Why would you assume Trump would win easily? What logic is involved there? He has one advantage - the electoral college. Outside of that he is behind on all the polls, he has always been unpopular, he is self destructive. He does have a couple of additional advantages in that he is perfectly willing to cheat and to sell out the country and the GOP in general is actively putting in as many vote suppression tactics as it can.
As for Bloomberg. He can rival... what? He's an old-school Republican. Business first, bad economic ideas, and no focus on racism/sexism. I am not sure why you think he would be a strong contender. He's doomed in a Democratic primary, which he seems to be joining, since he's basically got the same constituency as Steyer and Schultz but with more name recognition and some actual experience as Mayor. He isn't going to do much better than they did. He's smart enough not to run a third party campaign since that would probably tip it to Trump. (There isn't actually much of a voting block that wants conservatism if it doesn't have the racism involved.)
The Media will love him because "billionaire that is for the rich people but not crazy racist"/aka "reasonable Republican" is something they desperately want. And maybe the propaganda bonus and free advertising for that will work... but not enough to win a primary. I'd be genuinely stunned.

It's rare I agree with Bred Sob. That kind of thing is mostly things his base likes. The criming as well. The crimes may push his approval even lower in the suburbs, but his hard core fan base like him because he's a sleazy asshole.
