His entrance into the 2016 presidential race has long been speculated about — but now it appears inevitable.
According to reports, billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is close to announcing his plans to mount an independent campaign for president.
And Bloomberg’s plans may reveal that he’s harboring serious doubts about whether Hillary Clinton can win her party’s nomination, let alone the presidency. Bloomberg’s bid may be a desperate bid to try to stave off candidates like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump who have thrown the 2016 race into chaos.
Bloomberg told The Financial Times on Monday — when he first publicly acknowledged his possible run — that he found the current presidential pool to be “an insult to the voters.”
But make no mistake about it — he’s not talking about Clinton.
Bloomberg’s fierce support for gun control has him squarely at odds with leading GOP candidates like Trump. And as an economic conservative, Bloomberg couldn’t be further from the Sanders camp.
But Bloomberg has expressed admiration for Clinton in the past, and the notion of him entering the race to derail her seems unlikely. Rather, he may view her campaign as dangerously on the ropes.
In a 2014 interview, Bloomberg actually encouraged Clinton to run for president, saying she would be a fantastic candidate for the Democrats. But after a too-close-for-comfort win in Iowa and an expected loss coming in New Hampshire, Clinton’s campaign has lost much of its shine.
Bloomberg’s aides floated the idea last month that the former mayor could fill a gap in the center of the political spectrum, and admitted that he is distressed by the rise of Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz among Republicans and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders among Democrats.
Bloomberg was a Democrat before becoming a Republican to run for mayor in 2001. He then became an independent.

He is on a war against gun ownership and against big soda drinks. Who does that appeal to? Just skinny liberals; the rest of us think he’s full of it.
Well, he’s already brought crime back to New York City…and trifling petty regulations…do we really want him further ruining the WHOLE COUNTRY!!!…not only no, but H-E-double toothpicks NO!!!
In my opinion, This guy hates guns , cops , soda and loves crime, thieves and murderers!
Thanks for you comment Vikki. live in New Jersey, detested the arrogant M. Bloomberg, his asinine war on BIG drinks and his stupidity regarding weapons. The Second Amendment is a birthright and so is our choice of drinks Donald Trump is a mite on the Brash and even crude side but Smart as all get out. I would love to see him pick Carly Fiorina as his running mate and tell the GOP and Reince Priebus to go to hell. Gender Bias has been a thorn in the side of the American Female since 1619 and needs to end. I am a 91 year old retired Army officer who would love to finally see a female in the Oval Office. Cruz and Rubio are both unqualified to serve as president; both are lawyers and should know the law, particularly Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
He is another Obamo he wants to keep Obamo’s plan of disarming the US in hopes the Isis and Islom can continue to take us over
Thanks Colonel Davis, well said. I, too, am 91 years old and retired Army CWO.
He is anti gun. Kick him to the curb!
Bloomberg will round out the “cue”. There is a homosexual muslim marxist as sitting president, now , there is old michael, a jewish homosexual athiest, marxist throwing his “yarkama” in the ring.
Old “kill’em Hillary, is a bellicose , failed lawyer, failed everything else,i.e. Benghazi murder. So , even the democrats just maybe waking up.
Lets hope the demos dont wake up and just away so someone else can win and return this country to some sort of normalcy .
Jer, you have some points, but you don’t know what you talking about.
You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about
I wouldn’t say she has failed at everything. She has gotten by not being prosecuted in several criminal activities. She did win at least one case as a lawyer. She destroyed the credibility of an under aged girl raped by a man, that had some kind of title. She got the man off the charge of rape and laughed how she ruined the girl. The girl has grown up and still has mental problems from the way Hillary lied about her. I now that it is a lawyer’s job to seek the best for her client, but she knew the guy was guilty and still did what she did, rather than turn his case down.
Think the pubic will look at Clinton with different view after her boss (Obama was caught doing the same thing w/ private e-mail, she was loyal to him not a squealer, s why blame her ??
Because the HILL-BILLY Team was grifting before Arrogant King Bo was born.
Bloomberg is not only anti 2’nd amendment, he is the billionaire funding the anti gunners and he is the poster child for that misguided unconstitutional policy.
Let him spend his billion to kick-start the economy.
obama bin laden/clinton Jr. this sas it all. IF,,,,,,, he dose enter into the race, this country is in DEEP S—. Dictatorship. Communism. Socialism. U name it, he will claim it. Being from NY and a clinton supporter, that adds insult to intelligence of the citizens of this ?nation.
