Bloomberg is an opportunist, constantly probing for primary weaknesses he can exploit.

And once again, you were spectacularly wrong when you started this thread less than a month ago (which you gave a title of your own utterly inaccurate and completely wrong interpration of Bloomberg's positioning).

Bloomberg said he's for all practical purposes in the race after March if Sanders keeps pace.

You people never learn.

Bloomberg's gonna run indie!

Webb's gonna run indie!

Sanders is gonna run indie if he doesn't get the nomination! (hey, that's one fantasy I guess you can still cling to for awhile)

Nope.

"A source close to the former mayor has previously told CNN that Bloomberg would seriously consider entering the race if it appeared Donald Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz would face Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the general election."

Of course you can't point to anywhere I've even written anything of the kind.

No wonder people watch DWTS.

Intellectual stimulation compared to politics.

I started another thread not seeing this one. Bloomberg posted a statement on his own website stating that he couldn't take a chance on throwing the election to the Republican House of Representatives and possibly electing a Donald Trump.

Actually, what he said was that he didn't want to see a run by him to put Trump or Cruz in the WH--though I understand how the NYT singling out Trump makes it seem like there's some sort of anti-Trump bandwagon gaining steam.

I never thought he was going to run.

Politicians launch "trial balloons" all the time just to gauge the public reaction.

The old saying is: "Let's run it up the flag pole and see if anyone salutes it."
