Yes, I'm serious. This isn't about Hagel. It's about Bloomberg. Besides, I have yet to see it defined and written in blood that Bloomberg really would use or choose Hagel for a running mate.
The guy is pretending to be putting forth a bipartisan candidacy after all. Which is bullshit from the outset. So why wouldn't his speaking of Hagel as a consideration for a running mate be bullshit from the outset also? That's how I read it. I'm "serious".
