Re: Mike Bloomberg for President?
Trump is a very formidable person. He is intimidating and very rude. There is nothing he won't say to intimidate an opponent. I don't think that many people used to civilized debate really have the skill to counter this on a live stage. I don't think many of the democratic nominees have a chance sadly. An opponent needs to be able to ridicule Trump and not be intimidated by the aggressive counter which would follow. I think Oprah Winfrey might have been able to do this with her ability to manipulate a live audience, but she's not running. Muhammad Ali might have been able to do it as well and maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger but that's not going to happen either. I don't know what Bloomberg is like in a confrontation. You would think he might be quite tough. He certainly has the wealth to put Trump down a notch. Its a bit sad when politics has been reduced to this but it has.
