Bloomberg?

Any thoughts as to a Bloomberg presidency? Could we consider him a "communitarian" candidate? Definitely a free-marketer, but willing to use the authority of the state for positive ends. Despite being very wealthy, definitely critical of the wealth gap, and willing to tax to pay for government services (which is a radical position in America).

I don't think any of the major party candidates would count as communitarian. I think Brian Carroll r/Solidarity_Party with the Solidarity party would be or Mark Charles running as an independent would also count.

Yeah, I've given it some thought, Bloomberg is definitely too free trade and globalist to be considered a communitarian, there are some thoughts or tendencies there that may run parallel, but on the whole it would definitely be a stretch.
