Ben Smith: “Bloomberg is floating a run for president, for the third time, an exercise that often puzzles the Americans who become aware of it. In this divisive, divided time, is anyone begging for low-profile technocratic leadership?”
“This is, at least, the operating theory at the eco-friendly Upper East Side mansion that houses Bloomberg’s foundation: That there’s space for a Democrat who wants to make America boring again. A candidate whose social media policy is Never Tweet, and whose government would be so drama free that Americans of all political stripes (except, perhaps, lovers of assault weapons and big gulp sodas) could go back to liking football.”
