He schemed and made a deal to have term limits that had been voted on 2x overturned, so he could have a 3rd term. This is not who we want in the WH after what we've been through.

I have been saying for ages that if Warren wins, Howard Schultz will run as an indie. Still not sure if Bloomberg would, but this makes it at least within the realm of possibility.

He looked very closely at doing so in 2016 and concluded it would just help Trump. I don’t think anything has changed in that matter.

He’s someone that does his homework, so he must have some reason to believe he has a shot at this.

I assume he will take the same stupid stance if it if Warren.

I also assume he's jumping in because he sees the momentum Warren is getting and realizes Biden probably can't maintain his numbers.

Another rich NYC businessman with an overactive ego is the last thing this country needs.

Warren will have my vote if Bloomberg somehow gains traction.
