I don't know about that. If he valued what he was doing, who's to say.
He would have been a good candidate in the sense that his professional accomplishments are light years beyond either Biden or Trump.

Amazing thing is, when you think about having $60B, is his money probably made the $600M or whatever he spent in the 3 months he spent it.
It would be hilarious when Trump taunts him if Bloomberg shot back "I'm sure that sounds like a lot of money to a mini-billionaire like yourself".
posted by O-TrapGuy is a wackadoo. Not sure who's crazier, him or Vermin.
I like Vermin, he runs as a satirical candidate but is decent when he's being serious.
He did say that he already had a VP, but that McAfee could be his President of Vice.
I'm all in for Jacob Hornberger, though.
100% for sure that Biden will offer Trump to a good ole fist fight. I can hear it in now:
" come on man.....come fight me"

I mean as a society. Rich people wasting their money for bullshit jobs when they could be helping people is obscene. He doesn’t get to decide if his garbage ass run was worth it or not. But instead, us normal people should pay for poors instead of fucks like him. Fuck that. I’d say same as Trump, but he decided on tax cuts instead, vs Biden saying f you your taxes are going up

I guess I've never actually seen him be serious.
I'm in on Hornberger as well.

Dear lord, I hope so.

I was thinking “my God so much of Bloomberg’s own money being wasted”.
And then I read your post. You’re right, money is nothing to him. He made that up very quickly with that kind of portfolio.

It's even more mind-boggling than that.
If you took 99.99% of a millionaire's money, he'd be left with $100. But if you took 99.99% of Bloomberg's wealth, he's STILL worth $6M!
His wealth, on average, if you assume a fairly conservative 5% annual return makes over $8M EVERY DAY. It's like Brewster's Millions - you literally couldn't even spend enough to keep pace with the investment gains.

He does get to decide. It's his money and he can spend it how he wants. You may see it as a waste - that is your perogative. But I would guess he dies not. He's an astute business man, knew the risks of this undertaking and decided to proceed.
I'm not sure I understand the rest of your comment.

Had a few drinks last night. Basically it's just annoying as fuck that rich people (in politics specifically) want to raise my taxes to help poor people rather than doing it themselves. And instead of donating $500M, Bloomberg wasted it doing nothing, then basically cried on stage when he ended his race.
Also in regards to Bloomberg and money, it's hilarious the thought that $100k spent by Russia on fbook gave Trump the presidency, but $500M couldn't even get someone into the top 5 in a primary.

I would've banned him already.

So the Russians spent $300,000 on Facebook and got Trump elected, but Mini Mike spent $500 MILLION, and could nary get a democrat delegate.
Makes sense.
And down goes Warren. 2 white almost 80 year olds are all that's left. One a crazy socialist, one is losing him mind literally. Woof.
posted by iclfan2Biden has gotten worse before our eyes. I don't think him or Bernie would look very good vs. Trump (not that he even looks good) in a debate.
Watching//hearing the montages of Biden’s gaffes is damn hilarious.
Of course, if Trump said those things they would be ‘lies’.
Gropey Joe is senile. He is there because the swamp/deep state/establishment needs him there, to hope he wins and then control him as we go back to status quo. We can only hope that does not happen.
posted by gutSo, Trump says something to influence the SCOTUS and the Dems/Media have full-on meltdown.
Chuck Schumer threatens Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and not a single leftwing source even covers it (at least not on the first page or two of google search).
OK, there is an article from NBC on Roberts slamming Schumer, and a couple articles from TheHill.com
Schumer should be escorted out of the senate building and investigated, as well as submitting his resignation.
Schumer should have a gag order on him.
All these Dems have been just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Biden and Bernie have taken a seat in them. Warren followers will give Bernie a bump.

"Of course I didn't intend to suggest anything other than political and public opinion consequences for the Supreme Court, and it is a gross distortion to imply otherwise. I'm from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language. I shouldn't have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I never, never would do such a thing. And Leader McConnell knows that. And Republicans who are busy manufacturing outrage over these comments know that, too."
First, liberals are the kings and queens of 'manufacturing outrage'.....
Second, what does Mitch McConnell have to do with this...it was Chief Justice Roberts that called him out for his threatening rhetoric......

LOL at Trump followers parroting the nicknames he assigns.
