Michael Bloomberg presidential run?
- Thread starter Ace of Knights
- Start date
He would hurt the dems much more than the repubs but he is a none factor. His act does not resonate outside of NYC.
3 liberal progressives running. No matter who wins the country loses.
None factor? If the race comes down to Trump and Sanders or Cruz and Sanders, Bloomberg could do very well. He would appeal to moderates on both sides of the spectrum even if he does lean to the left. He would struggle against Hillary, but gain votes immediately for those who don't want to vote for the crazies leading the Reps. and the free money, free stuff socialist gaining ground with the Dems. If Hillary does get indicted, expect him to run.

He'd get absolutely no conservative or right-leaning support outside of the NYC area since he's waged war on 2nd Amendment rights and demonstrated his joy at installing Nanny State policies while in NY. He'd be viewed no differently than a Hillary Clinton.
He'd get little support from liberals, aside from his desire to strip the 2nd Amendment from the constitution, due to his "right leaning policies" and not being a left wing extremist like Sanders.
So who would vote for him?

85, I think you underestimate how many people are truly unhappy with the lists of candidates on both sides of the spectrum. Personally, I wish Rubio was polling better. But if it comes down to Trump or Cruz, I think more republicans would be willing to give Bloomberg a look than you think. Same goes for the Dems. Hillary is tainted and many will never vote for the extremist in Sanders.
I think this is a unique case where Bloomberg could come in as an independent and gain some serious traction. Especially if it comes down to Trump and Sanders.

Don't see it, I live in NY and Bloomberg would get stomped by Trump. He is a man without a country in this election. His ego is writing checks he can't cash.
No republicans outside of NYC would vote for Bloomberg. He is a liberal democrat.
Someone still lives in the "Republicans are conservative" fantasy land.
Very few republicans in NYC would vote for Bloomburg. Remember he had to run as an independent his last term.
