18. Trump sees hypocrisy as a tactic

So I don't' think he would have as much trouble with Bloomberg as many assume.

Trump can say to Bloomberg "What are doing criticizing my positions? You had these same positions not that long ago!"

Trump can point out Bloomberg's racism, his authoritarianism. Bloomberg's cozy ties to the wealthy (including Trump)

Does this make Trump a hypocrite if he did this? Of course. But name me one-time hypocrisy ever hurt Trump politically? The goal, after all, isn't to get people to vote for trump. Its to make potential Bloomberg voters so disgusted they don't vote for anyone.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
