LOL I would never vote for Michael Bloomberg. What would his platform be? "There has to be at least one billionaire in the race"?

His platform would be "I'm the most qualified person in America to lead the nation in all arenas."

Compare Bloomberg, personally, to all of the candidates running. Put aside issue positions and tell me if I'm wrong.

There is a sense among many voters that we are settling for less than the best in our Presidential candidates. Bloomberg would represent a solution to that problem. On what level is he not more "qualified" than any of the other candidates running?

I completely agree with this, against Trump and Sanders he would be the most qualified in many people's mind.

No Bloomberg is not more qualified than Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton.

People who go to Starbucks 5 times a week, drive a Mercedes, and love Bravo.

1% of Affluent urban whites. A few 100k+ Asians and Hispanics here and there.

Westchester and Fairfield would likely be among his best counties.

Basically what everyone has said - Acela Republicans and very wealthy, older Democrats, and only in the event of a Sanders v. Trump battle.

He gets <1% in case of something like Rubio vs Clinton, or most likely doesn't run.

Either way, a very small % of the electorate.

The too educated for Trump, too rich for Sanders demographic.

Bloomberg appeals to Wall Street-oriented DLC Democrats. He literally *is* Wall Street, and he's incredibly socially liberal.

Just to clarify, I don't think that Bloomberg would do so well. He'd only get 5% of the vote at best.

Bloomberg is too good for America anyways. He's someone who America needs but doesn't deserve
