I Like Mike but for SoS

As the tagline goes "With over 1700 reporters and analysts, in 120 countries, this is Bloomberg News".

People forget what a huge international player Mike Bloomberg is. Biden can talk about his relationships with world leaders, but Bloomberg can match him and is more current and wider spread.

In the jumble of Nation States, Corporate players ad Media that international relations is today there is probably no other person as well prepared. There is probably no other single individual that would be as reassuring to the world and the Foreign Service while at the same time announcing a break from the old ways as Bloomberg.

Repairing and rebuilding our standing in the world and the apparatus that supports that, will be as big a task for our next president as any. Having a man as capable of doing that and Mike Bloomberg should have him on all of our candidates short list for Secretary of State.
