TALK’S CHEAP: Bloomberg bloviates to “buy” relevance, not out of any serious intentions of running for President

Michael Bloomberg continues to make noises about running for president as an Independent.  He says he’s willing to spend up to a billion dollars on a campaign.  God bless him!

Well, buddy, talk’s cheap.  Let’s get it on!

First off, Bloomberg’s $50 million per year donations to his Everytown for Gun Control family of groups (to include the Moms Demand Action girls and their “modern man” spouses) has yielded precious little except embarrassment for the big-city billionaire.  If the quality of people Bloomberg hires for $50 million a year to promote gun control are any indicator, then twenty times that incompetence would buy chuckles and giggles, but little more than a lot more digital and dead tree ink from the Left.

Secondly, what’s Bloomberg’s base?  It would be nanny-state advocates, by and large.  Who would that draw from?  Let me give you a clue: it won’t be the Republicans and it surely won’t be conservatives.

Frankly, it would guarantee the Republicans the election, and Bloomberg certainly doesn’t want to see that.

Not that the presumed Republican nominee Donald Trump will need any help beating the presumed Democrat nominee, and Future Felon of America, Hillary Clinton.

No, this whole exercise is Bloomberg bloviating to buy “relevance”.

It’s surprising someone hasn’t called out Michael Bloomberg on his bee-ess talk.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is taking a look at the 2016 presidential landscape, and putting the pieces in place for a possible presidential run, sources close to Bloomberg said.

“What he said is if I didn’t get the nomination he might consider it,” Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said. “Well I’m gonna relieve him of that and get the nomination so he doesn’t have to.”

But Clinton may have it wrong, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported. Sources close to Bloomberg told Kramer the former mayor is ramping up a possible presidential run regardless of who gets the Democratic nomination, eyeing an Independent third-party bid.

“I would love to have Michael get in the race — I don’t know if he’s going to do it — but I hope he does,” GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said. “I’d love to compete against Michael.”
