Bloomberg’s the man to beat Hillary for Democratic nomination

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Where are all the Democrats? Candidates, that is.
The putative front runner, Hillary Clinton, sent out a tweet that she’s running and hasn’t been heard from since, except for being mired in the scandals of her emails, “non-profit” foundation and Benghazi.

All sorts of Republicans are jumping into the GOP race. Dr. Ben Carson, former Gov. Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina are the latest. This is in a field already crowded with such heavyweights as Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. And Jeb Bush is exploring.
Yet almost no one is rising to the challenge of running for the Democratic nomination.
There is an ex-mayor, Martin O’Malley, who has been making noises about running. But the city he was mayor of lies in ashes, a symbol of the failure of liberal Democratic urban politics.

...


The ex-mayor could also self-fund a presidential campaign, even a big one, and rich as Bloomberg is, he doesn’t seem entirely comfortable merely counting his cash.
There was a story the other day that he was thinking of running for mayor of London.
But why bow to Queen Elizabeth? He’d be better off if he stayed home and ran against Queen Hillary. At the rate things are going, she could yet abdicate.

I can't use the r word because that's a pejorative...What a f--king dolt!!! They pay people to write this garbage? I should write an opinion piece for Ring Magazine that I can beat Floyd Mayweather...

I tell you the Newscorp people ( FOX, NYPOST, et al) are clowns

1. Bernie is the man

whomever can say what they want but my money is on the democratic socialist man.

2. I'd beat Mayweather in a fight before Hillary would lose to Bloomberg!

3. I'm from the Bronx. No thonx.

We managed to run his gilded rear end out of here after 12 years of trying.

It only took us 5 years to get the the entire British Empire.
to am-scray.

They were made for each other. Let him go to London.

5. What did you think of his idea to limit soda sizes?

That seems like a clash between liberalism, libertarianism, and common sense.

8. I thought it was a trivial gesture to nanny-state liberals... of the comfy uptown Manhattan variety....

... to cover up for lethal hard-core corporate policies he pursued relative to public schools , unions , real estate and housing.

He had, literally, the Midas touch. Everything was possible... including "incentivizing" the city council to change the charter to allow Bloomberg to buy another four years.

In this town.... money doesn't talk, it SWEARS OUT LOUD.

And whatever the above situation was.... to paraphrase Brandeis... it "weren't" democracy.

9. If NY fast food places are like the rest of the nation a person could just get free refills...

New Yorkers seem to have a fascination with GOP mayors; Lindsay, Guiuliani, Bloomberg...

4. I think he'd split the Hillary vote

Handing it to Bernie or another FDR Democrat, hopefully.

6. Hah! I hope Bernie's "Karl Rove" type person (campaign strategist or

operative) is assiduously courting Bloomberg's entry as a stalking horse for Hillary. Now that woud be friggin' hilarious!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I think he'd split the Martin O'Malley vote.

Handing to Hillary a 60.5 triumph over her closest opponent rather than a 60% triumph.


Our Hillary is the Floyd Mayweather of the political world. She is the Sun around which the political world revolves.

12. LOL.. even if split ole Bernie would still come up short.

10. The NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch

Isn't the NY Post a conservative paper, owned by News Corp (i.e. Fox News)? Not sure I give a tinker's damn what they think.

Since 1993, the NY Post has been owned by News Corporation and its successor, News Corp
News Corp is an American multinational mass media company founded by Rupert Murdoch
