Bloomberg campaign: We're on 'wartime footing' with Trump

[left-of-center2012]

The gloves are off in the escalating competition between President Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg, with Trump taking shots at the former New York mayor’s physical stature and Bloomberg’s presidential campaign calling the president a “pathological liar.”

Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg’s campaign manager, responding to an interview in which Trump insulted the former mayor, suggested their strategy of getting under the president’s skin was bearing fruit. The skirmish between Trump and Bloomberg comes as the former mayor kicked off a whirlwind tour Monday of states not yet a top focus for his Democratic competitors: California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. While the rest of the Democrats anxiously watch the results come in from the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses on Monday, Bloomberg will be in Sacramento, Fresno and the Los Angeles area calling attention to California’s mail-in and early voting periods that start this week.

Bloomberg’s stops in California, Pennsylvania and Michigan this week illustrate how Bloomberg is sidestepping the early states in favor of delegate-rich states that hold their primary contests later in the year and general election battlegrounds that Democrats will need to defeat Trump in November.

In an illustration of Bloomberg’s no-holds-barred strategy, he planned to campaign in northern, central and southern California in the course of a single day Monday, taking a coterie of reporters along with him on a chartered aircraft.

1. Go Mike, Go! I love your fat pictures of donnie boy in your latest campaign video against rump...

It was wonderful to see that someone doesn't hold back the punches. Donnie boy deserves every bit of crap he gets, he deserves it and far more than he actually gets.

Perhaps w/ the Iowa mess, maybe Bloomberg was pretty prescient in skipping over Iowa and avoiding this whole mess in Iowa.

Credit to Iowa though, is deserved. They have stepped up to the plate, admitted their mistake(s) and / or issue(s), and vow to fix/resolve. Too bad that it would happen during the first major democratic event in the 2020 presidential campaign (that voting occurred). I was very disappointed by this fact, for perception matters quite a bit and when your best face put forth is a slew of problems ... it doesn't make you look good.

2. He should use some cash then

Getting dirt on him , and exposing him. That's what'll hurt the most, his dirt.
