philanthropists on the planet and as you noted, he was a successful mayor. i think what this is about isn t about buying an election and it s about having the platform and ability for mike bloomberg to tell voters who he is and what he can do for them. spending obviously affords him the ability to do that and this is mike bringing his story to a broad audience. this obviously makes him a prime target for senators warren and sanders who argue there s too much money in politics and too much power among the wealthy. how do you how does mayor bloomberg look at this race and see that this is the moment in the democratic party that voters want a billionaire to participate in? i think this is a moment in the democratic party where democratic voters have to make sure that they can get behind somebody who can beat donald trump. that s why mike bloomberg is in this race. he respects the other democrats who are running and he s coming out of the gate viewing this as him versus donald trump
today, the president extemper and the you can compare them with what someone wrote for him versus attacking which is he is comfortable with. senator brown and the mayor were badmouthing him and his visit. he creates that because he is more comfortable with a foil. he is not comfortable being the comforter in chief. he is not comfortable going in and spending time with victims and not have a fight come out of it. the president saw there were a number of people protests against him in the local communities. he needed someone he can push back at. he pushed back at joe baden. even a fox news anchor and also pushed back and fought against the senator from ohio and the mayor of the local community in part because he is frustrated. he spent hours on the plane watching all of the coverage of protests and people not happy that he was fl. and he wanted to have something to push back on. and that s why he created a foil and spend so much time attacking local officials, because the
to get attacked. he s going to get attacked by the gop members who are more interested in trying to kill the messenger then get to the messenger s findings and i will be keeping track at home or on the air as to how many times those gop members actually ask questions that have nothing to do with mueller s findings but rather serve as a distraction to attack him or origins of the case. for the democrats, look, we ve always said there s value in having mueller repeat portions of the report, but i can t emphasize enough how important it is to craft questions that get him inching outside of his report and talking about things like why there were apparently different sets of rules for him versus for the attorney general? and whether the attorney general pulled the rug out from under him or not, and what that looked like and whether or not when you say no obstruction, no collusion, whether that s actually true. so that s crucial if we re going to get beyond this confirmation bias, people sim
where for the first time, he started calling her names and trying to depict her as something she s not. and i think he was escalating, which doesn t surprise me, it reminded me a lot of those few final months of him versus hillary clinton. where it went to, she s crazy, she s unstable, her health is bad. it s a litany of words that he calls people in general, but about women in particular. and i don t think it was a surprise to see him go to that. i think the question is going to be, does pelosi avoid doing what other people have done, which is start trying to call him names back. and nobody really wins when they try to do that against him. didn t she try to do that. didn t she try to depict him as unstable? she was doing it in this kind of calm way of, i pray for him, i worry for him. there was a tweet from her account yesterday, after someone tweeted out her as a mess, and
he is the guy who he says speaks against political correctness. well, this is what he s doing. this is what his folks like to hair. they like to hear attacks on democrats, they like to hear irreverence and i think this is the act he s been doing all along that niece the primary. the other thing he s doing is establishing himself or portraying himself as the republican candidate. inevitability. and the general election, him versus hillary clinton. just when we re focused on the primary. that s good for him. but there s always a reason why trump goes after somebody. something sets him off. let me play for you what i think set trump off initially and it had nothing to do with sexism. it s what hillary clinton said at a debate. he is becoming isis best recruiter. they are going to people, showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. now listen to this. now, obviously there was no video at the time that existed. that
