(<em>Photo: Breitbart<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Rabid anti-gunner Michael Bloomberg will not run for president in 2016. Why? Because he cannot win \u2014 his words, not mine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I look at the data, it\u2019s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win,\u201d said Bloomberg in an essay titled, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloombergview.com\/articles\/2016-03-07\/the-2016-election-risk-that-michael-bloomberg-won-t-take\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bloomberg-president-2016\" title=\"Bloomberg Rules Out Running for President, Takes Shots at Trump, Cruz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Risk I will Not Take,<\/a>\u201d which appeared on his website, BloombergView.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe I could win a number of diverse states &#8212; but not enough to win the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to win the presidency,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg has flirted with the idea of running for POTUS several times in the past. And with non-traditional, non-establishment type candidates (Trump and Cruz on the right, Sanders on the left) making real headway this election season, supporters of Bloomberg thought now would be as good of a time as any for the billionaire media magnate to jump into the race.<\/p>\n<p>But it appears after some real thought and reflection, Bloomberg recognized his candidacy would go nowhere \u2014 and quite possibly lead to the election of the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the race stands now, with Republicans in charge of both Houses, there is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump or Senator Ted Cruz,\u201d said Bloomberg. \u201cThat is not a risk I can take in good conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gun control czar went on to accuse Trump and Cruz of being \u201cdivisive\u201d and \u201cextreme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump \u201chas run the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember, preying on people\u2019s prejudices and fears,\u201d wrote Bloomberg. Later saying in reference to Cruz, \u201cHis refusal to oppose banning foreigners based on their religion may be less bombastic than Trump\u2019s position, but it is no less divisive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since Bloomberg is not running, the next obvious question is who is he endorsing? As we\u2019ve witnessed time and time again, the nanny-stater isn\u2019t afraid to go deep into his pocketbook to champion pet causes \u2014 mainly gun control \u2014 and contribute to political campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not ready to endorse any candidate, but I will continue urging all voters to reject divisive appeals and demanding that candidates offer intelligent, specific and realistic ideas for bridging divides, solving problems, and giving us the honest and capable government we deserve,\u201d wrote Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Given his wish to disarm all law-abiding gun owners, I can\u2019t imagine Bloomberg supporting any GOP candidate, all of whom profess to be pro-gun, which means that he is undoubtedly going to support Hillary, the likely Democratic nominee. Yikes! She\u2019s already raised a ton of money. But with the assistance of Bloomberg\u2019s bankroll, it might be just what she needs to push her into the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhen I look at the data, it\u2019s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win,\u201d said Bloomberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":21613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-54358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bloomberg Rules Out Running for President, Takes Shots at Trump, Cruz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u201cWhen I look at the data, it\u2019s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win,\u201d said Bloomberg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bloomberg-president-2016\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bloomberg Rules Out Running for President, Takes Shots at Trump, Cruz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cWhen I look at the data, it\u2019s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win,\u201d said Bloomberg.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bloomberg-president-2016\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-03-09T16:11:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-17T18:07:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/michael-bloomberg.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
