Politically it makes no sense for Bloomberg to run, is he vying for part of Trumps NY votes?
Is this an old rivalry between Bloomberg and Trump?
Is Bloomberg just adding more wall street to battle Sanders anti wall street logic?
Bloombergs running would be a waste of time and money,imho.
A big establishment player like Bloomberg, will likely give more credence to Sanders campaign.

Oh, goodie, the man who banned sodas and salt.
The logo of a salt shaker, meant to warn consumers of high sodium content in food, appears on an Applebees menu on Dec. 1, in New York City. The new sodium warning is the result of a city-wide law effecting restaurants with 15 or more locations and lets consumers know that an item has 2,300 milligrams of sodium or more in it.

Nope, he wanted to cut the level of salt in all restaurant food by 25%. If it failed, it was because of a revolt by restaurant chefs threatening to quit New York which has a thriving restaurant scene.
The plan, for which the city claims support from health agencies in other cities and states, sets a goal of reducing the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25 percent over the next five years.

He might pick up some Clinton supporters, but the Sanders supporters will see Bloomberg as part of the problem, not a solution.

Corporate fail!!!

The OP is right; Bloomberg would end up giving the election to the GOP.
His supper anti-gun philosophy would make him anathema to Republicans.
The only way the Dem’s would survive is if Trump gets screwed and runs as an independent himself.
Now that would be an unprecedented election: Two billionaires and a Latino (Cruz) and a criminal major candidate.
Of course unless another GOP guy like Kasich or Rubio sneaks in.

Hillary is just a multi-MILLIONaire...don't think she's a "Billionaire" yet...unless she's already stashed that missing $6Billion from the State Dept...in her offshore account.
