Is he serious, though?

I think that&#8217;s where this billionaire business magnate will run into trouble. \u00a0With 100,000 million gun owners in this country, it&#8217;s hard to believe that they&#8217;d get behind a rabid, anti-gunner. \u00a0Then again, they elected and re-elected Obama.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it&#8217;ll be a game of wait and see. \u00a0If Bloomberg continues to be displeased by what he&#8217;s seeing on the campaign trail, mainly, outsiders taking over,\u00a0e.g. Hillary getting her <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/watch-optimus-prime-gets-butt-kicked-trying-rob-fresno-starbucks\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"will-bloomberg-run-for-president-in-2016\" title=\"Will Bloomberg Run for President in 2016?\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"5271\">butt kicked<\/a> by Sanders, Trump dominating the GOP, he may jump in. But if establishment candidates (Hillary, Rubio) from both parties end up getting the nom, then he&#8217;ll probably sit this one out. \u00a0I guess that&#8217;s how I see it playing out. \u00a0What are your thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg: 2016?
