Is Bloomberg actually running for a cabinet position?

1. Who in their right mind would put that man in a position of power?

2. Biden might be open to it if he needed Bloomberg out of the race.

5. Sounds like shady BS. Hope Biden wouldn't do something like that.

3. Nah

He's running to piss Trump off. Maybe he wants Trump's head to literally explode.

He did not appear to be running for President

4. Is he also running to take out Bernie, knowing he's unelectable?

A thought I had today - his demeanor during the debates had an "I don't give a shit about this" quality, but he was jabbing Bernie hard.

7. Certainly a possibility in his mind

But his attacks on Sanders will only strengthen the resolve of Sanders supporters, and those who are on the fence aren't likely to like him enough to be swayed.

I don't see a Sanders/Bloomberg ticket, hahaha

9. I'm just thinking after percolating a bit that he doesn't want the nomination

He didn't seem to give a shit about anything, wasn't prepared to answer the attacks, and didn't seem to care that he was getting attacked that much. He did, however, have plenty of jabs against Sanders.
So is he clearing Sanders out and taking all the fire to let someone else (Warren? Biden?) come back to the front?
It's all very 12th-Dimensional-Chess, but it's what lack of sleep and overcaffienation does...

10. If so, he didn't use any of that supposedly damaging oppo he claimed to have

Why save it? I can see him going after Sanders, but he certainly didn't go at it as much as I would expect, if that was his main goal. Maybe saving it for pre-Super Tuesday debate next week?

12. Good point nt

11. I found one of the MSNBC omments interesting

That after beating the crap out of Bloomberg, during a commercial break, Warren and Bloomberg seemed to be having a somewhat pleasant chat without the stressed out body language seen during, say, the Warren /Sanders confrontation a few weeks ago.

6. I'm with you Bob.

Bloomberg wants Trump to be defeated.

His candidacy is just his way of helping a viable Democratic candidate to emerge.

Then he can spend great gobs of general election money through political action committees to elect the Democrat.

8. Seems that way
