Apparently, billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of Big Apple, is seriously considering getting a piece of action in 2016 US Presidential race.
Could it mean Clinton's road to get into the White House is doomed from the get go (yet again) ?
Bloomberg will not only suck up the money from many rich contributors from New York and elsewhere who would otherwise donate to Clintons, but may steal many of everyday Democrats as well as some of progressive Democrats that Clinton badly needs to win. His possible run is a bad news for Clinton I guess.
New York Times writes, "Michael Bloomberg has instructed advisers to draw up plans for a potential independent campaign in this year’s presidential race. His advisers and associates said he was galled by Donald Trump's dominance of the Republican field, and troubled by Hillary Clinton’s stumbles and the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on the Democratic side."
This could mean New York will have three very high profile contenders in 2016 US Presidential race if he gets in. The other two contenders from New York include, of course, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The last contender from New York State to successfully reach the White House was Franklin D. Roosevelt over 80 years ago when big names like Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, Hitler etc were still around.
