If Bloomberg enters the race as an Independent, he will steal votes away from Hillary. Nobody likes Hillary. Hillary must be praying Bloomberg doesn't enter. Lol
I read that he wouldn't run if Hillary was the nominee. As the onest of the 1 percent, he wouldn't be a fan of Sander's agenda.
It's being reported he would run only if it's Sanders vs Trump/Cruz. I honestly wouldn't blame him. He would have appeal to voters on both sides, and then he'd grab a lot of the people in the middle who are likely not sold on either side. Outside of NYC, he has a good reputation. I think people would buy in.

Great way to potentially end up with a President Trump. Bloomberg is quite a guy.
Hearing about crap like the Soda ban would REALLY rile up republicans. Would not be good for the democratic party.
I think gun control and immigration would be more of a problem with republicans. Minority democratic voters wouldn't be too happy about stop and frisk going national.
I think he's more scared of sanders winning the party nomination. Sanders would be bad for business.
One thing is that the rich and wealthy are divided between liberal elitist vs the business savvy conservative types. Liberal elitist don't want to see Trump, but also don't want to see an ultra progressive Bernie Sanders either. Looks like thier hope falls in line with Bloomberg.

Bloomberg isn't winning this election.
I don't recall anyone going from mayor to President just like that. Bloomberg has not won a statewide election in New York, and it remains to be seen if he could.
Bloomberg completely screwed over NYC's Republicans so bad of all people de Blasio became mayor.
And that wasn't his concern. He doesn't like Bernie Sanders, and he doesn't like the platform Trump is running on. He said he would consider a RUN if HILLARY doesn't win the nomination.
NYC mayors never go anywhere politically after they are finished being mayor. Bloomberg's bid for President would end up in the same place as Giuliani's bid for President.
Bloomberg can easily dethrone Sanders and Hillary in a national stage. What Trump has shown is that the people want institution candidates out. Bush, Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, all have fund raisers where folks like you and me can't even afford to get a seat at these events. Big donors from the tech, financials, and legal who's who are all there to line up there pockets so they can get their favors done before everything else.
Trump himself has admitted to being one of those big donors who gave money to politicians. He is an insider and was always politically connected.
As for what do I think of Bloomberg's candidacy? I'd would vote for TRUMP before I vote for Bloomberg.
I'm a Democrat and my favorite candidate is Hillary Clinton. But I've had enough Bloomberg fatigue. The man is over politically and has no base of support from either the national Democrats or the Republicans. To be completely honest he isn't taking votes away from either party at this point. He'd be torn apart if he runs for office.
