Clinton: Bloomberg Won’t Need To Run
The candidates spoke on NBC’s “Meet the Press” following reports that Bloomberg once again was considering running for president.

Bloomberg was a three-term mayor of NY, twice as a Republican and finally as an independent, and is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg News. Sanders said he is confident that if Bloomberg does jump into a race against him and Trump, U.S. voters will reject the two billionaires and elect him instead. And I know him very well. “I don’t know if we’re friends anymore, frankly”.
Sunday, Donald Trump said on “Face the Nation” that he would “love” to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race.
“I’d love to compete against Michael”.
With billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg making headlines this past week amid speculation that he is mulling a launch at the 2016 presidential elections, the big contenders on either side of the political spectrum have finally weighed in on the premise.
SCOTT PELLEY: Another New York billionaire flirting with a presidential run is former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned independent.
“He’s a good friend of mine”, Clinton said during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.
It’s possible that neither the Republican nor Democratic primaries will be clear by Super Tuesday, but Bloomberg believes he must decide by the first week in March to be able to get on the ballot in all 50 states, the confidant said.
Bloomberg’s advisers told the Times that if the former mayor runs, he will present himself as a bipartisan, technocratic figure capable of bridging the yawning gap between the two parties.
“While Trump was also endorsed this week by 2008 vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Hilary Clinton says she is a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination”.
A poll released Monday by Morning Consult concluded that a three-way race that included Bloomberg would see him never gaining more than 13 percent of the vote, the station reported. Bernard Sanders surging against Democratic establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, Mr. Bloomberg has floated the possibility that he’d jump into the race as an independent. “When you’re not a candidate you don’t deserve to be evaluated”, Christie said Sunday. “If he gets in, we’ll talk about his record and his hatred for the Second Amendment”, Rubio said, referring to the constitutional amendment granting Americans the right to bear arms.

Another potential problem for Bloomberg would be the late start; there are only about 10 months until the general election in November.
