The gloves are off in the escalating competition between President Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg, with Trump taking shots at the former New York mayors physical stature and Bloombergs presidential campaign calling the president a pathological liar.
Kevin Sheekey, Bloombergs campaign manager, responding to an interview in which Trump insulted the former mayor, suggested their strategy of getting under the presidents skin was bearing fruit. The skirmish between Trump and Bloomberg comes as the former mayor kicked off a whirlwind tour Monday of states not yet a top focus for his Democratic competitors: California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. While the rest of the Democrats anxiously watch the results come in from the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses on Monday, Bloomberg will be in Sacramento, Fresno and the Los Angeles area calling attention to Californias mail-in and early voting periods that start this week.
Bloombergs stops in California, Pennsylvania and Michigan this week illustrate how Bloomberg is sidestepping the early states in favor of delegate-rich states that hold their primary contests later in the year and general election battlegrounds that Democrats will need to defeat Trump in November.
In an illustration of Bloombergs no-holds-barred strategy, he planned to campaign in northern, central and southern California in the course of a single day Monday, taking a coterie of reporters along with him on a chartered aircraft.

(22,166 posts)It was wonderful to see that someone doesn't hold back the punches. Donnie boy deserves every bit of crap he gets, he deserves it and far more than he actually gets.
Perhaps w/ the Iowa mess, maybe Bloomberg was pretty prescient in skipping over Iowa and avoiding this whole mess in Iowa.
Credit to Iowa though, is deserved. They have stepped up to the plate, admitted their mistake(s) and / or issue(s), and vow to fix/resolve. Too bad that it would happen during the first major democratic event in the 2020 presidential campaign (that voting occurred). I was very disappointed by this fact, for perception matters quite a bit and when your best face put forth is a slew of problems ... it doesn't make you look good.
