Bloomberg 2016

[YankeeFan]

Will he run?

This could be really, really interesting.

Wall Street to the rescue!

 

[Michael_ Gee]

He might get two percent of the vote if he's lucky and runs a great campaign. If the advisers aren't just going to toady to the billionaire, they'll tell him to forget it.

It would be interesting, but I don't think he would do well.

He's not very charismatic. He's largely unknown to most people. He's 73-years-old.

And, as the Times points out, his anti-gun, pro-Wall St. positions will turn off voters on the left and the right.

Intelligence to the rescue

 

[cranberry]

He's a social liberal (pro-choice and extremely anti-gun) with some law-and-order instincts and pro-business mentality. He's also a thin-skinned elitest at times.

Trump. Hilary. Every Bush. Thin skinned.

I think he'd do quite well. And I think the GOP would waltz to the presidency.

 

[Vombatus]

Bloomberg vs Carson. Hopkins vs Hopkins.

Where do three mayoral terms rank on the entry-level scale?

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Where do three mayoral terms rank on the entry-level scale?

More importantly: What's his opinion on Lena Dunham?

I would say that Bloomberg has more experience than FDR did in 1932. More actual experience making decisions than Trump, Hillary, Cruz and Rubio

Trump doesn't have experience making decisions?

 

[Riptide]

​

That's a clever line -- or perhaps not -- but how much is David Corn worth, and how much of his money does he share?

 

[heyabbott]

Trump doesn't have experience making decisions?

He's a game show host. And he licenses his name to development companies and product manufacturers. Trump hasn't done real development in decades. And when he did he subbed everything out. His companies are shells

 

[heyabbott]

Jay Bilas should run for President, he's an arrogant self absorbed lawyer

It's better prep than being governor of Texas.

Would the NRA sign off on Bloomberg? You figure his gun position would rule him out of about 30 states right off the bat.
