[MMC]

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is reportedly planning to run for president in 2020 as a Democrat, setting up the potential for a billionaire-on-billionaire showdown.

Mr. Bloomberg, who mulled presidential runs in 2008, 2012 and 2016, has told confidants that he plans to challenge President Trump’s re-election bid, according to a Thursday report in the Times of London.....snip~

Yep, Bloomberg will challenge Trump in 2020 for the Democrats. He will run as a Democrat. He is their only chance at winning. No other Demos will be able to compete against him. Kamala Harris or Booker Sparticus will not like that. Nor will Eric Holder and Terry McAullife.

Look who intro'd him.....That's Right Nancy Pelosi. Demo Establishment has found their candidate. What say ye?

[suds00]

we are going to have a lot of people in their late 70's running.it's supposed to be a rigorous job

[The Xl]

Lmao oh God. I hate that smug dip$#@!. He tried to ban certain soda sizes over here. Idiot.

[IMPress Polly]

Yeah, that sounds about right. Sounds like exactly the kind of thing the Democratic Party would do: learn from the Republicans and nominate a pseudo-populist billionaire.

I've suspected that Joe Biden would be the most likely Democratic nominee this time around, but yeah, Bloomberg probably has a chance. Why not? I've heard the CEO of Starbucks is weighing a Democratic run as well.

Honestly, I'm not even sure I'm going to vote in 2020. I mean I'll vote in the Democratic primaries, but if my only real alternative to Trump in the presidential election itself turns out to be someone like Biden or *shudders* Bloomberg...I dunno. Both of those actually like kind of a step backward compared to Hillary Clinton for me. I'm not about to vote for some "law-and-order", anti-BLM, billionaire neoliberal gentrification candidate or some anti-abortion, TPP-hawking servant of the financial aristocracy (oh, who also headed up the Anita Hill show trial!) just because he "sounds Midwestern" (the big argument in Biden's defense). I see little evidence of the Democratic Party being willing to move in a more left direction beyond selected individual House districts.

There goes John Kerry's chance. He wont be jumping in.

If you think Trump is smug and arrogant, wait until you get a dose of this asshat.

It doesn't matter, Polly. We aren't in need of your kind of loon for President. One was enough.

It will be fun to watch Bloomberg take down the Demos that run against him. Sparticus Booker will be given the Thumbs down.

Thats what Pence will say when he takes the reins prior to the 2020 election.

NGH ! Not gonna happen.

He is from New York, and way to liberal. Hillary Clinton did not succeed, neither will Bloomberg. I don't believe he would make it past the primaries.



"3) He's very proactive on guns: Bloomberg has broken with Republican allies in a big way when it comes to the issue of guns. During his time as NYC mayor (he co-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which later became Everytown for Gun Safety) and even after he left office he has campaigned aggressively in favor of stricter gun control laws and has financed ads shaming his fellow politicians for stonewalling on the subject."

"Bloomberg's name was floated as a possible candidate, and he certainly took steps to weigh his chances. Each time, demographic challenges squandered his hopes and Barack Obama emerged triumphant."

"Allegations of a bought election have dogged Bloomberg ever since."

"9) He has clashed with labor unions: "