I’m beginning to believe that we have little intelligence in America.
This country is in deep shit anyway, you dope.
He is a jerk he will only show how Stupid his is
boomberg has a low opinion of himself he likes Hillary……unbelievable
We need him for President as we need Hillary. You think Obama messed thing up put Bloomberg in their it will be messed up. Why can’t we get someone like Regan or JFK to run.
The closest think to that is Trump or Cruz. America has gone crazy if they don’t go for one of them. Voting democratic for president is an obamanation.
We do have someone like Reagan: Dr. Carson
I agree, Carson would make a excellent POTUS.
Bud, you are right about Dr. Carson….. But the media has done its best to screw up his campaign!! The debate last Saturday night did all but ignore him!! Screw ABC!!! He is the REAL conservative and the most brilliant of them all!!
I so agree with you Bud. If only the debate moderators will give him enough time to talk! He’s a brilliant man, has great ideas for this country and would be a great president!
You,ll never see a dem of the likes of Kennedy, He was the Reagan of the dems. That version of the donkies died with him. This version of the progessive movement is Marxist, and makes the Kennedy democrat look ultra conservative. You could reason with the democrat back then, now, they act like the problem is the” obstructionist Republicans. When in reality, it is they the Marxist, that are so extremely tyranticle, the only place for us as a nation to go should they rig the election is to anarchy. This my fellow patriots is the threshold upon which we stand should he not elect a constitutionalist, or God forbid, a progessive gets the rigged election win. Don,t think the election can be rigged? Think again. The Marxist known as Obama in Ohio received 110 percent of the vote. How can that number even be possible?. I,ve heard of 100 percent of the vote is in. Never until the tyrant dictator king known as Obama have I ever heard 110percent of the vote being cast.
We have Rubio and Cruze and others. We sit on the edge of disaster.
A Democrat then a Republican, then an Independent. I guess if he runs this time he’ll run as a Democrat again.
He’ll go whatever way the wind blows. I wish he would just blow away. In any event what makes him think he has enough clout to beat any of the Republicans running.
his money!
HE bought the Mayor of New York’s office for $80 MILLION so he’s more than willing to spend his money to win whatever he enters. If he runs as a Democrat, as he has 10 times (at least) Trump’s wealth and spends a paltry $500 Million, to taxi all those good little Welfare recipients, the normal dead voters from the cemetery like they do in Illinois, and promises a extra $1000 to every Minority voter who votes for him who do you think will win?
NO, HE WILL BE JUST TRYING TO CAUSE TROUBLE FOR trump IS ALL! Nothing but a rich troublemaker!
Exactly.
Another satanic lizard creature and NWO elitist, make no mistake about it!
Well, the sheeple are finally starting to figure out what I have been stating for years: we no longer have a free press but rather a state-run, fifth column propagandists that would put Pravda to shame AND BECAUSE WE NO LONGER HAVE A FREE PRESS WE ARE NO LONGER A FREE COUNTRY ! The sheeple just think so because they can still vote in sham elections, attend the Satanic “Stupor Bowl” and take legal drugs! R.I.P. USA, your ass has been had! We are no longer a nation ruled by law but rather a “Dick-taker-N-Thieve” and are witnessing a candidate that should either be behind bars or only running to the border to escape facing a firing squad, like her former pimp the Muslim-Marxist jihadist! Yes, most definitely there is a NWO conspiracy and it definitely is not a theory! Here are just two illustrations: A former 75 year old French Foriegn Legion hero is facing a year in prison for assisting in an “illegal” anti-immigration protest as he was manhandled by three or four NWO enforcers! How is it that the BLM and Muslims can protest but their is no free speech for those trying to preserve their country? How about Austria where a 10 year old boy was raped because the immigrant/terrorist had a “sexual emergency” that had to be gratified! This story was hushed and now the Satanic Left is ridiculing those on the side of justice and descency and calling them racists! Sheeple ha better get their heads out of their asses while they still have them as this mostly Islamic immigration ruse is being used by the NWO as the sledge hammer to break up the old in order to bring in the new, as in the NWO, one world religion ( State worship ) and one world currency as they are destroying world markets! REVOLUTION will be the SOLUTION, Armr===================================?, you will be needing them unless you don’t have a problem being slaves of the State and live a life of misery and squalor as the NWO elitists, our regime included, live the life of Kings – Obaa-baa-ma the Muslim-Marxist jihadist and Queens – the ole ugly commie whore Hillary the Pillory!
