I don't think it'll work. He's neither Republican nor Democrat (and in fact has been both at one point or another) - even someone as well-known as Bloomberg I don't think can capture the Presidency as an independent candidate. Not to mention his stance on things is too complicated for modern American politics. He's socially liberal (supports heavy social programs, large-scale public education, gay rights, pro-choice), but also largely anti-civil liberties (stop and frisk, crackdowns on demonstrations, pro-surveillance). He's the exact sort of candidate New Yorkers vote for, but I don't think the rest of the country would go for it.
