Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg suggested earlier this year that he was too old to run for president and that if he decided to run that he would have to be “willing to change all” his political views.

“I’ve assembled a team already to go,” Bloomberg said in March at the Bermuda Executive Forum New York. “But at some point you got to say, ‘look, I would be 79 years old when I took office.’ People say, well Ronald Reagan was 80 when he left, yeah, when he was 80 they carried him out gaga. That really is very close; I don’t mean to exaggerate it, but that is very close to being true.”