I agree with with everything you stated, the larger picture friend, lies in the articles heading. He has insider information, about the election, prolly insider information about stocks, you name it. Why are these insider elitists Marxist privy to information that involves all? Shows how stacked the cards are against we the people. This is your tyrannicle democracy Thomas Jefferson wrote about. “When you hear the word democracy, your living in tyranny. How many of your elected officials use the term democracy to describe our American government. They should all be hung for their traitorous deceit. They swore by Almight God to uphold our constitution. And swore to the ” republic for which it stands”. Hang the lying traitors that breath the word democracy
I agree with you. Who wants an independent that governs like a socialist! Anyone that wants to limit the size of your drink, or take salt off the tables in restaurants, and are against the 2nd amendment is clearly a socialist at the minimum. I bet the little Wessel don’t disarm his bodyguards though. He is just a rich smuck. He doesn’t care about the little guy like Donald Trump does. He needs to go home because he will get embarrassed for sure.
No kidding he dont like Trump, “Horn”! Tell us something we dont know and I’ll tell you something HORN dont know! Trump will prevail and squash bloomberg like an old pair of bloomers.
I sure hope you are right, we need Trump , he is our only answer, or we are done, I see from reading these comments we do have a lot of smart people, but what scares me to hear people say they are for Hillary , they have to know you get Hillary , you have another Obama , we can’t have another Democrat at all, can’t trust them, I am a Democrat, but I would never vote for one, they have changed sense Obama got in there, they are all crooks, we need Donald Trump to straighten things out, what is wrong with some of these people that can’t see what is going on, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what Obama is doing to us, what is wrong with some of these people, ? I just don’t get it, do any of you?
I totally agree !
Bloomberg another billionaire will not win the presidency…the citizens of this country KNOW the plutocrats want to continue controlling our lives…its why Sanders will win over all corporate dems and all the pukes.
Yeah that’s what we need..a socialist!!! Like we don’t have enough of the liar in chief already!!! Really??? Sanders will lose his azz off and for good reason. Sanders is off his rocker!!
I hate to say it Lori , we are already in a socialist state, when you add all taxes, income, payroll, social security, property, food, clothing, gas, goods in general(sales). The Marxist entitlement government, steals 75 cents on every dollar earned. This is the very essence of the totalitarian regime under the umbrella of socialism,communism, and fascism marxisum. All of these forms of totalitarianism enslave the people of a corrupt Government/society.
that’s right we don’t need any Democrat, we can’t trust them any of them, they are all crooked and certainly
not Bloomberg, please people think , we need our country back, don’t even think about the idiot
Bloomberg, we don’t need any more dictators, we need our country back, we see what bad is now, well we don’t know what bad is yet, we need to get rid of these jerks, we need Donald, and some one mentioned that it would be good for him to have Carly as vice president , doesn’t that sound good, she sounds like she knows what is going on, and how to fix it too, I think they would make a good pair, we need help guys, and if we don’t get it in this election ,,,, we are done, done,
AMEN! excuse my spelling errors. FED UP about this government and it’s liar at the HEAD OF THE SERPENT lucifer in Washington.
IF ANYONE RUNS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY , THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS RUNNING AT ALL… POLITICAL CAREERS AND POLITICAL FAVORS SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY RUN… THE COUNTRY, FIRST , LAST , AND ALWAYS… RUNNING FOR ANY OTHER REASON ? YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER TURN COAT/ TRAITOR…..
Well said. I intend to quote you.
I want to post your post on the wall in my cubicle. Outstanding.
Exactly!!! Great post Elinor Martinez!!
VERY WELL SAID, SHOULD BE THE THINKING OF ALL AMERICANS
Wow Elinor, that may be the first, real, honest comments I have heard in this election. What a positive, refreshing thought that maybe the best person for running our country should actually want what is best for the country, not what is best for their own pocketbook, not to destroy our country, not to commit as many crimes against our country as possible, but to actually work for our once great country and try to get it functioning again. I hope it is not too late.
