Julian Castro Says on MSNBC That Bloomberg Is Trump's 'Wet Dream'

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/julian-castro-says-on-msnbc-that-bloomberg-is-trumps-wet-dream/

Castro stated that he thinks that Bloomberg is “the closest thing we have to a Donald Trump on the Democratic side… If you look at his weaknesses.”

“There are a lot of people out there that think that — maybe the best thing we can do is nominate a billionaire like Bloomberg because he has the resources. I think if you look at his record on race, on Wall Street, all of these sexual harassment complaints that were filed against him, he settled and has hush agreements with women on,” Castro continued.

“He is actually Donald Trump’s wet dream,” Castro stated with sincerity.


This is what I have been saying too. I think that people who are supporting Bloomberg only because they think he can beat Trump are sadly mistaken. If we want to beat Trump, Bloomberg is a very bad choice.

4. ridiculous on its face.

Mike is a real billionaire... funding is not an issue.

It's hard to paint Mike as a racist or misogynist AS DONALD TRUMP. It's a fine attack from our Democrats... but for Trump every one would just laugh at it.

Mike has more leadership skills and ran a very large and diverse city... whereas Trump has bankrupted at least 6 companies.

And Trump can't paint Mike as some wild eyed crazy communist or socialist...

9. I don't think that anyone is trying to compare Bloomberg to Trump.

The devil himself probably compares favorably to Trump. But what Castro is trying to say I think is that he is Trump's wet dream because Trump can beat him. And if Castro is right we better go looking for someone else.

12. Trump can beat Bernie.

Bernie is the only candidate running from our side that Trump will beat handily... if not in the popular vote... then in the EC...

it is not how many of us Califorians that Bernie will get to vote for him.. it's how many people in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Florida.
