That said... given how the last few Billionaire 3rd party Independent runs have gone (Perot, etc.)... and the net effect attributed to them (if they don't win, they're just splitting votes away and playing spoiler... but most likely from whom this time)?

Rumors going around are that Bloomberg has ruled out a run.

I think Romney would be getting in knowing he would lose (again). I think he just wants to deprive Trump of a general election victory.

What really interests/concerns me is the number of Trump voters who are saying in exit polls that they were previously Obama voters. That's an... interesting mindset.
