LAS VEGAS - Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said on Saturday Mike Bloomberg would not generate the “excitement and energy” needed to win the White House, focusing on a rival still not fully participating in the race.
“The simple truth is that Mayor Bloomberg, with all his money, will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat Donald Trump,” Sanders said at a Democratic party gala. Nevada will hold on Feb. 22 the next contest in the state-by-state race to pick a Democratic opponent for Republican President Trump in November’s election.
Sanders’ remarks appeared dismissive of other candidates who did speak at the forum. They included former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who raced Sanders to a photo finish in the Iowa caucus and trailed him only narrowly in New Hampshire earlier this month.
BernieSanders SenSanders People4Bernie Quit disparaging your competition!! You can distinguish your view without doing so. Please don't lose my support.
Ive heard lots of buzz about Bloomberg’s ability to run trump out of White House. And loving that he hits back in trumps arena
The potential to beat a dictator excites me.
If TheDemocrats TomPerez don’t field a candidate who can beat Trump, it will make BernieSanders SenSanders argument mute! No interest in altruistic ideas spending $ not grounded in reality. Election is singly about purging most corrupt POTUS in our history! Bloomberg2020
Agreed!
I agree 💯% !! No Bil-naires! $ begets $. The Bil-naires need to pay taxes & we need to abolish Citizens United!
Not true, he would excite my vote against him.
but bernie doesnt either ..... so theirs that
Yeah, and you're really exciting yourself!
You need a lunatic like Bernie Sanders that has FAIRY TALE IDEAS and a HATRED for 'The Rich' people that run this country with jobs. Something Bernie Sanders has NEVER had a real job. Welfare to Mayor to Senator.
In a Trump v Bloomberg race, there is no lesser of 2 evils candidate. If Bloomberg wins the nomination, the Democratic party is pro-kleptocrat & pro-oligarch, end of story. It will destroy the Democratic party by suppressing Dem base, and Trump wins re-election. NeverBloomberg
He’s wrong...the energy to beat trump is enough
Im voting blue, no matter who.
I agree. Bernie is like 8 inches taller than Mini Mike.
A chance of defeating trump will - and Bernie is not that chance.
That's true. But anything is more exciting than Socialism.
I don’t need to be excited about a candidate. I just need to be convinced that he/she has no vulnerabilities that will sink his/her presidential campaign. Bernie’s past hug w/ the SovU & commies will make him lose. We need to win—for the republic’s sake.
I am surprised Bernie has been let out of the care home.
BernieSanders and his minions the Bernie Bros. should be attacking realDonaldTrump instead of wasting time on this.
Bernie is wrong. Bloomberg is already exciting voters via his ad campaign waged in later voting states. He has reached ahead of the other candidates via multi-media platforms. Voters are energized someone is coming after Trump hard. I’m not pro Bloomberg but I see his impact.
I’m excited by what Mike is doing, could care less about the attacks from Bernie and his crew, and I vote in Dem primary and general elections.
Money makes the world go around. Ya les mandéel video.
Beat them, Bernie!
He is way more exciting than anyone left in the field, and he doesn’t spend every day attacking Dems.
good point!
Says the old-man peddling the same promises of 'free-stuff' for decades that will realistically never be 'free-stuff' under his administration. Let's move on. Dog-whistles for any purists out there? Anyone?
Bloomberg is a far-right fascist who stripped NYC residents of their First Amendments rights and sent the police in to beat the crap out of us for protesting Wall Street corruption
Actually that's just Bernie Sanders opinion. Kinda like when Trump claims shit with nothing to back it up. There are people excited about Mike Bloomberg in the race.
Except he is rising in the polls and Bernie has maxed out his support. So, whatever.
He certainly doesn't excite me. All Americans should be wary of a billionaire attempting to buy an election. Especially one that tries to pay for memes
Bloomberg is the one to beat T! Boom!
Bernie is exciting me to not vote for Bernie.
Bloomberg will stop and frisk voters.
I've already seen countless number of people tweet out that if Bloomberg wins the primary, they won't vote for him.
Bloomberg is the monopoly man
Ok, but would you all please slow down in your attempts to tear down Michael Bloomberg! This man is fighting fire with fire and saying things about Trump that Bernie cannot say. Don't kick him out of the race until he's damaged Trump a little more!
That old communist who was so close to Moscow won't excite crowds either. Except for complete idiots.
You can’t buy yourself the presidency
He would excite me to leave the Democratic Party.
.As befits a grumpy old Trotskyite Entryist, Sen. BS has no appreciation of the power of billions of dollars to excite the masses of voters with lavish media, meeting sandwiches, paid canvassers, 'walking around money' aka street money on election day, free rides to polls, etc.
And you’re boring as hell!
