Would you Bloom for Michael?

Bloomberg is probably going to run. If he does, he has a decent chance to win big independent vote while also getting some of the moderate / mostly pragmatic vote in both parties.

As I've gathered, he will definitely run if Bernie Sanders wins the Dem nomination and Trump wins the GOP nomination. If Hildabeast wins the Dem nomination, I'm guessing he will still run.

What the USA needs is an intelligent / non messiah President with successful executive experience in both the private and public arenas. Bloomberg has both and negates Trump's wealth because he is also a billionaire.

Does anyone else seem him as potentially the prettiest girl in a room full of fuglies?

    Bloomberg is boring as fuck. And no hot wife.

    The world needs a Trump/Putin dick measuring contest.

    Unlike Obama, who has a fuller understanding of history and attempts to govern with according restraint,


    .....Bloomberg actually is on the authoritarian end of the liberal spectrum and has a long record of pushing for the sort of nanny-state regulations that this board claims to despise. So no, I would not be interested in voting for a "radical centrist" who would see his primary mandate as ceding economic control to the corporate sector, while at the same pushing a "progressive" agenda of restricting the size of sodas and places where you can smoke. He's the Epcot Centre of politicians.

    I don't disagree with you on Bloomberg, he has some pretty fucked up libtarded ideas. He is an ardent and faithful practitioner of the religion of anthropogenic global warming and is a huge supporter of nanny state polices. Describing him as a "radical centrist" is spot on, but Obama has used his magic phone and magic pen to become among the most authoritarian presidents we've endured.

    if trump wins the GOP nomination and there isn't a legitimate 3rd party candidate I would vote sanders, hope the GOP keeps control of congress, hope nothing happens and wait for 2020.

    Link: Obama unilaterally acts


    "..........Please don't complain later that you didn't see it coming. As always, Mr. Obama states publicly what his intentions are. He is doing that now. Toward the end of his speech last week in Jacksonville, Fla., he said: "So where I can act on my own, I'm going to act on my own. I won't wait for Congress." .....

    ........... The political left, historically inclined by ideological belief to public policy that is imposed rather than legislated, will support Mr. Obama's expansion of authority. The rest of us should not."

    That was written in 2013. Since then Obama has used his magic phone and magic pen over and over again to circumvent the legislative process and impose his policies. You like his policies, so you continue to lick his taint and gargle his semen, ignoring the inherent problem with a runaway president overstepping the boundaries of his authority. The left in general have no problem with this since it is their guy ramming his policies down the throats of the American People. However, the middle and right have issued their objections. Republicans have taken over both houses of congress in large part due to frustration amongst the voting population over your self appointed "king's" actions. We'll see how this plays out in 2016.

    For Bloomberg, isn't be the one that made a fine for a 32 ounce pop greater than a fine for an ounce of pot?

    This is the FS post of the year. I say some stupid shit, but I'm stringing someone along. You actually believe this. That the right wing would issue objections over bullshit their guy did. The right still says going into Iraq, tax cuts, sending checks to every taxpayer, etc. were the right things to do.

    And to the second bolded item. Gerrymandering is mostly why Congress is Republican. Like in 2012, more people voted for Democrats that Republicans in the house, yet the house ended up with more seats. Why is that?

    Broken windows had/has potential, but it wasn't the reason the homicide rate has been dropping since the early 90s, and at the expense of thousands of people's civil rights. It certainly isn't the liberal policy.
