It looks obvious

Well, consider the fact that he join the GOP only to avoid the democratic primaries in NY - leaving the GOP shouldn’t come as a shock:

NEW YORK Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leaving the Republican party and will remain unaffiliated with any political party, CBS 2 HD learned Tuesday night.
The move will clearly begin advancing rumors that the mayor is gearing towards a presidential run, which he has denied in the past.
In a statement, however, the 65-year-old billionaire indicated this doesn’t change his plans for his political future.
"I have filed papers with the New York City Board of Elections to change my status as a voter and register as unaffiliated with any political party. Although my plans for the future haven’t changed, I believe this brings my affiliation into alignment with how I have led and will continue to lead our City."

I wonder if his unchanged political plans includes wasting a billion dollars…
