Battle of the billionaires brewing? Trump could meet his match in 2020

Faux News ^ | December 24, 2018 | Paul Steinhauser

[plain talk]

“They think we voted for Trump because he’s a billionaire.”

Yeah. We voted for Trump in spite of him being a billionaire. Trump is the only game in town amidst the RINOs and a few boring but decent politicians.

[SpaceBar]

The left are so clueless.

Bloomberg/Steyer 2020

[redshawk]

Nicely said . Trump could use you on his staff.

[rbg81]

Yeah, no way Bloomberg gets the Democratic nomination. As Jews are finding out, the Dem party is increasingly anti-Semitic. It doesn’t matter how much $$ you have.

[conservative98]

You think a billionaire knows how to beat Trump? Bloomberg is a choir boy compared to Trump, a choir boy!

Bloomberg is a funny guy. That's why Trump is going to beat him last.

[Balding_Eagle]

Thank you.

I can hardly believe that we are privileged to live through one of the most historic times in Americas history.

“Bloomberg is closer to 80 than 70. “

He will be 77 in February, which means he would be 80 when he took the oath of office. Plus he’s been the “Republican Mayor” of New York City. How does he explain his “political philosophy!” Answer: He doesn’t have one.

Steyer is too obnoxious, toxic and too poor(at a net worth of only $1.6 Billion, he simply isn't rich enough for his money to make much of any difference in a presidential campaign).
Bloomberg is entirely another matter altogether. With a net worth of a staggering $52 Billion, and a known willingness to spend unfettered amounts on his campaigns, he can literally buy his way into being a top contender in literally any race he wants.
This is a guy that could spend $10 Billion on a presidential campaign if he wanted, without batting an eyelid.

Bloomberg, pardon me while I puke. Might as well nominate Madd Maxine whose just as insane, in my opinion.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Mark Cuban is too strange and unpredictable and reminds people too much of Gomer Pyle.

Hilarious. He is arrogant and aloof with all the gravitas of a smarmy rich grade school kid.

[Carriage Hill]

Steyer’s $1.6 billion’s nothing to spit at, but Bloomberg’s $52 billion is impressive, and he might well make a real dent in the RATs’ party hierarchy, but he’s still largely unknown outside NYC. His money - a very large chunk - could sure change that.

[SmokingJoe]

Both Reagan and Trump were Democrats for significant periods of their lives. (Reagan was even a union leader). That never stopped either of them from running and winning as Republicans.
Bloomberg has been a life-long Democrat. His temporary membership of the Republican Party was merely a flag of convenience operation for him to become mayor.

[Sooth2222]

They think we voted for Trump because he’s a billionaire.

Boy, do they have a surprise coming.

They think the Commie left is going to vote for Bloomberg because he’s a billionaire!

What drugs are they on?

[meatloaf]

He’s DOA in flyover country.

[Navy Patriot]

Thanks, Eagle, I concur.

[Socon-Econ]

Trump’s wealth will not be “matched” — the leftist billionaires have much more money. Add in the leftist Hollywood and Silicon Valley money, and Trump will survive only with the prayerfull support of the people.

[RegulatorCountry]

So they think that it was just money that got Donald Trump elected? He was very frugal with his spending as I recall, so it was not just money. It was message. What message does the sour-faced control freak Bloomberg have, other than drop the Big Gulp and back away slowly, lol?

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

It’s not the money it’s the VOTER FRAUD that I am worried about, our side BETTER get a grip on this or Trump will lose just as we lost the house!!! Then again maybe our side doesn’t care if Trump loses!!!

[Revolutionary]

The dems will have a death match primary between the wealthy elite and the political elite. It will not end well.