Then vote for Trump. He wants what’s best for all Americans, and he has what it takes to accomplish that. He will have the best of the best working for him, and to the rest he will say, “You’re fired.” Go Trump.
Well said
That could not have been better said. Thank you.
That’s why we are voting for Trump
NO ONE PERSON CAN FIX OUR COUNTRY. IT WILL TAKE 3 GENERATIONS TO EVEN MAKE A DENT IN OUR STATE OF AFFAIRS. REMEMBER THE MAXIM, “FOLLOW THE MONEY!”
This elitist would be worse for our country than the present crop of rejects.
The Donald would be overjoyed!
Bloomberg would be better than anyone else that the Socialists (Democrats) have to offer but still not good enough. We need someone who going to rain in the federal government and deflate the bloated federal bureaucracy.
Donald Trump is the only real AMERICAN running for office, he cares deeply about America and Americans. He is putting the needs of Americans first, it would really be good to see a real American in DC instead of all those idiots who care more about illegals then they do about tax paying Americans. God bless you Donald Trump
Said like a true American patriot!!
Bloomberg would pardon Hillary would be his only reason for running and to stop Trump.. Trump makes other Nations fear and tremble
Exactly. That is why I am voting for Donald Trump. I want the evil regimes of this world to think that Trump will blow them to kingdom come.
Great said,bravo!!!!!!!
Yes Sandy I agree . THE DON isn’t running for the money either and he is a Reaganite and also Ben Carson is a REAGANITE.. . Marco Rubio is also right about Obama . We need to be praying much for the right guy to be our next president .
Donald Trump will have to learn to keep his mouth shut before I can vote for him. I just hope he knows other words than nasty, stupid, and etc. Are we going to let him buy the office? if so does that mean he can darn well do exactly what he wants to do? Hard questions. I don’t trust any of those running as Democrats and only a few who are Republicans.
There is still someone in control, that most people never give the slightest consideration to. People come and go, but He remains forever. There’s no point in mentioning who I’m referring to, this lost generation wouldn’t know who I was talking about anyway. One thing’s for certain, when the curtain descends, the record will clearly show the answer to Pilate’s question. It’s written in stone for every one of us.
Amen!!!
Bloomberg is more concerned about the size of your soft drink than he is of supporting and backing the NY Police Department and citizen’s safety.
NO on Bloomberg for President.
Don
Bloomberg will dictate what we are allowed to eat or drink. Horrible treatment of his police department. Public safety is presidents is number one job and he can’t even support his own policeman. Horrible.
Flipped flopped from one party to another – and wants to control more than any other reason ans particularly take away
everyone’s guns!! He is a real loser – very bad communication skills!!
He’s never been an honest Republican. He’s about telling people what to eat, how to eat and when. Salt, soda and other foods are now under “Government control” — treating the average person like a little baby whose life is under the control of “those who know better”. If he runs independent, he’ll take more votes from Democrats than Republicans.
He’s an independent..he’s not a republican. He once was many, many, many years ago ..then he was a democrat and now an independent. He’ll never win anyways.
Maybe Bloomberg figures the witch will rightly be charged with some of her many crimes.
The present crop of candidates are not rejects. There are some fine men and women in that crop you insulted as rejects. Trere is not a single candidate in the republican ranks that wouldn’t be a better President than Hillary or berney.
That was very well said and I agree with you.
Bloomberg needs to save his money. We do not need another anti-gun alarmist, another president that feels he is all might on dietary issues such as salt, sugar, and colas. And people object to Trump because of his “is he or isn’t he” change of parties when Bloomberg can’t seem to make up his mine either. We don’t need another president that is politically correct and wants to run a nanny government.
People like burning because they perceive him to be at least honest…you might take some of his policies are crazy but you believe what he says and does make good points about where campaign funding should come from…Trump Has no filter…makes you wonder what he would say as the president of our country…Carly or Carson would be my choices But probably have no chance at being nominated. I think we need to shake up Washington…billionaires certainly know how to make money for themselves….You have to like the fact the Trump is getting no money from big special interests…YouI have to like the fact that his campaigns not costing them nearly as much as everybody else’s that are big players for the nomination..The truth is we had eight years of Bush and eight years Obama an hour $20 trillion in debt…maybe we do need somebody that is offensive because a job has been done his last 16 years is very offensive to me…
I like Carson as VP but I don’t like what I’ve read about that friend of his trying to run his campaign. Several people quit because of him. I’ve read that he’s affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Muslims –Done with that! I don’t know if that info is true but check it out yourself. However, I do think that Carson would be an excellent person for many of the health issues in the U.S.
