Sanders Says Trump Would Chew Up Bloomberg

[RandySF]

Sen. Bernie Sanders told 60 Minutes that Michael Bloomberg’s performance at his first debate means President Trump would likely “chew him up and spit him out” in a debate if he were to win the nomination.

When asked if he’s less worried about Bloomberg: “I am worried about an unprecedented amount of money being spent on a campaign. And– you know, we’ve never seen anything like this in American history. And I just think though that the American people will rebel against this type of oligarchic movement. We are a democracy. One person, one vote. Not a guy worth $60 billion buying an election.”

1. The republicans are chomping at the bit at a Sanders nomination

It terrifies me that Sanders may be the nomination. The republican's destruction of our democracy has to stop. Sanders is not the person to do it.

2. I'm inclined to agree with Sen. Sanders

Based off Bloomberg's horrific debate performance I can easy see Trump getting the better of him in a debate. Not by content, just by how easily Bloomberg would be unsettled.

10. He would be much more practiced by then and dump has many lines of attack and Bloomberg is

much smarter so no I don't think dump will do well against him.

3. Kyrie Irving says the Earth is flat

doesn't make it true. And I am not even a Bloomberg fan.

4. He's right of course

Even without a debate Bloomberg's inability to answer even questions he knows are coming means he can't do interviews, appear in public where he might be challenged, etc. Ads only take a campaign so far.

5. Did you watch the debate?

7. Bernie will get chewed up in November

8. I'm just at a place

Where I don't think Bloomberg or Sanders are the right choice for us - at this moment in History.

Disclaimer - I believe our Federal Republic has fallen and we are now a Banana Republic where the rule of law and justice does not apply to the highest echelons of American Society.


Before we move forward - Step back and restore our Constitution and three - FULL THREE branches of Government. Assign decent judges that Millenials and Ys can work with 20 years from now. Re-Establish Due Process and Equal Protection before the law.

If you start where I'm at - not toppling Trump or a revolution or stopping Sanders -

The a Statesman or Stateswoman is required.

Our Founders were imperfect Patriots - and that's why my support is back to where it was last Spring. Julian, Kamala and Booker dropped out.

I'm back to Biden, Klobuchar and Pete.

14. I hear you.

But the delegate math seems to indicate that Bloomberg and Sanders will be our choices, for better or for worse.

Now what?

15. Too soon

155 delegates does not inevitable make. ,

We have a Caucus tomorrow and a Primary next Saturday part of that 155.



Pete Buttigieg 23

Bernie Sanders 21

Elizabeth Warren 8

Amy Klobuchar 7

Joe Biden 6


Zero
Michael Bloomberg
Tom Steyer


I think this thing goes right down to the wire. And I don't believe TX and CA are going for Sanders or Bloomberg.

[Laelth]

17. I made my prediction.

I am well aware that my preferred candidate currently leads in the delegate count.

We shall see what we see, but my gut feeling on this is very strong. Like this ...

9. Bloomberg doesn't have a MOVEMENT behind him like Bernie.

He's got the $$$, and $$$ is powerful. But the people are behind Bernie. Bernie would drive voters to the polls, like they are showing up huge for his rallies.

[UniteFightBack]

12. He's actually driving less people then in 2016. Are these new voters you are talking about? nt

[CalFione]

11. Bernie is right about that
