    Bloomberg made his billions of a media empire. You have your feet planted firmly in the clouds if you think Bloomberg doesn't understand social media.

    It's not hypocritical because Republicans don't campaign against wealth, age or past immoral personal practices. They campaign on issues that impact Americans' daily lives.

    Democrats are hypocrites if they vote for Bloomberg on the other hand because Dem leaders have spent 3 years smearing a rich, old, white, sexist, racist bigot....and apparently only Trump fits all those categories according to the narrative. Until Bloomberg decided to run as a Democrat.

    He's a publisher, not a marketer. He doesn't have the personality to relate to the public on Twitter like Trump does.

    Bloomberg can spend all of his $55 Billion and he will never get a populist following in the next 8.5 months. He doesn't relate well with common people.

    He's wasting his money....he's just weird.

    Trump promised not to give rich people a personal tax cut. He lied. Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall. He lied. He promised to fix health care, fast. He lied. Trump promised to balance the budget, and now he's proposing a $1t deficit. He lied. He promised he wouldn't play golf. He lied. He promised he wouldn't cut Medicare and Social Security, and now he's proposing cuts. He lied. Trump promised he would have the rest of the world respecting us. He lied.

    Trump isn't delivering for Joe and Jane American, either. My guess is Joe and Jane will keep looking until they find the real deal.

    He was elected NYC mayor three times. Trump is afraid of the guy.

    Good strategy for a Trump voter in a place like Texas.

    Not sure how a chart that runs through 2013 says anything about Trump (or has to do with Bloomberg talking to Hillary).

    How about a current chart.

    Trump isn't afraid of anyone. Both of these New Yorkers appear to love a good fight and whoever loses still walks away a billionaire. Politics is a game that rich people play while we peasants sit back and bet on which horse we want to win.

    How about the truth? Real wages went up faster in Obama's last three years than in Trump's first three years, and this despite Republicans juicing the economy with deficit spending (the annual deficit has gone from $500b to $1t).

    Your graph is propaganda. (I'm an economist who doesn't like what either Trump or Obama have done.)

    Hey, as long as financials are going up, then voters usually don't want to change out the incumbent president for an unknown. This year the known "unknown" is that all Dems are promising projects which will cost multiple trillions more...especially the Socialist.

    Green Deals to "save the planet" would cause the price of gasoline and electricity to skyrocket. How many people want to vote to have their cost to get to work increase or spend their grocery budget to heat/cool their house? Only wealthy, elite liberals who can afford it. That's who.

    Not true; and Hillary already has his suicide note as proof.

    And if he did and somehow won the presidency he would be suicided out of the picture shortly thereafter. Hillary does have a . . . work ethic.

    Sanders is known--he's a bomb tossing moron who wants to phase out fossil fuels and nuclear energy. There is no replacement at hand. Bloomberg is way smarter and more responsible than Trump.
    Sanders would wreck the economy. Medicare-for-all would likely save money in the shorter term, but would stifle innovation longer term.
    Nuclear energy may be all that we have to save the planet.
    Your thinking is short term. I'm retired, so that works for me. My grandson is 13 and it doesn't meet his needs.

    My suggestion... the nuclear powers need to form a world alliance to bring nuclear power generation to the world. Now. We could have a disaster if we delay. The only places that would use fossil fuels would be remote areas.

    I agree with you on Sanders and nuclear energy being the inexpensive/efficient/clean replacement (if we need a replacement).

    I disagree the Bloomberg is smarter than Trump. Trump never mentioned banning Big Gulps. Bloomberg is an idiot in his own special way.

    Hillary had her shot and blew it. She's done like dinner.

    We're dealing future generations a bad hand by either denying climate change is real or refusing to implement workable solutions.
    Oh, c'mon--he was a moderate trying to hold on to power in NYC.
