Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg said Trump would easily defeat any of his other White House rivals in next year’s election, bluntly declaring the president would 'eat ‘em up’
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.
