    Hillary for Veep?

    https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/as-bloombergs-vp-hillary-clinton-could-get-revenge-against-trump-goodwin/ The report that Hillary Clinton could become Michael Bloomberg’s running mate is one of those times when it is no exaggeration to use the word bombshell. Earthquake would also work, assuming...

    Bloomberg for President?

    There doesn't seem to be a Bloomberg thread. He has built a massive national campaign operation and has no practical financial limitations. Can he win the nomination? Can he beat Trump? Would he be a competent (let's not even dream of "great") President...

    Bloomberg for President?

    There doesn't seem to be a Bloomberg thread, so here's one. A Bloomberg campaign manager made an interesting point in a TV interview: As far back as the '70s, Iowa and New Hampshire have played a primary role in deciding who can run for President. If somebody can't do well in those small, very...

    Michael Bloomberg is registering as a D and considering a 2020 presidential bid

    Per the thread title, the former Republican mayor of NY is registering as a Democrat and considering a run for the presidency in 2020. Probably an early favorite too. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/michael-bloomberg-registering-as-democrat-as-he-weighs-2020-bid-1.1149971 IMO this just...

    Because We put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods.

    Bloomberg speaks out on NYC anti-gun violence programs: http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/16/heres-audio-from-the-event-michael-bloomberg-is-trying-to-block-from-being-broadcast-audio/ "Yes, that’s true.

    Now Bloomberg Endorses President Obama

    http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/11/01/bloomberg_endorses_obama.html No, not the financial news group, but the Mayor of NYC. Normally I would totally dismiss this as being irrelevant, but given the media attention due to the superstorm and all, I think Mayor Bloomberg has a platform to...

    Gulp! NYC Mayor Proposes Super-Sized Soda Ban.

    See NY Times link. Or the Chicago Trib if you can't get into the above link. Personally I think Bloomberg's approach is a little heavy handed but I can understand his frustration. There's a direct connection between non-diet sodas, obesity and medical expenses --- and NYC does fund city...

    Big Bloomberg

    So Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to regulate portion size of soft drinks. What's next? Hamburger size? Sounds to me he's kinda losin' it...maybe a workout video is next? "Losin' It with Bloomberg".

    Bloomberg credits Jon Stewart with the passing of the First Responders Bill

    "Did the bill pledging federal funds for the health care of 9/11 responders become law in the waning hours of the 111th Congress only because a comedian took it up as a personal cause?" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/27/business/media/27stewart.html?pagewanted=1 '“Success always has a thousand...

    Bloomberg...let me get this straight

    I don't follow NY politics closely but here's what seems to be the short story. Bloomberg thinks he is the only man who can help NY weather the economic crisis so he implores the city council to allow him to run for another term in office (making it 3). The council first votes to reject an...

    NYC Mayor begs Senate not to pass universal handgun permit law

    http://wcbstv.com/politics/senate.gun.bill.2.1095294.html The law would allow folks who have obtained a handgun carry license to carry a handgun in any state in the union, regardless if the other states have stricter handgun laws. So, one can get a handgun carry permit in Vermont, which only...

    Big Apple Mayor Bloomberg Too Indispensable; NY City Council Abolishes Term Limits

    Bloomberg proves Lord Acton's adage: Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081023/ts_nm/us_newyork_bloomberg

    A Thread Not About Ron Paul

    I remember hearing rumors that Bloomberg and Hagel might run on a centrist ticket, but when Hagel said no the rumors died down. Next Ross Perot or media sensation? What's Bloomberg's angle here?
