Ok - I am learning from this thread.
Thanks

I will seek the Weekly Standard article.
Thanks for that.

Bloomberg is a business and administrative genius. I've been a customer of his for decades, live near him in Manhattan, and as a lifelong (uh, native) New Yorker, feel comfortable saying he's built beautifully on what Rudy did to turn the city around.
That said, he is indeed a LimoLib, and is very very socially left-of-center. His work to restrict gun rights is downright heinous.
I cannot imagine him attracting any "conservative" votes.
To: NativeNewYorker
Great feedback - I just got off the phone with a buddy that lives in NYC.
He said exactly what you said.
Thanks
To: AppyPappy
He’s rich and he wants the job?

Maybe we can get him to run with Nader or Sharpton as his running mates.

But he has no platform. Even Perot had a platform.

Mayor Bloomberg is a Democrat.
He changed parties to run for mayor in New York when he couldn’t et nominated as a Democrat. He’s a liberal on most issues like the Second Amendment. Probably a Rudy Giuliani Clone.
Hope he runs as a third party candidate and steals Democrat votes.
I can’t stand the guy.

I would say we have a consensus.
His run would take more votes from Hillary than the GOP nominee.
Seems like that’s what everyone has to say.
To: Jake The Goose
Don’t think this wouldn’t hurt the GOP. He might make even RINOs look good, but the MSM will label him a Maverick republican who stands up against the special interest. That and his own money will buy a lot of votes.

Why would Bloomberg run? There are several reasons, but the top 3 are:
1. Ego
2. Ego
3. Ego

Outstanding - thanks a ton for that.
I will do my homework.
Nice of you - I appreciate that.

We already have two spoilers. We don’t need a third!

Oh man. I felt good
I'd set aside twenty bucks
