I’ve always been drawn to impossible challenges, and none today is greater or more important than ending the partisan war in Washington and making government work for the American people -- not lobbyists and campaign donors. Bringing about this change will require electing leaders who are more focused on getting results than winning re-election, who have experience building small businesses and creating jobs, who know how to balance budgets and manage large organizations, who aren’t beholden to special interests -- and who are honest with the public at every turn. I’m flattered that some think I could provide this kind of leadership.
But when I look at the data, it’s clear to me that if I entered the race, I could not win. I believe I could win a number of diverse states -- but not enough to win the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to win the presidency.
In a three-way race, it’s unlikely any candidate would win a majority of electoral votes, and then the power to choose the president would be taken out of the hands of the American people and thrown to Congress. The fact is, even if I were to receive the most popular votes and the most electoral votes, victory would be highly unlikely, because most members of Congress would vote for their party’s nominee. Party loyalists in Congress -- not the American people or the Electoral College -- would determine the next president.

I didn't know he was running! Oh. well, since the Donald will be our next, there's really no reason for anyone else to stay "in the race", is there?
I'm assuming he was somewhere down in the basement of the "D" ticket?
He must have just gotten the official word that the hildabeast will not be indicted.
I actually have never heard of anyone bowing out without being in to begin with.He said he might run,but that's as far as it went.
Hey, FYI, this is Steve and i;m just announcing I'm pulling out! My son Bubba is doing the same after Super Twosdee!
Thank God, this would've been a huge trainwreck right through the middle of a two-18 wheeler collision. Bloomberg is such a Nanny State political animal it's ridiculous. New Yorkers have had to pay more for regular Cokes verses Diet Coke because of this ninny. Glad he had a lapse into sanity to see he would only be making the situation worse. He needs to go play backgammon with his old Tammany Hall Buddies.
So who is the other NY billionaire? Mrs. Bill Clinton? Or Trump?
I got the Rasmussen survey call asking if I knew who he was and if I'd vote for him. Answer: Yes and HELL NO!
The pos also twisted the city council for him to run a 3rd term wonder how many people got bribed with Bloomberg $$$$$$$
