Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus had a message for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he eyes an independent run for the White House: bring it on. It will help the GOP.
Priebus said that “I think it would be a blessing, but he’s not going to do it.”
Bloomberg had said that if the presidential race comes down to Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) or Donald Trump, he may run.
Priebus said that if Bloomberg jumped into the race that New York would be “in play. Pennsylvania will be in play, Connecticut might be in play.”
“I think that he would actually help the Republicans if he was on the ballot,” Prieubs said.
Bloomberg isn’t that popular in New York. He was before he manipulated the rules to get a third term, but he isn’t today. I’m not convinced he would help the Republicans, certainly not against Hillary. I think he would pull far more Romney voters from whichever loon the Republicants nominate than he would pull Obama voters from Hillary. He knows that and won’t run assuming she gets the nod. in the (IMO unlikely) event Bernie is the nominee, it’s a bit harder to say.
One would hope so. although he is claiming that he would be running only if Trump and Sanders get the nod.
Is this guy (Priebus) even relevant any more?
I think this is Jedi mind games, by this dude, with the obviously fake name.
No. What a wimp/
Guess he doesn’t have the party heads behind him.
What party heads?