This is SO disappointing! I thought better of Bloomberg. Clearly I was wrong!!
Bloomberg would certainly fit the moldy mold of being a “centrist” — having been Democrat, Republican, and Independent AND being a so-called economic conservative who’s for gun control!!! I wonder how many illegals he would let stay in NYC and the USA — and how many more he would welcome!
America does NOT need Michael Bloomberg, but he would probably make the presidential race more interesting — certainly more complicated. Trump could — and should — easily trump both him and Clinton or Sanders.
He is what is wrong with our country, billionaire with mafia habits!!
Sorry Sonia but that is an insult to the mafia. LOL The mafia dose not want to disarm law abiding citizens nor do they want to control what or how much you eat or drink. EVEN THE MOFIA WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM.
Bloomberg is out to lunch on an extended stay. He spends millions on gun control and is an open border man. His soda and salt ban he tried in NYC carries the nanny state to a new level. We need less gov and someone interested in jobs, the border, Isis and lifting the regulations killing jobs. Someone to repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump 2016
Bloomberg is a rag BUT he will give the presidency to Donald
Bloomberg is a dangerous liberal/progressive who feels that only he knows what is best for everyone. His support for Democrats and hillery show his true colors.
Why would anyone vote for any person that is not a follower of the constitution, Something that our founding Fathers
with more intelligence and courage than todays political hacks who lie for their political party, and not think about what is best for the country and treat us like we are no thinking fools, vote for these fools. The Constitution was put in place by the founding fathers to protect all our freedoms from these power grabing fools, who do not respect our past sacrifices or future of our children and grandchildren !
I agree wholeheartedly with this article. Bloomberg is a Democrat at heart.
I am very happy with our Republican candidate’s and although I don’t agree with Sanders on his agenda I believe that he is smart, sincere and honest and that is a lot more than I could ever say for any Clinton. I like Ben Carson but if he would even make it for VP I would be happy as he is smart, honest, sincere and has the best interest of the country in view.
THIS GUY SEEMS TO THINK THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP US IN A PLACE THEY WANT US TO BE IS BY TAKING AWAY WHAT IS OUR RIGHT TO OWN, AND OUR RIGHT TO MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS.
WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO IF HE WAS TO WIN? MY GUESS IS MAKE HILLARY VICE PRESIDENT THEN IN SOME WAY TURN IT ALL OVER TO HER BECAUSE HE DOSE NOT WANT THE JOB.
Just what we need another rich elitist hungering for power. We the people are truely screwed.
Another delusional dork no one will vote for this jerkoff
This would be the worse possible nightmare for America. There would be a revolution in a matter of months. No one is going to vote for him, but God forbid he “Bought” himself n election, it would be like living in Germany during Hitler’s time. You’re neighbors would be spying on each other to get preferential treatment, and perhaps a bottle of Coke. Drugs that are needed by many disabled people in order to function,, would be cut off, their rights would be re-interpreted according to this Napoleonic monsters agenda. We would never get back to the America that Obama has wounded.
Someone needs to whisper in his ear, even if he took away all guns, “which he would do immediately” he would be removed in a short time. This is definitely not the answer to our problems, he is a hated man.
These liberals just amaze me.Dont want to fight for their country,but have no problem trying to run it.O bam-bam worried more about how many aliens he can squeze in the country,before retirement and write checks this country cant cash,instead of taking care of our warriors and homeless who have earned the right to be here.He can keep blaming G-Bush all he wants for everything,but no one respects him in or out of this country anymore. Now old B wants to take bams place so he can tell you what to eat or drink or when you can scratch.PEOPLE you d better smell the last of the flowers while you can,before the weeds take it all over.
Vote for Bloomberg and kiss your guns goodbye.
YAAAAY. Now I don’t have to abstsin from voting when Monsanto’s whore gets the Dem nomination
Hello folk’s! Do you want to [“Make America Great Again”] ? Here is the simplest way to get rid of all of these loser’s running and get the greatest leader this country will ever have. Just vote TRUMP! TRUMP IS FAIR AND HE IS TOUGH! I want the toughest guy out there to kick ass around the world. We are in a very dangerous world today, Thank You porch monkey, coward, Muslim president! There are no word’s to describe my disgust for you!
