Bloomberg considering run for president as a Democrat
2018-06-27
[NYPost] Mike Bloomberg is mulling another run for president ‐ but as a Democrat, sources close to the former three-term mayor said.
No surprise there
If he takes the plunge, Bloomberg would be 78 when he's competing in Democratic primaries across the nation.

Last week, he said he would pump $80 million of his vast personal fortune to aid Democrats in the congressional midterm elections this year.

"That's an indication of where his head is at," a Bloomberg insider said Tuesday.

Bloomberg himself hinted at his thinking on June 6, when he was honored at a YMCA fundraiser at Cipriani 42nd Street.

At the end of his speech Bloomberg told the 500 guests, "Before you leave I want to get your cellphone number because I'm thinking of getting the band back together," said one source.

The well-heeled attendees erupted into thunderous applause, believing Bloomberg was telegraphing his interest in taking on President Donald Trump.
Please do. I would crawl across broken glass naked to vote against you, bitch

#6  We'll need a lot of Poll Watchers for the next few election cycles, I'm afraid.

Hijinks might prevail otherwise.

#5  This nanny is not all that well-liked. However, if he wants to blow millions or billions, that's OK with me. The guy is a control freak; guns, sugar...what else?

#3  ...Seeing as how he IS a Democrat, that makes perfect sense.
