Who is Bloomberg's constituency? Is it Republicans who are desperate for a standard-bearer in the mold of Ronald Reagan? Bloomberg doesn't appeal to the GOP base -- he's liberal, from New York and is Jewish. (Be honest, if he was a hard-core conservative and a Baptist, they would be falling over him.)

Most are critical of his arrogant dictatorial attitude towards those he was elected to serve.
The libs are scared of a Bloomberg Run!
Run Bloomy Run,
And you too Nader,
Oh and the CP
and The Libertarians,
If we have them plus the Reps and Dems then maybe we can have a true RR Conservative in the white house. At least possibly a realalignment ala 1860s.
Martin’s point, if you read the article has little to do with Bloomberg being Jewish. He wasn’t saying the GOP is anti-Jewish, he was simply saying that rich Jewish liberals like Bloomberg aren’t exactly the GOP base.
The reality is that most Jewish people don’t vote Republican and people tend to vote for candidates they can identify so Bloomberg’s candidacy won’t take votes from the GOP but from Dems.
His main point, however was that Bloomberg has no grassroots constituency to rely on because he has covered no issues the other two parties aren’t covering.
Bloomberg’s only reason for becoming President is because he wants to be President.
DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner.
Power-mad contempt for the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the Second Amendment through the criminal solicitation of criminal activities does not presidential material make.
(Sheeeeesh! All we need is another New York Liberal in the race...)
Smart people can be like that sometimes. Especially those that have $5 billion of their own.
Bloomberg would not draw from that base.
He would be more likely to pull votes from Hitlary or O'bamma.

Comment:
No newbie I didn’t read the article, that is why the excerpt was posted. (Sarcasm On)
What this MSM loving dopey writer was inferring is that most Republicans are nothing more than racists, arrogant, narrow minded Mushrooms.
As for Bloomberg taking votes away from the Republicans I doubt that would be a major concern outside of Manhattan.
You had me laughing so hard i am crying
I agree, but that also covers most of the candidates in the Republican and Democrat party, plus some who haven't entered the race but would like to.
Yeah, he’s only lived in New York City. And that is part of America. If it were not, then the terrorists did not attack America, you stupid hick.
I was thinking of Maine, where Perot got his highest percentage of the vote. Bloomberg could do well there, but those may not have been typical Perot voters.
Yeah, well, I agree he’s sharp and very intelligent. But I don’t think he is any more intelligent than Giuliani. Moreover, I am concerned that unlike Giuliani, he has not fought two extremely difficult campaigns. Bloomberg was able to spend his opposition into oblivion both times. That might not happen on a national level.
Sure can’t tell just by looking! Where do they hide the Bill of Rights?
What do you mean?
Don’t bother! He’s hittin’ the ‘shine early.
Yeah, he’s only lived in New York City. And that is part of America.
Uh, he was born in Boston and grew up in Medford, MA.
At least as Mayor the past 6 years, and last I checked, Massachusetts is part of the United States too.
...and last I checked, Massachusetts is part of the United States too.
Trying telling that to a Yankees fan.
Well, I’m an Eagles fan, so I’m not exactly bubbling with enthusiasm for Massachusetts.
