It's a mistake for Trump to criticize Bloomberg for something he was right about.

Let Bernie go after him on it.

Trump should hit Bloomberg where he is wrong like telling people how big their sodas can be.

In this instance Trump is just using the same standard as the left. Twitter won't allow him to use leftist's standards.

And it would be the lead story on every news station and calls for resignation/dropping from the race would be so loud you could hear them on the moon

I saw it and not surprised. He's an elitist and one of the intelligentsia. He knows what best for all of us.

The xerox comment is racist as hell and frankly scary as hell that a prominent politician thinks this idea is ok

winners don't stop just because they have a 14pt lead in the 4th quarter. They keep scoring until the opponent gives up.

Trump is playing to ensure he wins a race where the other team is cheating like mad and the refs are helping.

Trump is just chumming the Dem-infested waters. They'll provide the frenzy unless suppression is successful.

Can't you just imagine the Sanders/Warren wing going volcanic on this shouting, "we can't afford another billionaire racist in the White House!"

The audio is 5 years old and no one has gone after him on it.

Now it's out in the open, let's see which candidates decided to jump on it.

The interesting development will be seeing whether Bloomberg tries to walk it back or whether he will own it.

This is correct. How he handles it is as important as him saying it.

Trump is shining a bright light on one of Bloomberg's reasonable positions.

I think it's a mistake.

Hed be better off waiting for Bloomberg to run away from the comments which he will have to do.

Then Trump can thump him for leaving a reasonable position to pander to nuts.

He said you can take the description and just blanket it and use that description to stop everyone who matches it, regardless of actual suspicions just because of their age and skin color.

How is that not racist?

Tactically correct., as a means of shoring-up his base.

But if Trump is really trying to woo minorities, is there a better approach (pragmatically) than screaming RACISM?
