    He is not getting my vote just to be clear. I hope he doesn't run as a third party candidate when he loses the nomination.

    In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye sang "when you're rich they think you really know". More like "when you're rich you think you really know".

    White male billionaire knows best for the country? Not getting my vote.

    He would make an excellent President but can he win. I'm going to vote for the candidate with the best chance of winning, period. Yeah, winning is that important.

    He would rather tank the whole system and let Trump win again than pay a progressive wealth tax.

    Given the opposition you might change your mind if he's against Trump in the end.....two white male billionaires...I don't think it'll come down to that but if it does I won't blink to vote for him

    Yes, I'd vote for him over Trump but that is a very low bar.

    Bloomberg has never had any chance to ever be POTUS. His uncontrolled narcissism, inflated arrogance and perceived need to subjugate and/or ridicule other individuals deemed to be inferior or unworthy by him is a cartoonish cliche' that while it may play well in NY, repels most decent Americans.

    He is one of the most despicable people on Earth, and even waiting this long to declare (to escape publicity about his crimes and shortcomings) will not shield him in a general election.

    He has less friends than HRC, and there is no amount of money he won't spend, no civil right he won't trample to sate his irrational fear of "other people having fun".

    Can we all stop pretending yet?

    None of the declared candidates has a snowball's chance in hell, and likely none of them will be the Primary winner.

    The Deep State will thrust their purchased puppet upon you suddenly in the weeks to come, and it appears it will be Michelle Obama.

    What would be the advantage of growing your company any further once you were worth $999 Million? What would be the advantage of investing any venture capital once your were worth $999 Million?
