I think he is serious about running. But nobody is serious about voting for him.

He could help Bernie or Warren by splitting "moderate" votes with Biden.

If Biden implodes he will have positioned himself to move in as the alternative to the prog loons. Or so he thinks. Will be interesting to see if he directly attacks Biden with the abundant dirt out there.

Had always thought someone would come out of the pack in 2020. Gabbard was always the one I feared because she could portray herself as moderate. Veteran, attractive, etc. Kill shot on Harris put her in dog house with DNC and the media.

Bloomberg knows Warren and Bernie are not electable, absent an economic downturn. Knows Blacks won't support a gay male. Is positioning himself as last moderate standing.

If Bloomberg has figured things right the general election could come down to two New York Democrats. I say that being MAGA all the way. I'm old enough to remember Democrats like Trump.

Theoretically, if he split the Dem ticket resulting in a Warren or Sanders victory/nomination, then Bloomberg switched and qualified as third party.....that would be a little interesting. Not in a pleasant way, in my mind. Not saying bad, just not pleasant.

There must be some tax benefit to pissing away hundreds of millions of dollars on political campaigns.

His game is to keep Sanders/Warren from winning.

The campaign spending is less than the tax hike if one of them wins.

Think of all of the people he could have helped with that rather than his clown candidacy. Dems are such hypocrites.

Bloomberg and Steyer saw Trump run and win in 2016 and convinced themselves that any billionaire could run for President and win when that's not at all what Trump did.

Trump actually ran a very frugal campaign and he used his name recognition more so than his wealth. His campaign took off because he was willing to say things that needed saying but nobody else had the guts to.

These rich idiots like Bloomberg and Steyer are gonna piss away hundreds of millions of dollars on their vanity campaigns.

I've seen him in photos of people who have pretty well known heights. I'd say he's 5-4 to 5-5. I don't know if he wears elevator shoes.

I would like to find a reason to, but I don’t think he has the charisma to beat Trump.
