Michael Bloomberg has realistic reservations about whether a run for the presidency is a viable option for him. Regardless, he has very serious plans for the 2020 race whether he runs for office himself or not: Crush Donald J. Trump.
“Mike Bloomberg has bigger plans for 2020 than running for president.”
“While no final decision has been made, his aides have nonetheless been working on a fallback that only a man worth $40 billion can afford, whether he runs or not. Bloomberg is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a data-centric political operation designed to assure one goal: Crush Donald Trump.”
“Though a budget has not been set, this effort would almost certainly become the biggest and most powerful political organization in the country overnight. It would also be the only real counter to the operation that Trump’s campaign put together in 2016, which allowed it to reach out to millions of voters in a more targeted, under-the-radar way, and helped deliver the election to Trump by shaping their thinking for months and then activating them on Election Day.”
