Michael Bloomberg has no chance of being president. Why is he trying?

[barryqwalsh]

It has become a perennial ego-stoking exercise for one of the world’s largest egomaniacs, the former mayor of New York City, where every four years he pretends he’s “thinking” about running for president as an independent while coating his “decision” in a glaze of anguished patriotic responsibility. After, he inevitably keeps the door open for a run that will never actually happen for several rounds of high-profile, fawning media speculation. It’s so predictable that members of the media are known to joke-guess about when it’ll happen in the election cycle.

Because he is a multi-billionaire and he wants to add "King" to his resume? Bloomberg has absolutely no chance. Why waste the money?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Because he sees all the little twerps we have to choose from and knows he's better than them

 

[Arianrhod]

He's a little man with a big ego, unlimited funds, and the ability to bargain for the appointment of his choice if Hillary wins.
