Is Michael Bloomberg the Anti-Trump?

Is it possible? No.

Would a Bloomberg presidency be better than a Trump presidency? No; it might actually be worse. In the Twilight Zone-like world in which Trump was president, I don't think he'd actually be running things. I think he'd delegate all the shit he doesn't understand (read: everything), and bluster. He'd be a nightmare speaking to other world leaders, but I'm pretty sure they'd all realize he's bonkers. Bloomberg is more dangerous in that kind of way, imo. He's a tiny little fascist, in a more realistic way than Trump is.

Would his running as an independent help or hurt the Democrat's candidate? I don't think it'll have any real effect on anything, honestly.

(Yeah, I shoulda made a poll.)

Tiny little nutter.

Is it sad that the only thing I got out of that was "I wish I had a billion dollars to throw away on a vanity project that has no chance of success"?

Corny, did you call me a tiny little nutter?

Bwahahahahahaa!!!

And, yeah, it was something to think about, for a little while. Maybe the whole point is to give us false hope, and then dash it.

Dash it.

But, I mean, you know, save the Republican Party from the goofballs. Right? So we can once again pretend there is sanity somewhere in public political discourse?

LOL no!! I was referring to Bloomberg.

Are you using sanity in relation to Michael Bloomberg? The tiny little nutter* is not someone I'd look to for that.

Well, but don't you think Bloomy is saner (at least in appearance) than Trump? I thought 'well...' and then totally hesitated. I have no idea. I think he's more sane in a real-world sense, perhaps, or he hides things better. Some of the things he tried to do while mayor, however... look at some of the lawsuits he/his administration lost on Constitutional grounds, nevermind the policies he instituted.

And please, feel free to call me a tiny little nutter.

I could have taken it as your signature too, you know.

It's a phrase with a certain appeal.

I am not a nutter like those ... those CLUSTERS.

On the other hand, what I'm reading is that Bloomberg would only run if Trump or Cruz wins the Republican nomination (which looks like a decent bet at the moment) and Sanders wins the Democratic nomination (which is a bit more of a longshot). And honestly, I can see how that scenario could open up a plausible situation for Bloomberg as a serious independent candidate. Despite all his personal shortcomings. He could be a candidate nervous moderates would flock to.
