Michael Bloomberg Isn’t Really Running For President
Excerpt: There is very good reason to believe Michael Bloomberg isn’t actually running for president. Of course, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. For one, he declared he is. He’s also hired more than 1,000 staff and is still expanding, offering salaries far above campaign averages. This week, he became the first of the declared candidates to have campaigned in all 14 states of March 3’s Super Tuesday primary battle, and he’s spent a quarter billion on political advertising so far. All would point toward Bloomberg indeed running for president. But here’s the snag: He wanted to do all of this anyway. Everything, that is, but the declaration bit. That, he was loathe to do. But the staff, the ad spending, the campaigning — he was going to do all of this to defeat President Donald Trump already, and we know this because he told us so. [The article details some of the neat little ways a “declared candidate” saves money compared to other advertisers. Some may surprise you. And, since he’s spending his own money, there are no limits of any sort. Shockingly, there could really be something to this. Ron P.]
