Feeding his ego on a forlorn hope.
What is it with these rich bastards that they think they deserve it all?

Not their website? So they didn’t secure the address bloomberg2020.org as part of their prep work for running? Seems like a pretty rookie slip up.

Go away rich guy. You don’t think there are enough Dems running or more you don’t see one that can beat Trump and you’re sure you can. I hate these f’ing egomaniac men and they are men.

“Owning it together”?

Say, isn’t that communism? So Bloomberg is to the left of Bernie? Good to know.

He seems to be running due to worry that former Vice President Joe Biden, who he sees as the best chance of beating President Donald Trump, won’t win the nomination.

So…how in the world does he think doing this will HELP get Biden nominated?

According to CNN, a Bloomberg spokesman said that if he does choose to run, he will not contest the four early primary states due to his late entry into the race.

Sheesh. That almost hurts to look at.

And the sideways 2’s look like red elephants. You know like you see on Republican logos?

And perhaps the probability that he won’t win in any of those.

Unfortunately, Mnuchin wouldn’t give Bloomberg the rights to this photo.

Perhaps he thinks that’s a kind of side-effect?

As a Warren/Sanders supporter, I think this ain’t all bad. It amplifies concerns about Biden’s weak candidacy and campaign, gives the non-plutophile wing of the party something to clarify their values, and there is no way in hell Bloomberg comes close to getting the Dem nom. It would be bad news if he runs 3rd party, which he might, or if he funds a bunch of negative ads against the progressives–but all that shit is coming anyway from the GOP.

When Howard Schultz is sitting back, laughing at your incompetence…

Maybe Bloomberg needs a back surgery right about now.

They could have stopped at “Steve Mnuchin had no Idea.”

He’s trying to jump in front of the line.

He was thinking about doing this in 2016, but he didn’t do it, because he was afraid that Trump was going to win, if he actually did that.
