HE’S NOT ALL THAT POPULAR A GUY: Michael Bloomberg’s potential 2020 bid is getting hammered online. He should run for NYC mayor again; they really need somebody competent, and he was okay.
Related: It would cost Bloomberg something like $12B to ‘buy’ the presidency. “In 2009, running for a third term as mayor, Michael Bloomberg spent $102 million to get a mere 51%, total of $174 per vote. If he were to spend $174 per vote in this bid for the presidency in 2020 we’re hearing so much about, the White House would cost him something like $12 billion.”
Political consultants and political media outlets everywhere are drooling, but once outside their circles enthusiasm drops off a lot.
