See, I don't know if that's true. Bloomberg brings many of the traits Trump is being lauded for - specifically, the ability to self-fund the campaign and be beholden to no special interests - without the same degree of baggage. Plus he brings actual governmental experience as 2-term mayor of New York (not placing value statements on how well he governed, just saying that he actually did the thing).
Obviously I don't have access to the same polling data that he's got, but I would think that there are voters on both sides of the aisle who would come over to a 3rd party Bloomberg campaign, given the current political climate - especially those on the right who don't buy into Trump's xenophobia and general temperment.
