LOS ANGELES - Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg said on Friday that Donald Trump would easily defeat any of his Democratic White House rivals in next year’s election, bluntly declaring: “Donald Trump would eat ‘em up.”
In an interview on CBS’s “This Morning,” Bloomberg said: “I looked at our national government getting worse, the way we’re behaving overseas and domestically, led by our president. I said back in 2016, ‘He is the wrong person for the job. He doesn’t have the temperament or the ethics or the intellect to do the job.’”
Bloomberg, a former Republican and independent, fears that liberal candidates such as U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and their proposed costly expansion of government programs, will alienate voters in battleground states. Bloomberg and 14 other Democrats are vying to become the party’s nominee to take on Republican President Trump in next November’s election. The nominating contest begins in Iowa on Feb. 3.
MichaelBloomber is aiding realDonaldTrump. The country is ready for BernieSanders or ewarren Our current president is unlike past or present candidates. We are operating under different standards than Bloomberg's vice millionairemindset billionaireclub 2020Vision BadGuy
He’s probably right but any Democrat will have a really hard time getting elected because Democrats have set themselves up for failure by doing nothing positive for the nation.
Each and everyone of you alienate voters in battleground states!
I really dislike Bloomberg because he's arrogant racist and a liar he feel like this is his last chance to be President not to represent the American people there's not that much different between him and Trump.
Like they’re pining for a soda tax.
He could back another candidate. No one was clamoring for him to enter the race
Not just battleground states
G-d damn it this shit.... For fucks sake.... Makes me think we really do not have or not allowed to vote in those we truly would make a difference. All our leaders seem to become figureheads. :'(
He is🇨🇳 CCP's muppet, stand with RMB like LeBron James.
Bloomberg needs to run as the Republican he is.
If you don’t want voters alienated get out of the race
Try not to show to much fear Bloomberg, you might get stopped and frisked for acting suspiciously. Elizabeth Warren supporters remember FDR's immortal words, 'the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself'. Senator Warren is the right person at the right time, Warren2020.
MikeBloomberg I am part of the democratic base and I feel alienated by your presence in the race. Are you concerned about that?
Seems to be personal, between them.
He alienates me. How's that.
Jesus. What a softball interview. She never pressed him as to reasons, just let him spew his line.
And put their hands in his pockets.
He’s probably right - the usual zero-sum in play.
I agree with the headliner.
How old are they...aren't there any candidate under 60 😬
Why are you producing and airing this random billionaire's campaign video for free? Weird
Bloomberg wants to seize guns. Bloomberg wants to seize large sodas. Bloomberg wants to seize coal mines. Bloomberg wants to seize many of our freedoms. Bloomberg is: LittleSeizer
Buy FOX News Bloomberg!
That's good as saying the voters are foolish. Exactly why are you afraid of ewarren?
The Dems are destroying their chances with this impeachment fantasy. Add in their rhetoric and it just gets worse.
I am 99% sure that Trump will be elected again!
Good
oh yep, he’s definitely not doing that. you really don’t have to report on this, or give him any credit or chance or anything. he’s not going to change anything.
LOL, HEY BLUMBERG THEY ALREADY HAVE, GOOD LUCK GETTING THEM BACK.
He's scared that they'll disrupt the status quo that works for billionaires but not average Americans.
What’s the problem?
He’s alienating me
Stop traffic. A billionaire is trying to convince people to vote for someone who will keep things the same as they have been.
At this point, I am not sure my 9 year old grandson couldn't beat Trump, if he ran for the office. He'd do better.
I don't care what Bloomberg says,we don't need him as President.his country can't afford to have another egotistical billionaire using this country as his plaything. If he wants to help defeat Trump use his money to fund Congressional races so Dem can elect a veto proof majority
He took it back immediately. Come on, Dems, he doesn’t stand a chance, but play your cards right, he’ll give $300M to defeat Trump. He gave $30M to Dems in the midterms. “It’s better to have friends than enemies.” -Bill Clinton.
He can bc he gets big brother china ccp’back. When china is expanding around the world, pushing dissidents into concentrationcamps, setting spies to monitor voices, he said China is not a threat. Obviously, he gets enough sweets from china
Nope. If he wanted to “beat Trump” he could find more capable candidates and support flipping the Senate. This is vanity and hubris.
this guy is pure evil
Nope. He has entirely ignored the damage of stop and frisk AND has suggested he’s never received pushback for that policy. BS. NoMoreLiars
Actually in that interview he fails to do that, you just didn't notice.
Who cares? Only Michael Bloomberg and the press care about Michael Bloomberg. He is another person who thinks he can buy an election.
Since he appears to fund much of the anti-gun propaganda machine through Everytown for Gun Safety and donations to similar organizations... I'm guessing you might as well throw your firearms in the ballot box along with your vote if you choose to go down that path. 2ndAmendment
mr bloomberg is apparently ready to take office but his code of conduct and knowledge of the “fly over zone” of the middle states of America and policies that negatively affect them show he isn’t someone i would consider voting for
How about, 'I'm a REAL billionaire spending MY OWN money, not a poseur spending Russia's'?
Clueless.
Looks like a Picasso.
MichaelBloomberg
No one cares about Bloomberg.
No more Billionaires , no more frickin New Yorker's
I'll never vote for a Big Gulp hater.
He doesn’t have the intellect or mental stability to eat anyone up

Bloomberg's statement is factually incorrect but more importantly it's indicative of the oligarchic stranglehold that the aristocracy running rampant in the US wields. We already have a billionaire demagogue in office that is terrible. We don't need another one. eattherich
Gotta agree with Bloomberg
Go. AWAY.
He’ll be loved among Democrats, mostly because he’s right.
Ain’t nobody beating Trump
Trump will defeat you too!
And that's bullshit no regard for others the same with stop and frisk he's a rich clown.
No candidate as emerged really but at this point most people are like anybody but trump except the Trump suckers
ALL EXCEPT BERNIE, YOU CLOWN.
Please if this guy cared he would just putting money in a candidate he believed in,this is a total false flag operation to stop the progressive movement. You want another 4 years of more of the same? Vote Bloomberg, or Joe Roach.
Go sit on your pile of cash, Mike.
Americans DO NOT want any dis-connected Millionaire$ as their President.
DNC strategy: 1. Nuke 2020 2. $$$ 2020-24 3. Clinton v Trump's rec 2024
Only if they turn into hamberders.
biggest liar wins
Really another billionaire disrupting the Democratic process with self indulgence. These guys are a menace to society.
OK Tumor...
If Bloomberg has donated to GOP candidates, then throws his hat in the ring for president, and then says things like this, it makes me think he's playing on Trump's team. He's there to stir the pot and cause confusion and isn't a serious contender for the job.
Never liked him as the Mayor. Full of himself.
In which universe is this clown a contender?
and nobody should buy an election. And, you are not a real Democrat.
Lol I forgot he was running
Not true!--NOT Biden. And that is a terrible thing for a Democrat running to defeat Trump to be saying..
Good thing he's not full of himself...
Yawn
It’s White House privilege.
'Contender' ? on which planet? What is wrong with you people?
Bloomberg will never get my vote because of his racist'stop and frisk' policy.
imho, MikeBloomberg has been sucking on eggs. and can continue to do so.
