1. boy....

did t-rump ever chose the wrong man to have as an enemy.......how damn dumb!!!

[PJMcK]

3. Donald Trump is an idiot. (n/t)

[63splitwindow]

4. Bloomberg could BUY Don the Con Tower and evict him.

[phylny]

5. Maybe Donald found out that it's not just

Bloomberg's bank account that's bigger than Trump's.

[63splitwindow]

7. So, So true...

[phylny]

11. OMG, you win the Internet today! n/t

14. Oh man, yes, this is just pure win!

[Solomon]

33. Aw damn, I just spit coffee all over my

phone. Damn.

[napkinz]

40. rec!

[Cha]

20. lol

[roamer65]

2. Be my guest, "Mr. Small."

Bloomberg is going to fire right back at you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Bloomberg might be short, but I bet his hands are bigger than Trump's.

[kestrel91316]

18. Yeah, like about nine sizes bigger.

[writes3000]

8. I knew Bloomberg was the one who got under his skin! That's who he wanted to hit!

[Wounded Bear]

25. Trump fancies himself to be one of "them"...

As I understand it, most of the really weathy folks in NYC wouldn't give him the time of day.

Not a huge Bloomberg fan, but that was a pretty good throwdown.

Trump better watch his ass. Bloomberg will eat him alive.

[wheniwasincongress]

9. Trump hits where it hurts!

I'm sure Bloomberg has never heard anyone make fun of his height before, this has got to hurt

[uponit7771]

10. Benedict Donald should stick to him... this guy is an idiot

[ChoppinBroccoli]

12. I've Started Calling Him "Dumb Donald Drumpf"........

..........or just "Dumb Donald" every chance I get. I think it rolls off the tongue much nicer than his "Crooked Hillary" crack. The only possible downside is it might have originated with Bill Cosby. I think Cosby may have had a character named Dumb Donald, either in his stand-up act or it may have been one of the Cosby Kids on Fat Albert.

[tblue37]

23. I prefer Traitor Trump, Treasonous Trump, Don the Con, or Deadbeat Don. nt

[GreenEyedLefty]

32. "Dumb Donald" reminds me of the Match Game

Gene Rayburn: "Dumb Donald is so dumb..."
Audience: "How dumb is he???"

[duncang]

35. I think dipshit donnie fits him.

[4lbs]

13. I'll bet all my assets on the cool Jewish guy that never went bankrupt,

and turned NYC's $6 billion deficit into a $3 billion surplus, improved public education, and addressed poverty, when he was mayor for 3 terms.

[duncang]

15. I wonder if the very repected governor he talked to

Was the former governor of New Jersey Republican Tom Kean.

[63splitwindow]

16. I'm thinking the current one. The guy pictured here with Don the Con behind him...

[Cha]

21. lol..yeah, right!

[duncang]

31. I don't know if it's chrissie. He said the reason he'd make a great prez. is he's unpredictable.

And ISIS would have no chance against him.
The other day he was blasting him for being the worst governor ever the other day. Yeah I know he got the wrong governor when he said that. But it fits in with his master plan of unpredictable being by praising him today. Something like that would make sense to him. You really have to warp your mind to work out donnie logic.

[Princess Turandot]

39. Perhaps Pence? nt

[angrychair]

17. So he picking fights with Bloomberg and Cuban

Two men who, we as Democrats, may not always agree with, are self-made billionaires that can buy and sell tRump 10 times over.

[NanceGreggs]

19. Given all the jokes going around ...

... about Trump's tiny hands, and the probable relationship to the size of his private parts, I would have steered clear of any references to a "very little guy".

Just sayin' is all.

[Cha]

22. Exactly.. but we know trump. Not the brightest bulb in the socket.

[malaise]

24. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[liberal N proud]

26. The very juvenile Trump tries to be bring everyone down to his level with nicknames

Little is something he likes to tag on to a lot of them.

I can't image someone with such thin skin and so petty to have access to such weapons of mass destruction as is our defense system.

[dubyadiprecession]

27. How about "self made man" to describe Bloomberg as a man that didn't need his father to write...

him a check to start his way to becoming a billionaire, like trump did.

[maxrandb]

30. Bulls#@t!

There's no "effing" way that Trump is a "billionaire", and I won't believe that he is until he releases his tax returns.

He's a fraud and a con man. If banks ever stopped lending him money, he'd be under a bridge with a cardboard sign!

[auntpurl]

28. Excellent. I hope Bloomberg continues to stump for Hillary

throughout the campaign season. I thought it was extremely savvy to have him in such a prominent position at the convention and I think he could reach a lot of folks who are just slightly outside the tent and disillusioned with Trump.

[Ilsa]

29. And Hillary's Jackie Kennedy quote called Trump

Either small or little. It was perfect.

Her speech was wonderful and interesting. Trump is boring.

[leftynyc]

34. He's screwing with the wrong guy

All Bloomberg has to do is remind people he - a actual self made man - can buy and sell don the con several times over.

[Paladin]

36. I get the sense that Trump's time of peak effectiveness has passed.

Even his snotty nick-names sound ineffective.

[madokie]

37. Only tRump

doesn't know that, well some of his, what do they call them? tRumpitears or something like that maybe doesn't know that yet

[karynnj]

38. This is the very definition of not Presidential

Speaking of wanting to punch someone and then calling him little sounds more like a not very bright middle school bully.

In some ways, this is like his twitter war with Warren. All it does is expose Trump's weaknesses and immaturity.

[kskiska]

41. I think Bloomberg's definitive put-down was,

"I'm a New Yorker. I know a con when I see one."
