is off base. poll numbers convincing the bloomberg team his chances are similar whether it's sanders or clinton onto left. remember the enormously wealthy michael bloomberg can afford to drop a billion on the campaign like another candidate would view it as a drop in the bucket. he might appeal of people tired of partisan politics and politicians who owe favors. recent reports that the former mayor has asked his advisors draw up a lan for a pos ble independent campaign. bloomberg's advisors need to make a move in march to give themselves the time necessary to get bloomberg's name on the ballot. those of us who have covered mayor bloomberg closely he has toyed with thi idea of a white house run for many years. but he's never pulledhe trigger. perhaps not want took a spoiler, not seeing a path to victory, but this year could bring a different outcome plunging
