Bloomberg Announces running like accepting the nomination. God cannot create a humble billionaire.

Bloomberg gives me the impression he is waiting for an expression of gratitude for him taking the nomination. He has already contradicted himself with the typical billionaire attitude that anything he does is a blessing. Here is a typical action of a billionaire taking action on his flock:

"On May 30, 2012, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the Portion Cap Rule, a proposed amendment to article 81 of the New York City Health Code, that would require "food service establishments" (FSEs) to cap at 16 ounces (475 mL) the size of cups and containers used to offer, provide and sell sugary beverages"

Whose decision is it to determine how people make it through the workday. The Extra large 44 ounce 79 cents for all sizes iced drinks are probably responsible for hydrating the labor class during hot summers.

The world would be far better off in outlawing the wine and cheese psychosis of formulating Democratic Strategy.

There are already enough people giving us the benefit of their existence in telling us how to live. What we need is somebody that wants to help us to live.

They had the camera following him as if his mere existence was newsworthy, breathless reporter saying over and over that he has entered he race.

Unbelievable. Pretty clear bias, in my opinion.

Things couldn't get any worse, or could they?

People couldn't vote for Hillary because <reasons>. Anyone better than Hillary, right?

Look where that got the good citizens of America!

I wonder if people of that persuasion still think the apricot hell-beast is a better alternative?

"Independents"? Sure. There were a lot of Obama voters who voted for trump because they didnt care for HRC. But a LOT of those voters are not going to vote for him in '20, according to the polls. And the '18 elections pretty much showed that as well.

has money?

Nice! But really, who cares?

What's his opinion on arms control, education, the environment, global warming? International diplomacy?

Or is it just . . . I has money, I has your vote, yes?

Sorry, no gratitude from me. Someone, tell him he is dreaming!

The embrace of Reagan era economic principles alone should be disqualifying.
