“The fix for Hillary as a VP is in.”

I think that’s just idle speculation. A lot can happen between now and the dem convention. He has a lot of time to see how things play out, then make a decision. He may have leaked Hillary as a trial balloon, but that’s just a guess.

The predictable rush to Bloomberg as the only viable antidote to Trump is beginning.

The purchased polling just came out immediately with the “stop and frisk” controversy to show Bloomberg was still polling well with minority voters. Wasn’t that convenient? That is what lots of money can buy you.

Bloomberg will have the biggest campaign that money can buy and he has hired and will hire the best people so in comparison to the unimpressive field in the DNC primary he will be the logical alternative to Bernie as the antidote to Trump. His endless buys also present the best opportunity to preserve the house as he has promised to spend money down the ticket at the very time where DNC fundraising is the worst on record.

He is an uncharismatic nanny-stater, but we underestimate his bank roll at our own peril. Look for more of the pundit class to shift towards him because I do not see any viable alternative for the DNC at this point.

While Bloomberg does not solve the Bernie problem for the DNC, he likely presents the most upside for a cash starved party against Trump and the big dem donors have spoken.

the best place to live in the world and that shining city on the hill that Ronald Reagan used to talk about

You had absolutely no use for Reagan and nothing good to say about him at the time, Donaldson, you lying scumbag.

I like the bumper sticker idea.

“Don’t let a billionaire beat Bernie!”

How laughable that Sam and his ilk invoke the name of Reagan now.

When a flat tax rate for all incomes was proposed in the Reagan era, Donaldson couldn’t understand that 10% of a million dollars was more than 10% of a thousand dollars.
“But the rich are paying the same as the poor if it’s a flat tax, that’s not fair” was his quote.

Donaldson later dismissed concerns that Bloomberg was attempting to buy the presidency, saying he wouldn’t be “beholden to anyone” because he’s putting his own money in, and played down the anger over the stop-and-frisk policing strategy that was used during Bloomberg’s time as New York mayor.

Hey Sam, how many pieces of silver, did Mini Mike have to pay you for your backing.

From now on if any Trump voters see mini Mike, they need to start shouting

Mini Mike! Stand up Mini Mike!!

HRC as veep! It now becomes nakedly obvious that Bloomberg doesn’t understand what “The line of succession” would entail.

Sam Donaldson is still alive??? I could've sworn he died about 20 years ago.

Maybe I'm thinking of his toupee.

Sam has a thing for former Republicans?

Is Bloomberg’s plan to turn over the Presidency to Hillary immediately after he is sworn in?

Oh man, that’s devastating. Reagan admits his sordid past, of being a Democrat. Trump could use this, but his style is not the same.

Sam Donaldson needs to lose that ridiculous fuzzy thing on his head worthy of Jim Trafficant.

That, and he’s not worthy to utter the name Ronald Reagan.

If Hillary is your VP, expect to die by suicide with fifty stab wounds and fifty bullets throughout your body (one for each state).

All video cameras and cell phones within a mile will fail to function as your “suicide” is happening.

The mass media will congratulate you on your suicide skills!

Maybe Donaldson is right if he means that Bloomberg has better suits than the other candidates. After all, he is a billionaire.
