NOT and, bear in mind, NYers have 2x voted for term limits...Bloomberg made a deal with Christine Quinn, City Council Pres...and between them they overturned the vote so he could have a 3rd term...we don't need another cheater.

oh dear samnsara Jun 2018 #1

Well, another 4 years of tRUMP. Sigh. nt jrthin Jun 2018 #2

Why do you assume Bloomberg would win the nomination? brooklynite Jun 2018 #4

Why do you say that? Seriously your opinion please Thekaspervote Jun 2018 #6

It would be too easy for the GOPee to paint Bloomberg as an "elite, New York, out-of-touch liberal" sandensea Jun 2018 #15

Bloomberg will never get past the Big Gulp tax. House of Roberts Jun 2018 #16

Exactly. sandensea Jun 2018 #19

Here's an interesting thought. If you knew Trump was gonna win... WhoWoodaKnew Jun 2018 #5

That would be true of a rhesus monkey. cab67 Jun 2018 #22

This isn't an election. That's why it's an interesting thought. WhoWoodaKnew Jun 2018 #42

I tend to think Bloomberg would peal off some repubs for the Dems IMHO Thekaspervote Jun 2018 #8

And lose a yuuuuge chunk of the base. shanny Jun 2018 #45

He's already 76 years old. SansACause Jun 2018 #9

I think it is a bullshit story. A similar story appeared a few weeks ago, and a few days later still_one Jun 2018 #12

The story in the OP says he would run as a Dem if he runs. DanTex Jun 2018 #18

Thanks Dan, I obviously glossed over that, and mistakenly focused on the "previous independent run still_one Jun 2018 #20

I agree, I think he'd have a tough time getting the nomination. DanTex Jun 2018 #21

He had no constituency. A couple pundits. Who cares RelativelyJones Jun 2018 #13

this shanny Jun 2018 #46

Hopefully Bernie will do the right thing and not run as an independent. He knows what that will mean Thekaspervote Jun 2018 #14

what has he ever done that benefits the nation? making himself wealthier does not count nt msongs Jun 2018 #17

Kamala Harris will unite Obama and Hillary supporters and GOTV for us like no other candidate IMHO TeamPooka Jun 2018 #23

1. Get over it. 2. Is that why you voted against Obama? TeamPooka Jun 2018 #57

1- YOU get over it, 2. I did vote for Obama onetexan Jun 2018 #59

The reasons you gave applied to Obama too. Just want to know how far you will go TeamPooka Jun 2018 #60
