Bloomberg was a Democrat until 2001 when he switched to run for mayor as a Republican. In 2007 he became an independent. Who would he pull the most votes from? He's worth 5x Trump so obviously he's a better businessman, amiright?

Hillary? Does she advise Bloomberg?
She essentially holds the court of centrist opinion right now and as the frontrunner for the presidency she has a lot of sway in public opinion and media narrative. So regardless of any sort of real or imagined influence on Bloomberg himself, she needs to make sure that the backlash is loud.

I'm convinced Bloomberg is a time traveling fetus.
He was created from an alternate, non-Bloombergian universe where Hillary and Donald ran campaigns against each other in 2016, which concluded with the world being fed up with both of them, strapping them in the Large Hadron Collider, and slamming both into each other at near luminal speeds. This collision generated a wormhole, and sent a combination creature back through time and space to be born in 1942. This is the universe we live in.
It would be an awkward race if he did run. If Clinton gets the nomination, Bloomberg would cut a lot of the middle, male voters away from Hillary. Hillary wouldn't inspire a large voter turnout to compensate for the lost middle, and Trump would probably end up winning with a strong base.
Sanders would have more resilience against Bloomberg as he would still be running on a populist platform against the billionaires and would inspire a higher turnout.

Cruz has an ad where he is duck hunting with the racist Duck Dynasty guy. Big endorsement. I think this one ups Palin's endorsement of Trump.

Just in case Trump/Cruz at 1-2 in the polls wasn't depressing enough, we've found a way to lower the intellectual bar even further! This could come down to whoever Ammon Bundy likes the most.

I like how they camouflage their faces with paint or whatever to better blend in, but then the guy has the big white beard right out in the open. Wouldn't that stand out a bit? Maybe ducks don't fear beards like humans do.

One of the more interesting concession speeches we've seen in recent years.

So Trump had a protester wearing a turban removed from a rally in Muscatine, IA. A friend of a friend on Facebook was at the rally and said they were sitting a few rows behind the guy and the whole thing was staged. People around that section were laughing about it. It's like the WWE. It doesn't seem like the mainstream media has picked up on it yet though.
I like the Youtube video title "violent man..."
