We Knew He Was a RINO!
Mayor Bloomberg has officially left the Republican party. Not that this should come as much of a surprise, Bloomberg was a life-long Democrat who only switched parties to avoid crowded primary race when he inittially ran for Mayor. He is obviously keen on a presidential run as an independent. Two issues: First, Bloomberg has absolutely no chance of winning, at least now. I relish the idea of him spending an innordinate amount of money on consultants that are telling him it's possible. Second, if he does make a run, how will it affect the major parties? My guess is it would hurt the Dems a bit more. Bloomberg has no real appeal to conservatives. He might have some appeal for moderate democrats. I hope he does run.
