I just don't see any groundswell of support for him. By putting himself forward, he makes things worse.

If I were to vote in a presidential

all other candidates combined X 100. He can spend $2 Billion without breaking a sweat.

If Bloomberg fails, the conclusion should be money alone is not enough.

- the vile Howard Wolfson, one of the most unfortunate advisors (along with the also-vile Mark Penn) of Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign.
I remember Wolfson as a nasty guy and all around very bad news, and someone who plays dirty.
Perhaps he's changed his personality and ethics in the last 11 years, but I'm not holding my breath.

This, in addition to Bloomberg's political baggage, and especially the fact that he's already 77 years old.

No thank you.