Blooming-idiot-berg! Just try and run. The American people will run you out of town on a rail, tared and feathered and take muzybama with you. WHAT A JERK. vote TRUMP everybody, and” LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”. Bloom-idiot-berg will be caught-up in the waves of WETBACK’s and MUSLIMS running for the southern boarder. Let’s do it America! TRUMP.
Republicans, Democrats, Independents, what’s the difference? They are all the same. Socialists at one end of the spectrum and profane, foaming at the mouth jingoistic, gun totters at the other end. Perfect ingredients for another Civil War. Secular humanists populate the camps of every party. The United States is the most decadent, materialistic, Godless nation on Earrth. Abortion, drugs, porn, sodomy, every form of immorality imaginable is disseminated from America to the rest of the world.. This is our legacy and our “exceptionalism”. We glory in our good deeds, but our good deeds are like filthy rags. We blame everything on Obama, but, as bad as he is, he is merely the symptom, not the cause. Who put him in office? Yes, the American voters, not once, but twice! More than 50 million dead babies and now even their body parts are desecrated. America is a poor student of history, but why not, the revisionists have made certain that our children are fed lies. America, the sign of Jonah declares your guilt. While Nineveh repented, you have stored up wrath against yourself. The first time came the flood, this time it will be fire. God help us all.
BLOOMBERG is pure SLIME & a ANTI GUNNER, and RIGHT NEXT TO HILLARY in THE LIAR department.surely this NATION can do better than this garbage.
After .?i hope , Trump is elected we should all band together and ,work to clean the house ,and senate ,all of your local senators and representatives are there for one reason lining the pockets you may think they, are there helping you that is a lot of BS take my beautiful little state The smallest one in the union that is, Rhode Island we may be the smallest state in the union we have more illegals voting and then we have regular votes registered ,you know in Rhode Island all you have to do is present A picture that a bunch of crap ,and you can vote yes providences a sanctuary city hopefully that will end with our new president ? When they cut off federal funding again I hope ,!
They will also end with federal funding to all of the states that have sanctuary cities that’s your problem stop and think of it our representatives are in bed with Obama also yes our senator , and representative were elected with a legal vots because the districts they represent our 85% illegal aliens as far as I’m concerned
If you really want to puke, try living here for one for very short time I’m out as soon as possible Oh have a nice day
Bloomnuts also surrounds himself with criminals such as Gordon Jenkins and Ray Nagin that were in his little group that wants criminals to have control and leave law abiding citizens defenseless. Both of these ‘former’ employees were sentenced to prison for corruption and fraud. He also carries a pistol himself. I guess being a liberal elite makes it okay for him but not for anyone else. After all his life must be more important than ours. Let’s hope this out of touch billionaire follows his criminal buddies to prison soon.
I think ole Bloomberg plans to do what Trump plans to do. like Trump agreed to run REP and now they betray him..so if Trump runs INDEP..he can take all of Dem and Rep and the money and win. yet I know Donald is not stupid and when he is betrayed, he is ahead of the game :)..and those who are still blind to the evil of cruz and rubio. one article on WND.com has a good one on Rubio. there are eight lap dogs and some trained to work together, Cruz, Rubio, Bush and Hasich. some are out of the picture. I don’t forget that McCAin set up the p 5 for obama and we got war..just as obama wants..there are many more who sold their soul for money and are turncoats..GO TRUMP
An “insult to the voters”???
The blooming idiot must have been looking in the mirror when he made that quip.
Oh, how I hope he runs, that will finish off the Democrats.
It amazes me that young children can recognize a “BULLY” amongst them and we supposedly as mature young and old adults cannot distinguish and recognize that in our presence lives the “BIGGEST BULLY” of all times. It is my belief that DONALD TRUMP has only shown a trifling amount of the bullying he is capable of.
At the end of this ludicrous election period, America will get the exact leader it deserves. The system is sick so it matters not who is leading it. Neither Trump, nor Cruz, nor Hillary nor Bernie can change the system. Obama tried, but look what it got him….nowhere! And so many of you label him as the worst President ever!! But Americans amazingly have the shortest memories, coupled with a very limited, and extremely biased, knowledge base. You will get the President you deserve. Sadly.
