Assuming he doesn’t get the nomination? I think if he felt like Biden was in real trouble, which is likely, he would run.

I sure hope so.

He certainly wouldn't be getting the votes from POTUS Trump supporters...

The Dems will assassinate him (wouldn't actually be surprised) before letting him split the Lefty vote

I’m pulling for someone to break away and run as a third party candidate. I think today, Trump beats all Democrats running, but I think it could be closer than people think.

I don't think he would but then again why is he spending so much money? It doesn't seem like he is getting much if any traction in the Dem circles. Is he trying to set himself up as a Ross Perot type to eventually pull votes from DJT?

If he goes third party, I see him hurting Dems more than Trump. But what do I know???????

Bernie should run as independent, IMO.

I’d love it if any one of the scumbag Socialists ran third party and split dimcrat vote

It would be like a walk off win in baseball for Trump

I hope so. It would be a bloodbath for the libs. I really hope Bloomberg has that big of an ego that he believes he would pull a large of votes from the libs and enough from Trump to win. That would be glorious.

But just see who would be squealing if he broke to independent. It for sure wouldn’t be Trump.

Depends on who gets the Dem nomination. If it’s someone like Bernie, more than likely. If it’s someone like Biden or Buttgig - that is someone who is willing to strike deals with corporate America while advancing their personal agenda or wealth - probably not.

He wouldn't be squealing, but I could see Trump continuing to bring it up to help bring attention to it and further split the votes

No way the Twitter mob already scared Howard Schultz away from doing that and he’s got a much better backstory and ability to run as a moderate than Bloomberg does. He’s also not a midget.

He's not doing this to run for the nomination or win as an independent.

He is doing this to help whoever does get the nomination win.

I could see it if Warren or Sanders win the nomination. If it is Biden, probably not

No because he is a democrat and running as a independent doesn’t help democrats. The only way this could help Democrats is if a far left candidate wins the primary and a moderate runs independent.

I believe that was the plan all along.

Hope he can grab enough votes away in the general election.

Really depends on if he thinks Trump is worse for American than a 100% insane socialist. If Bernie were to get the nomination, he might go independent. Biden or Warren and I don't think he would jump in as an independent.
