Mike Bloomberg has a simple, if deeply unusual, plan to become president. Rather than trying to gain traction in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, before feasting on delegate-rich contests on Super Tuesday and beyond, Bloomberg is skipping the first step of that process in favor of spending a boatload of money on ads, many of them anti-Trump; focusing on his national profile; and hoping that the early states will produce a fractured field or a flawed champion such as Bernie Sanders. CONT.
