No way, Bloomberg isn't a neocon and said he'd only jump in if it's Bernie vs Trump. All he cares about is making sure the trains run on time, Hillary would do that so he has no need to jump in.
Plus he'd only jump in if he thought he could win.
Time to go to a home, adam.

Bloomberg already researched it and said if you didn't start an independent bid by the end of March it wasn't worth it.

He's on to me! To the Crabmobile!
You're right, I was bamboozled by the inanity of the American date system.
Yeah, I got too much Sanders spam in the mobile ads that I went on the computer.

You changed your picture. I don't like change. Put it back. I get confused when things aren't how I expect them.
Vivi for this week, then Hillary next week, then back to big bulge Daredevil the week after.

Mandy Rice Davies applies, tho.
It's that way to foil foreign attackers, much like the DC street system.
Security/fraud issues aside, internet/phone voting as an additional option would only increase participation rates across all demographics including lower socio economic groups.
Otherwise you might as well call in person voting "privileged" seeing as you need suitable transport, the ability to take the time off, and the physical capacity to get there.
Wasn't worth it if your goal is to win, that is.

Romney running as an independent would be great for the Republicans, though. They've lost the presidential either way, but they'd get way more turnout which would have a big impact on all the senatorial/gubernatorial races. I'd totally run if I was Romney.
Well, he was running against Corzine.
In the second election though? Yeah that was really embarrassing. But finally we will be free of him. It's been so satisfying to see his approval rating plummet.
He's not even a true New Jerseyan. He calls pork roll "taylor ham" AND likes the Cowboys.
Yeah, they could very easily just offer kiosks at a few commonly traveled areas like supermarkets or the post office for those who need it.

That's effectively just voting machines, then. They have enough problems as it is without putting them in unsecured locations.
Yeah, I personally think an independent "Republican" will more easily secure Democrats the Presidency, but Republicans wouldn't be as badly affected down ticket.
Is Romney really going to jump in knowing he is going to lose, again, though? Trump will relentlessly call him a loser all the way through to election day and beyond. Maybe easier to swallow given he must already know the outcome, and his heart is truly just set of wrecking Trumps campaign and "rescuing" the GOP?
This avatar switching nonsense is insane. Choose one and stick with it, or be like Hue and keep a theme. I've used two avatars since I sucked and fucked my way onto this site three and a half years ago. I changed to my second after I hit member status at three months, if I'm correctly recalling.

He gets to carry the banner for whatever Whig party that rises from the ashes.
To me, this sounds like when Republicans lower taxes across the board, but nearly all of the benefits go to the wealthiest.
What we need is mail-in voting everywhere.
If he views himself as an elder statesman doing what he has to do for the country, I could see it. Especially with the White Horse prophecy and all that.

The way Buono was hung out to dry in that election was disgusting.
Also, it's taylor ham.

He could just suspend his campaign and never pay the debt back like all the cool kids.

Doing a woman of prison theme, then?

No.
This is as anti-NJ as pronouncing the second t in Trenton.

I don't think President Trump would let him back into the super majority GOP.

Romney would get like 6% of the vote though, let's be real. It would be a devastating blow to movement conservatism if he ran because it would show that the overwhelming majority of voters in the GOP are just interested in racism.
I don't think you'll find many voting access options that don't disproportionately the wealthier. Almost every option is going to be easier for the wealthier to use, unless you specifically undertake targeted initiatives such as setting up more polling stations in lower socio economic areas.
If you just want to increase participation in aggregate, then online voting would be a great option, especially for future election cycles as connectivity rates increase (again, security issues aside).
And, you could improve mail-in options and polling station numbers and whatever as well to improve access for all demographics including the poor.

The previously rumored Rick Perry would probably be the most fun option.
Couldn't even crack double digits in the primary and joined after his home state's deadline to get on the ballot, but only him and his smart guy glasses can save the conservative movement as we know it.

All the stuff on Queens website is 20% today if you use the code twenty at checkout. She personally texted me to let me know. She's so thoughtful.
He gets to prove that millionaires aren't all bad.
Also maybe he gets to further legitimize Mormons in the GOP?
Well I assume he's getting Goldman Sachs to pay most of the bill. They probably worked it all out during Clinton's speeches.

Why do people hate Obamacare again?
It's gonna be Jindal with Brownback as VP.
*Action movie trailer voice* Neither was content just to destroy their own state, Jindal announced his third party candidacy on May 30, 2016, otherwise known as the Ebony Timeline. In order to lend their candidacy the proper gravitas and weight, Jindal duct taped himself onto Brownback shoulders in order to ride him around like a pint sized knight on his trusty steed. Jindal and Brownback swept across the country like a typhoon, destroying all in heir path. Pulling in diverse set of dissatisfied white voters from the right, far right, and extreme right, these two forces traveled in a pure state of frenzy towards November. America would never be the same.

You just saved me $7 on that Virginia shirt; thanks!
