directing his agenda much more broadly, to Congressional and state elective offices.

At one time, the critics directed their wrath at “malefactors of great wealth”.

Well, we have a couple of them right here. Is any wrath being whipped up against either Soros or Bloomberg?

I agree - he is serious - and the biggest threat.

Still going to lose.

Lying, weasel, POS.

"Bloomberg is not bullet proof ..."

Which is certainly why he pays for so many armed bodyguards.

I think they will revert to “background noise” and won’t register anymore on people.

A natural result of our attacks on campaign finance laws. We will be just fine.

He could be electable (arguably), but he's not nominable.

The squad would have conniptions if 2020 became "The Battle of the Billionaires".

He is SUCH a bad candidate I think it makes little difference if he were to spend ALL of his money.

With the number of Democrats attending Trump’s rallies holding steady at about 25% Democrat and between 8 to 12% of attendees not voting in 2016 there really is not too much Little Michael can do to stop Trump so go away.

” ... the combined totals of Creepy Corrupt Joe and Soda Boy are greater then Angry Berd so there is your brokered convention ...”

A Biden-Bloomberg ticket isn’t “woke” enough for today’s Democrats. There would be a massive stay-home movement among the left-wing base of the party, ensuring Trumps’s re-election. A Biden-Harris or Biden-[pick your oppressed minority] ticket is much more likely.

You think President Trump ran for office to become more famous? That’s buffoonery.

To think otherwise is buffoonery. Not just Trump. Anyone who’s ever stepped into politics.

When economic approval is at 65% which it is Trump is next to impossible to beat. Thus the impeachment fiasco.

His $2B is plowing the road for whomever has already been decided upon and will be exposed during the Democratic BROKERED CONVENTION.

I’ve been saying this since he announced — it was mostly a way to get around spending limits and censors. He could care less about being President.

Although he also seems to hate Bernie Sanders, and wants to make sure Bernie doesn’t win.

Not necessarily only for the best price, but also guaranteed placement and frequency.

And not every billionaire likes spending more than they have to. Warren Buffet used to drive himself in an older Buick, just a few years ago.
