You do realise that even if a repub had been in office, this would have happen.

I didn't know he was trying to reverse it. Aren't the people of NYC put off about it? He's been a Democrat, a Republican and an Independent. In my opinion he should run on the Opportunist ticket.

It was in our paper about a week or two ago under the News briefs that are listed daily. I thought it was pretty funny truthfully!!!

When Trump was considering running in 2000 he promised a constant rotation of First Ladies.

Add the Greens to the parties that Bloomberg has been associated with at one time or another.

In 2008 the Virginia Greens instead of listing Cynthia McKinney as their candidate as the Green Party elsewhere did listed a ticket of Ron Paul and Michael Bloomberg as their presidential and VP candidates, without the consent of either.

Plus, I would love to hear what the xenophobs will say about his (2 outta 3) non-American wives. And I would love to hear what the "fiscal responsibility" TPers would have to say about "The Donald"s multiple bankruptcies and shady business deals in Mexico, etc, etc.

(LOL....2012 is gonna be BIG FUN)
There wouldn't be any issues with his wives,most people realize they're typical trophy wives of the mega rich. Like Trump and Hefner would have women like this at that age if they were the average working stiff. In Hefner's case they should probably be considered nurses.

All I hear on the news is how great the economy in China is doing and how bad the unemployment is in the US.

Finally somebody is paying attention.
I couldn't agree with you more.

Oh, I dunno ... I think you'll find a large chunk of conservatives who are socially liberal but fiscally conservative who identify most with the Republican ticket because the left is off their rocker half the time.

I've said for years that we need a real business person who's not a career politician to run this country. And I'm glad The Donald finally began to take my phone calls.

I like what he has to say about China ... and N/S Korea.

But most of all, I like what he has to say about the political process - he doesn't mince words, because he doesn't have to. He worries about offending no one - and I like that.

Even though he identifies himself as a Republican, I think he's one of the few potential candidates that can transcend political parties. And while he could be the first Independent to win, in my heart I hope IF he runs, he runs as a R so not to split the votes, ala Perot.

This was actually, very funny!! I like Trump's economic knowledge. He knows how the people of China work, he understands we need to start creating products in America.

Most of all he thinks, this administration is not very bright, and knows this is how China. Hes ready to put China back in there place!!

I would vote for him, I have listened to him enough, he at least is concerned about America, more than President Obama.

All of the above make him exactly the opposite of the weak, incompetent,inexperienced egomaniac Obama and his legion of equally unqualified stooges.

I'd vote for him over Palin or Romney anyday. Just the fact that he's never been a politician (or lawyer) would be a breath of fresh air.
He may be just what this economy needs. He seems to understand the economy really well. I would vote for him over Palin or Romney anyday.

We need to elect someone who will do something about the bleeding of American jobs overseas. I am a little sick of hearing about how good the economy is in China and how hard working Americans can't find jobs. Well, China has a good number of our jobs. China needs to create its own jobs and stop taking ours.

Funny.. both these guys are about as far from Green Party material as one can get. Ron Paul..the Libertarian and Bloomberg..the uber-Capitalist.
