"SNIP....

Mike Bloomberg filed federal papers Thursday declaring himself a Democratic candidate for president, a potentially disruptive move that could upend the party’s nomination fight this spring, the Washington Post reports.

“The filing, coming just eight months after Bloomberg ruled out a bid because he believed it would be too hard to win the Democratic nomination, reflects his view that the field of Democratic contenders was not well positioned to win next year and that a candidate with his experience, political moderation and deep pockets would have a better chance of defeating President Trump in a general election.”

1. Yawn

Another big ego with zero chance.

2. Too bad he won't just put his money where his mouth is and buy up

some RW media and turn them all into sports or cool jazz stations. Cancel the broadcast of every one of those right wing shows.

The best thing would be to give a substantial donation to eliminate the need for universities to use stations that feature RW shows to broadcast their major sports events. Buy up the commercial time and sub let it out to local progressive businesses and projects

3. Mayor Bloomberg : The 1% salute you

We really want a NY- based Billionaire ….There is a big difference between Don and Mike …..The former loves junk food while the latter would like to ban it ……..

4. I read that Tom Perez hasn't ruled out changing the rules

So that Bloomberg can be on the stage.

IMO that would be a huge mistake.
