Bloomberg considering run for president as a Democrat |
2018-06-27 |
![]() 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? |
