Donald J. Trump's reaction to the potential run of Michael R. Bloomberg in the presidential race was simple: Bring it on.
"I would love to see Michael run -- I would love the competition," Mr. Trump said in a brief interview before a rally of several hundred people who lined up for hours to see him here.
He said :” if least then there would be some competition!”
Put down to $anders and Hill/billy
Blppmberg will not win a single Southern state and probably few others due to his gun control foolishness. He is a regional candidate, had been mayor of NYC but is a New Egland native.
Of course he would - what a better way to peel off the “soft Democrats” / urban moderates from Hillary?
He’s a very legitimate candidate for the dems - more so than Sanders.
Trump fears no man or woman.
Have you noticed how aggressive Trump has gotten toward Cruz lately. The love fest seems to be over there.
Cruz has become Trump’s human pinata. Imagine the number Hillary would do on Cruz. I’m thinking it’s all over by 11:30pm election night.
Unless Bloomey changes parties and runs as a dem against Hill and Bern. Too late probably unless he expects to be the one to carry the banner after Hillary gets indicted.
I'm good with giving them a pass here, they likely didn't even bother looking at the crowd size, so used to dozens showing up for Hillary, Jeb, Bernie, Rubio, etc...
And Bloomer would get 4% vote getting his butt kicked.
I don't know, the last California liberal to win the nomination worked out pretty well. I think I'll go with the one who's not the career politician.
Bloomturd ran as a “republican” because all the slots for “democrat” were taken.
He had to run as a republican or not run at all.
I earn more than $175,000 a year, and my net worth is less than two years of paychecks in the Senate. I can't be bothered to manage my own wealth, just think what I'll do with yours...
A Bloomberg run would almost certainly draw more from Clinton (since it would give left leaning folks someone who is not soiled with Clinton sleaze to push their ideas, gun-grabbing in particular) than from the GOP nominee, though it sounds like he’ll only get in if he thinks he can win and as of now he only thinks he can win if it’s Trump v. Sanders. I think his analysis is wrong, that he’d only get a the thin sliver of the GOP who think like George Will and a thin sliver of the ‘Rats who aren’t happy with open talk of socialism.
Well heck.. why not get Bill Gates in the game too... a regular Presidential Cavalcade of Billionaires!
Birds of a feather flock together. Liberal is as liberal does.
Bloomberg is a winning ticket? Where? Coney Island?
Ronald Reagan was a former California Democrat, NOT a liberal.
In fact, he stated the Democratic Party left HIM during the 60s/70s...
Trump on the other hand had NO problem sticking with the RATs until very recently... Right around the time he decided to run for office conveniently for him...
Reagan said he was a "near hopeless hemophiliac" bleeding-heart liberal.
He was a founding member of the California branch of the very liberal Americans for Democratic Action back in the '40s and was considered for state chairman of the organization.
Certainly, Ronald Reagan's liberal days were far behind him when he ran for president and won, but he really was a liberal in his younger years.
That was back when liberals and conservatives had the same goals, but just believed there were different ways to get there.
That ship sailed long ago, unfortunately.