What moderation???:
exactly the reasons for my comments!! Good day.
Bloomberg is pompous blowhard that thinks Government should dictate everything. He should take his money including all that is off shore and go to another country. Even if he were to enter, Bernie Sanders will beat him. And that is from a Republican Retired Marine.
that he found the current presidential pool to be “an insult to the voters.”
well if this is not proof that Hilla is a wall street puppet then you are either dumb or evil. the arrogance to state that he knows what we want, didn’t Hitler do that. They, the money changers are afraid of losing control over government and will to spend a billion or more to retain control. They stopped Ross Perot we have another chance to take back America. Bloomberg wins with the help of people likes Gates dictatorship is around the corner. They will draft for the IDF
American people better wake up – Stalin is laughing
Trump you are the best. Knock everyone else out
I hope he does get in the race. One more nut case will just cause confusion and chaos to my enemies, i.e. all democrats, socialists, commies, muslims, etc.
I think it is hilarious that he thinks that being a billionaire is sufficient to bulldoze his way into the White House.
He must have made most of that money well before losing his sick mind.
That’s all we need is another bragging billionaire, the election is a joke ever since Trump decided it was time for him to run. Who can stand the way he trashes everyone and the words that come out of his mouth, we already have a bully running our country.
I agree with most comments. He would be terrible for our Country and I am an Independent.
Bloomberg has a point re at least some of other potential candidates.One thing he overlooks is the following. He is no bargain either.
He’s a big crock like the rest of them where do you think he got all that money from his father he stole it From people like us Bloomberg doesn’t want trump to shake up Wall Street
Bobby
So, bloomberg thinks his poop don’t stink and he can just walk in and start running for president like he is something special and everyone will bow to him…..I don’t think so, sit down bloomberg you don’t have anything to offer at this late date. Trump will be our president 2016
Bloomberg and his front organization Mom’s Against Guns or whatever, have gotten severely beaten in almost every state they tried to push their anti gun agenda. The guy has spent millions and accomplished nothing. (Which is good by the way)
Can you image a person like him saying it is an embarrassment for Sanders and Trump to run for office. If he enters the race he will be severely embarrassed by how few votes he gets and how he takes votes away from our Criminal of State, Hillary.
Oh yeah! That’s what we need! No more Big Gulps for anyone, anywhere! No weapons for anyone (unless you are a crook!) Another narcissist who thinks that the good fortune to have been able to amass an obscene amount of wealth makes him the smartest person in the room and, therefore, the ONLY one qualified to occupy the office of someone able to tell everyone else what to do, when they should do it and whom they should do it with! NOT!
I hope he will take votes from Trump, H Clinton and Berney Sanders. Except for BS they are liars on purpose like Obama. Don’t like any of their likely presidency outcomes. I won’t vote for him either. Ben Carson for president 2016!
another insane democratic New Yorker OMG just what the nation DOESN’T need. We need the one New Yorker who is sane and is FOR the country and not against it!
So apparently Bloomberg doesn’t think he is establishment and want to jump into a campaign where America is clearly showing they are fed up with the establishment and business as usual. It will make him the biggest reminder of the establishment to the voters. Somebody needs to explain to him about the only thing he will do is nothing more then an alternate for Hillary. With as loyal as the voters are to Trump and Sanders in their respective parties the most he will do is suck up what ever dems get fed up with or loose faith in Hillary. With the email scandal, now new super PAC of slick willies escapade victims, also in light of Hillary getting defensive of inquiries of her bank and wall street supporters. He will also demonstrate to the new dem voters they don’t need to be loyal to their party and will show a split. If Bloomberg wants to waste his money please by all means do …he’ll find out this time most Americans are not supporting those that have to buy votes and are making the candidates earn their vote.
Doomberg, another idiot savant minus the savant!
He would be taxed to death if sanders wins!!
An ass hole with to mutch money
I wouldn’t object to a fool like Doomberg running for president. I can’t think of any sane person that would vote for him, so that makes it extremely unlikely that he would win. However, it does make it extremely unlikely that any Democrat would be able to win, either.
I can only conclude that he wants to see Ted Cruz as president this time next year.
Well, i admit i didn’t know much about Bloomberg before reading the comments; now i agree with those who hate him, and their reasons for so doing.
