Jeff Cox — Ackman: Bloomberg will run for president, and win

[Bill] Ackman likely won't be putting any actual money on this bet—Bloomberg sure doesn't need it—but he's certain the former New York City mayor and head of his eponymous company is going to run for U.S. president, and win.
"I would do everything in my power to get this guy elected," Ackman, the head of Pershing Square Capital, said at the Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit.
Bloomberg has been mentioned on multiple occasions as a potential late-comer to the race. Though he's politically independent, some suspect he would take a shot at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"The window is now or never," Ackman said. "Bloomberg is going to run and is going to win president."
Could see Biden entering the race (with Liz Warren as VP?). Bloomberg, too?

Bloomberg barely won the mayor's race in NYC all three times he ran, even though he outspent his rivals by like 50:1.

Ackman's crazy.