Vermin Supreme is more exciting.
..... but an old fart with discredited ideas and one foot in the grave will?
4 those who want the socialist revolution(Sanders) to come to power in our country,are you on notice that it will be necessary to change our National Constitution? Do not get carried away by beautiful words that are not, want to know what is worse than Trump?then vote for Sanders
Powerful words.
But he excites the establishment.
A one-celled organism that could beat Trump would excite me.
That's the point
This had not happen to ANYONE else on the campaign not even Trump...
Very true! Bernie 2020!
Give me a break. Bloomberg can't excite voters but he can? I am sure that Trump is hoping that Sanders gets nominated.
Oh Bernie.
Says the old communist!!!
100%
Bloomberg doesn't scare off most Democrats either.
Bernie=Moron!!! Communist!!!
I'm pretty excited about voting for the guy who can possibly CRUSH Trump. I don't need angry, screaming, 'exciting?' candidates. I'm also tired of hearing about how young people have to be EXCITED to vote. Trump is 'exciting'! Nuff said. I want realistic solutions not 'Utopia'
Counterpoint: most voters don’t want an exciting President.
Not True! We are excited about an absolutely accomplished individual who has the integrity to lead, holds a world view, respectful of other nations & cultures; in short, he can WIN so we can remove the most corrupt POTUS in our history! MikeBloomberg RightMatters
📌
Well considering Mike CAN win, has the resources, insight & intelligence - I’m excited! He may not be perfect - but for Dems, he is the tool for getting rid of Trump. THAT is EXCITING!
anybodybutBernie
I’m not so sure about that. He is taking it to Trump and that is exciting. We want to find the best person who can win. We‘ll see how he looks on the debate stage against the other candidates.
🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
I’m excited and I’m a voter.
Sanders may be right but I'd still prefer to hear about why he's a better candidate than why Bloomberg isn't.
He is Short----He will never be President and neither will this communist pig Sanders
He is right. The winner must be able to meme! Bloomberg can't meme, and Sanders is a meme.
He don't have to Bernie .. He will try to buy them..
He seems to be exciting the voters a lot more than Bernie does
damn straight
And by “excite voters” he means not going to offer hand outs to fix all of their bad decisions - free college free housing eliminate student debt free utopian society 😂😂😂
WAIT UNTIL THE TEA PARTY HEARS ABOUT THIS: US debt exceeds $23 trillion, having increased by $3 trillion (more than 16%) during Trump's 3 yrs of presidential incompetence & fiscal irresponsibility Trump’s lifelong record of bankrupting continues 02 FBR
People more involved. They want truth. People are serious around the primary elections. They want fairness, they want their voices to be heard WE ARE AWAKE .. CAN'T STOP US NOW Protests with people finding solidarity and love among each other
I’m not a voter but he excites me
😒😒😒
So true
BernieSanders Remember electability claimwas you would attract more voters? Your IA, NH vote totals were off by 50% vs. '16. Once voters had other options they bolted. 3 yrs of chaos is more than enough reason to vote, if not, country has even bigger issues than we thought.
He's right, but Bloomberg IS trying to buy hype. I'm sure everyone's socials are featuring a billion Bloomberg ads. Exciting candidates: Bernie, Amy Mid-tier: Pete, Warren Snoozefest: Biden, Bloomberg, Steyer. Fact is, money doesn't buy hype.
Bloomberg has no personality. All he wants is buy the election buy the clueless stupid voter & become boss of evil empire & use AF1 urinal & flush the country down the toilet! Bloomberg with his billions!
You have to give Bloomberg a LITTLE respect. I mean just because he has tiny little hands and tiny little toes doesn't mean he can't win. Those nasty little short people have dreams. They got nobody to love, but they have dreams!
But his hundreds of millions, so far, ad binge excites a lot of media executives. That excitement will make its way onto memos & talking points. Not sure if a smart move seeing how they did it for free for Trump in '16. But when you got more cash than charisma, don't play safe.
I’ll probably vote bernie if warren doesn’t revive, but he doesn’t excite me. When his agenda stalls, his supporters will attack dems instead of republicans
Bloomberg's anti Trump ads and progressive charitable giving are both very exciting. The way he has promoted practices harmful to minorities and women is very distressing. His ads make me think he may be in the strongest position to defeat Trump. Bernie too communist to win.
Nothing excites voters like an older man telling them a younger man won’t excite them. Reuter’s, I think Twitter has beat you to the punch on every story in the past 3 years.
Kishne Inko IAS select kiya ek galti bar bar jise Country and State me difference nahi pata
No, just beat Trump is all.
Bloomberg is that selfish 1% super richest! definitely NOT him !
Bloomberg excites me like a fox excites a rabbit
Yeah nothing say excitement like a second heart attack.
