Underestimate Michael R. Bloomberg at your own risk

I'm a Bloomberg supporter, but he'd do awfully. He'd only get 1.5%-5% of the vote after spending $1 billion-$2 billion on the race (thus massively outspending both Sanders and TRUMP).

Okay, this Bloomberg sh*t is even worse than the Berniebots.

He's giving Bloomberg supporters a bad name. I'm a Bloomberg supporter, but I accept the fact that he'd do terribly. He would only get around 3% of the vote, with 1.5% being his floor and 5% being his ceiling.

Anything could happen though. I remember back in June when Trump announced that he was running. He had incredibly low approval ratings amongst GOP voters and was polling at 3%. People wrote him off has a joke candidate. He became so desperate that he paid people to cheer him on during his announcement speech. Atlasians kept talking about how he wouldn't get over 5% of the vote. People kept talking about how he only appealed to a very small portion of the GOP, and wouldn't come close to winning. Anyone who said that Trump had a shot at winning was called a troll and unrealistic. No one saw Trump's rise coming. No one predicted that a bunch of working-class whites would support him. Now he's the GOP front runner. Anything could happen guys. Bloomberg might actually do good, although this is very unlikely. The media does have a history of underestimating Bloomberg. The chances of Bloomberg exceeding 5% of the vote is 0.00001% though.

I'm also pretty sure that bronz4141 is not a Bloomberg supporter. I think he's just pointing the fact that the media constantly underestimates Bloomberg and that anything could happen. A significant portion of the media believed that Bloomberg would lose the 2001 and 2009 mayoral elections, but he proved them wrong.

Bloomberg would not come close to winning the presidency though.

Bloomberg is too left-wing for most Republicans and too rich for most Democrats.
