After all the wailing & gnashing of teeth over Bloomberg, why the crickets now when he doesn't run?

‘I could not win': Michael Bloomberg rules out a presidential run

Former New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said Monday that he will not run for president this election cycle.

“I’m flattered that some think I could provide this kind of leadership,” he said in an essay posted on the website Bloomberg View. “But when I look at the data, it’s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win.”

Bloomberg, 74, one of the world’s wealthiest men, used the essay to put to rest months of speculation over whether he would enter the race — and thereby scramble an already chaotic contest — as well as to criticize Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.). A Bloomberg candidacy could tip the election in their favor, he said, adding, “That is not a risk I can take in good conscience.”

2. I'm even more taken aback by the arrogance of these men.

One millionaire holds a press conference telling Republicans to vote for Rubio in Florida and Kasich in Ohio. A billionaire creates his own candidate scenario in deciding if he will run or not. And I don't give a crap what either Romney or Bloomberg thinks.
