'I think Mike Bloomberg is best-suited to take on Donald J. Trump.' Former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson explains his decision to support Bloomberg in 2020, saying of President Trump, 'We are in the grip, Anderson, of a sick, ignorant man.'

Sam Donaldson is the former co-anchor of the ABC News program,"This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts." He served as ABC News' Watergate correspondent and chief White House correspondent. Donaldson has been recognized with four Emmy Awards, two Peabody Awards, and the Edward R. Murrow Award. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion at CNN.

For 52 years, I was a reporter in Washington, covering every president from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush. I did my best to report on both Democratic and Republican administrations honestly and fairly. I moved to DC two weeks after JFK was inaugurated — and from my earliest days on the job vowed to be completely independent from the political process to preserve my integrity as a journalist. I didn't attend fundraisers or donate to candidates. I didn't even register with a political party. When I retired seven years ago, I fully expected to remain a political observer. But there is too much at stake in the next election to remain silent.

Agree with Donaldson

Bs bs bs

Trump will win in 2020, sorry CNN

If we only care about beating Trump & not what the new president would actually do while in office, why not just keep Trump? We don’t know what he’s going to do daily so...

Bloomberg doesn't have a chance against trump stopandfrisk

Without the black vote Dems won’t win. Bloomberg ain’t getting it. But go on and take their representation for granted.

Luckily, normal Americans disagree with the “newsman”.

Bloomberg while talented will have to flip flop often from decisions he made while being mayor of nyc to gain a wider reach. He may flip flop one too many times leaving similar to JohnKerry

FakeNewsCNN

Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Finally a thoughtful and educated response with actual data to back-up the ongoing challenges to his history Bloomberg2020 MikeBloomberg

Wait. Wait. I thought it was Avenatti? FakeNewsCNN

Goodness gracious me - has CNN been doing some grave-digging now! But still the same old bullshit! The hair doesn't look genuine either!

Delusional democraps 🤦‍♂️

He could've just saved all the pretentious posturing & told the truth. It's the same reason everyone that endorses MikeBloomberg endorse him. He's a billionaire & they either want his $ or want him 2 help them keep theirs. He will leave no trace of the middle class.

The big point is Trumps bragging about himself is dwarfed by a guy who is personally respected, worth at least 20-30 times more, who didnt inherit it and didnt screw people over thru bankruptcies and sleaze. And Trump knows it.

Hey you crazy folks at CNN, do not insult the millions of Americans who think the world of Trump. Tell Sam D. Minorities will NOT vote for MB.

Also if you enjoyed the midterm blue wave, feel free to thank MikeBloomberg

Who cares

MSM, put Bloomberg up there, Trump wins 🤣

😂

ewarren is the best candidate I see.

Sam supports a man who has paid 64 women to be quiet about sexual harassment . Sam you are a hypocrite

Lmmfao

40 lawsuits by 64 women. Hard pass on Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is a racist man who protects the interests of the billionaires' club. Do not embrace him or vote for him. The packaging is different but the contents are the same.

LoL sam’s DumbAssedness is on Full Display. He’s obviously a Hater of America and Her People. Hilariously Pathetic. MAGA

What’s on his head?

Please run Bloomberg, please. !

Mike ‘ China’ Bloomberg the questions no one is asking; how many Chinese spies does Bloomberg knowingly employe in the USA?

Sam & the others tell it like it is 😊

'He's sick, ignorant, mean and corrupt.'

Sam’s hair is legendary tonight

Yeah. It’s disgusting how people are considering Bloomberg. Ugh!

I will take a sick ignorant man any day over a do-nothing corrupt Democrat like this one!

No

هبل فيهم ترامب

How we forget.... 🤪😂🤣😂

Decisions, decisions. A white socialist or a white billionaire. And in the end the lefts championing of diversity will all be abandoned. Just like the pandering to the black community. All talk.

Q. Why endorse Bloomberg now? A. Because MikeBloomberg paid me to. BloombergIsTrump BloombergIsARepublican
