Mike Bloomberg 'is considering picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate"

[former9thward]

Mike Bloomberg is considering making Hillary Clinton his running mate, a source close to his campaign has told Drudge Report.

Polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force to take on Trump in the race for the White House, the source said.

Former New York City Mayor and Democratic candidate Bloomberg is said to be considering even changing his official residence from New York to Colorado or Florida - where he also has homes - because the electoral college makes it difficult for US president and vice-president to reside in the same state.

Under the Twelfth Amendment to the US Constitution, which provides the procedure for electing the president and vice-president, it states that the two people could not both inhabit the same state as the elector.

1. The Drudge Report??? WTF? why are you posting this here?

(not that the Daily Mail itself is much better, but it is sometimes tolerated here ... but the Daily Mail reporting from Drudge? Yikes.)

[former9thward]

4. The Daily Mail reached out to the Bloomberg campaign.

They would not confirm or deny the report.

[MFM008]

22. Daily mail

Is a drudge report.

[cwydro]

13. Another poster, who apparently is a Drudge fan too, already posted this same lame story.

I remember when right wing publications were not cited on DU.

Ah, the good old days...

[Squinch]

2. Is this the 9th or 10th time this has been posted. It's from a Drudge report. If it isn't

just made up, its probably something thrown out by the psychiatrist who Bloomberg hired to mess with Filthy Donnie's mind.

[Kingofalldems]

3. Not a good try there.

[OliverQ]

5. No he's not.

Can we stop spreading right-wing talking points? This nonsense was literally created by the Drudge Report this morning and MSNBC was stupid enough to go with it.

Bloomberg can't pick Hillary. The President and VP can't be from the same state.

[former9thward]

6. The story said Bloomberg was considering moving to Colorado or Florida.

He has homes there. Now MSNBC is putting out "right wing talking points"? Wow...

[OliverQ]

11. Yes, MSNBC does that a lot.

This was literally created by Drudge report.

[thesquanderer]

21. The Clintons also have at least one home outside of NY. (n/t)

[comradebillyboy]

7. Hillary must be thrilled

[left-of-center2012]

8. Horse pucky

A BS story, no doubt

[Zolorp]

9. I'm pretty sure this is being put out there to get inside Trump's head.

It's pretty fucking hilarious.

[Journeyman]

12. Yeah. This is trolling on a billionaire's level . . .

Well above the Dotard's wallet, somewhere smack in the middle of his "gut."

[MontanaMama]

10. If this is true...

and I don’t think it is...who cares if Bloomberg is considering HRC. The question should be would HRC consider running with him and I would bet that is a big fat NO.

[Dem4Life1102]

14. Unconstitutional

Both are New York residents.

[former9thward]

18. The story said Bloomberg was considering moving to Colorado or Florida.

He has homes there.

[BlueJac]

15. Bad idea in my book

[calguy]

16. The right wing propaganda machine is already cranking out disinformation

This piece might have even come from russian sources.

[Celerity]

25. or it might be Bloomberg planted psy-ops to fuck with the orange bloat's pea brain

we will never know more than likely

[andym]

17. Bloomberg does respect the Clintons

and is on friendly terms with them. Still, this story is not likely to be true.

[Skya Rhen]

19. Hillary is not shy to jump into the fray - her name has been invoked and I await her response.

[Faux pas]

20. I can't say what

I'm thinking. That is all.

[W_HAMILTON]

23. Hillary is the only person that would immediately have my vote.

I have vacillated between several different candidates over the course of this nomination, but Hillary is head and shoulders above the rest of the candidates currently running. We let her down in 2016 and our country has suffered dearly for it.

PS - Fuck anyone that didn't vote for her in the presidential election.

[Buckeyeblue]

24. It would be more fun if he made her his attorney general

Let her prosecute the Trump family/friends one by one.

[emmaverybo]

27. The thought of Bloomberg having anything to do with a criminal justice system sickens me. He

won’t do jack to Trump. Unless Republican friends want him to.

[Thomas Hurt]

26. That is a great big FU to Trump. If it is true that is.

Can you imagine the christofascists frothing at the mouth and investigating her every move...

[Laelth]

28. Silly rumor. n/t
