SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — His aura suddenly shattered, a defiant Michael Bloomberg sent a pointed message Thursday to a political world grappling with his underwhelming presidential debate debut: He’s not going away.

The New York ultra-billionaire lashed out at leading Democratic rival Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump, addressing voters face to face in the Super Tuesday state of Utah. That was just hours after struggling to answer dangerous yet predictable questions about his record on race, gender and wealth during a nationally televised beatdown that rattled would-be supporters and thrilled critics in both parties.

Not as much of an impact as you posit as he pointed to the work Trump has done and he “says” he will do too Trump wins, bloomy wants be be like him, what he did helps Trump more than him.

I totally agree. Trump came out of that debate night smelling like a rose.

Trump is naturally likable. Bloomberg has to pay people to like him and they still don't.

I know Trump is likable. Bloomberg ... I really have no real idea.

He promises to keep fighting? He meant he promises to keep spending.

The MENSA candidates running Mini Mike’sc campaign think they’re soooooo clever with the billboards: “Trump eats burnt steak. Michael Bloomberg eats medium rare” and “Donald Trump cheats at golf. Michael Bloomberg doesn’t.”

These “claims” are so bizarrely childish and silly, words nearly fail me.

But the fact that Mini Mike approved this nonsense shows that he totally lacks self awareness, and that he’s been hermetically sealed in his billionaire bubble for way too long.