There’s a VERY old saying, from back in the days of the Greek culture, iirc; it goes something like this:
“Republics degenerate into democracies; democracies degenerate into tyrannies.”
Too many fools have embraced “democracy,” and so:
“If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of the public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.”
—Benjamin Disraeli
The boy was a prophet, right?
Can Americans avoid naked tyranny? Probably not. It’s very likely to come, however, and whether it’s Trump or Bloomerscity, or a D’ohbama who declares “an emergency” so that there IS no election, based on the weight of historical cycles, a tyranny is certain to come. Then, perhaps, the cycle can start over, to wit:
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependency back again into bondage.”
— Fraser Tyler, English historian
And on top of all this, who is aware that the Communists ALWAYS promote democracy as a necessary first step toward the Socialist takeover? Then, when they DO take over, millions always die – and funnily enough, it is those who promoted the Socialist schemes whose heads first go on the chopping block, too! i guess that the commies figure if the socialists were willing to betray their country for the socialist dream, they’d be the first to complain about the socialist REALITY, too!
What i’m saying is that it may already be too late to stop a tyrant(or group thereof) from taking over, but once he does/they do, Fraser Tyler’s cycle is likely to start over again.
i think that most Americans are completely unaware that they’re ALREADY IN BONDAGE, and have been for quite some time. ever since the imposition of the Birth Certificate in 1920. It’s just an economic bondage mainly due to the well-promoted ignorant acceptance of paper AS money, instead of what it REALLY is, dollar BILLS, that is, promises to pay dollars – a true dollar being one ounce of silver with specific percentages of other metals to promote longevity – that are complete lies.
“This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.”
― Robert H. Hemphill (Credit Manager of Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta, Ga.)
Can you find out what year he said this? It will be instructive…
“When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed (Reserve) to conceal its powers but the truth is — THE FED HAS USURPED THE GOVERNMENT!”
― Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of House Comm. on Banking and Currency from 1920 to 1931 (Shadows of Power, pg. 23
Unless and until people awaken to the fact that they are slaves – and further, are willing to make the sacrifices needed to become free again – tyranny will simply continue and get worse…that is to say, be more nakedly revealed.
“The present Federal Reserve System is a flagrant case of the Government’s conferring a special privilege upon bankers. The Government hands to the banks its credit, at virtually no cost to the banks, to be loaned out by the bankers for their own private profit. Still worse, however, is the fact that it gives the bankers practically complete control of the amount of money that shall be in circulation. Not one dollar of these Federal Reserve notes gets into circulation and without someone paying interest to some bank to keep it in circulation. Our present money system is a debt of money system. Before a dollar can circulate, a debt must be created. Such a system assumes that you can borrow yourself out of debt.”
― Willis A. Overholser, LL.B – in History of Money in the United States.
“The whole profit of the issuance of money has provided the capital of the great banking business as it exists today. Starting with nothing whatever of their own, they have got the whole world into their debt irredeemably, by a trick. This money comes into existence every time the banks ‘lend’ and disappears every time the debt is repaid to them. So that if industry tries to repay, the money of the nation disappears. This is what makes prosperity so ‘dangerous’ as it destroys money just when it is most needed and precipitates a slump. There is nothing left now for us but to get ever deeper and deeper into debt to the banking system in order to provide the increasing amounts of money the nation requires for its expansion and growth. An honest money system is the only alternative.”
— Frederick Soddy(1877-1956) British author, professor, Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 1921
The following statements were made during hearings of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, September 30, 1941. Members of the Federal Reserve Board call themselves “Governors.” Governor Marriner Eccles was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board at the time of these hearings:
Congressman Patman: “How did you get the money to buy those two billion dollars worth of Government securities in 1933?”
Governor Eccles: “Out of the right to issue credit money.”
Patman: “And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our Government’s credit?”
Eccles: “That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn’t be any money.”
Congressman Fletcher: “Chairman Eccles, when do you think there is a possibility of returning to a free and open market, instead of this pegged and artificially controlled financial market we now have?”
Governor Eccles: “Never, not in your lifetime or mine.”
— Marriner Stoddard Eccles(1890-1977) US banker, economist, and Chairman of the Federal Reserve (1934-48)

Hopefully, i have done my bit to wake a few of you people up to Realpolitik. Any questions?
I believe that Bloomberg is AFRAID to see TRUMP WIN!
