Bloomberg Says the ‘Real Winner’ of Nevada Debate Was Trump

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.
