Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg said President Donald Trump was the “real winner” of the Democratic primary debate on Wednesday night, saying that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) won’t be able to garner enough support to defeat the president in November.
“Look, the real winner in the debate last night was Donald Trump, because I worry that we may be on the way to nominating somebody who cannot win in November,” the former New York City mayor told a crowd in Utah. “If we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base, like Sen. Sanders, it will be a fatal error.”
Bloomberg, who debated the other 2020 candidates for the first time on Wednesday, said that in terms of voters, “we need Democrats, and Independents and Republicans to win” the presidential election. “And that was the coalition that propelled Democrats to success in the midterm,” he said, adding that “pie-in-the-sky” proposals won’t secure the election.
During the debate, the other five candidates frequently made Bloomberg a target, accusing him of supporting the “racist” stop-and-frisk policing policy during his tenure as New York City’s mayor and also alleged that he made disparaging remarks towards female employees as CEO of his eponymous company.
“Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop and frisk,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Other candidates accused Bloomberg, who is said to be worth about $60 billion, of trying to buy the election.

He’s right.
He should also point out the democrat method of choosing presidential candidates is broken as it has been taken over by insane socialists.
Out of the mouth of a little man babe.
Little Mike just found out he can’t swim with the sharks, and this just sounds like whining. If he doesn’t do well on Super Tuesday, he will go into Milwaukee in 3rd or 4th place. Forcing him in on a second ballot will be a tough pill to swallow for Bernie and Warren supporters.
At least one of them is honest.
That means he has zero chance.
Mike got it done.
His ads in Texas are funny....
Great cartoon.
He’s not that short really, according to the records.
He’s 4’ 20”.
Heh heh heh...
Too short to kick, too slimy to step on.....
How could he not be little mikey? Stand on a stool, look in the mirror, totalitarian. Your philosophy is smaller than you.
Five feet eight inches is not really short, just slightly below average height for a man but next to Donald Trump in a debate he would look like Mickey Rooney.
Hasn’t Trump won every Democrat debate?
He doesn’t even have to tweet. He just wins them by default.
Was that his aim? LOL
Yes, I would agree with that.
That height might not be accurate though. He may be fudging a little.
