World-Class Snark; Nanny Mayor Edition

Michael Bloomberg is contemplating running as a self-financed third-party candidate for president, which resulted in this bit of snark:
If we know anything about America in 2016, it’s that gun confiscation, calorie restriction, and Wall Street all enjoy overwhelming popular support, especially in swing states. So it should come as no surprise that Michael Bloomberg, a public figure associated with bond trading, small sodas, and weapons bans, is once again contemplating a run at the White House.
They even provided a slogan for him: "Make America Drink Smaller Beverages Again".

If there is a politician out there who more exemplifies "nanny-stateism" than Bloomberg, I don't know who it is.

    I hope the shitbag does it, because it'll burn off some of his excessive wealth to no purpose. Outside of the NYC-DC social climbing set, Bloomberg's got all the appeal of week-old cabbage. And I'm guessing that he's more likely to siphon off Republican votes, giving Sanders an even bigger victory margin!
