New York – Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he is considering mounting an independent campaign for president.

Bloomberg told The Financial Times on Monday that he was “looking at all the options” when it comes to a bid.
The billionaire businessman said he found the current campaign to be “an insult to the voters.”
It’s the first time he acknowledged a possible run.
Bloomberg’s aides floated the idea last month that the former mayor could fill a gap in the center of the political spectrum.
He is distressed by the rise of Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz among Republicans and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders among Democrats.
Bloomberg was a Democrat before becoming a Republican to run for mayor in 2001. He then became an independent.
will this arrongant gun protected gun control hypocrite put traffic islands to block traffic all over the US or make meters 15 minutes as well. We don’t need this self-hating Jew who was married to a non-Jewess.
Can he win as independent? Or is he pulling the victory from Hillary? Good news either way
Go Bloomberg Go! You can take my guns as long as you keep your hands of my wallet I am cool. I don’t trust Trump or sanders.
Mr. Mayor- guess what? A lot of us will be distressed ….actually very distressed by the rise of Michael Bloomberg.
NUMBER ONE….
Although i dont either like him/personality or so..whatever he did though in Manhattan Brooklyn… was good…today’s date without his traffic changes.. u would never make thru mnhtn with a car u would be stuck by the first light for tens of rounds until that car turns.. witch he made lawful shouldn’t be able to turn & so on….
Another billionaire self interested business guy not representing YOU. Which of his ten homes are his voting district? Which one of his China deals hurts your family? So he ran for a third term in NYC despite the existing law. Bad news for all of us.
keep this snot nose dictator far away from the polls.
If I only had a choice of Bloomberg, Sanders and Hillary to vote for, I’d vote for Hillary. For the simple reason that the other 2 are secular Jews and no good can come out for Jews in the US, in Israel and worldwide with Jews as leaders in a non Jewish country.
And Sanders, the worst of the 3, is using J-Street as Mideast advisers. His policy is that the US must pressure Israel to a 2-state solution.
with Christie dropping out – one less goon to worry about.
Bloomberg will pull votes from Trump which is GREAT!!!!!!
Reply to 4 he was a successful mayor for twelve years, at least he knows how to run a government, which is way more than you can say for Trump, Hillary, or Sanders
I think he must need a tax break
He’s itching to pass a nationwide ban on soda and metzitzah b’peh
Probably the best candidate to pull the US out of its problems. I hope he runs and wins.
