Fmr. Hillary Adviser: Bloomberg Should Not Have Been on that Debate Stage

‘If you’re going to present yourself as the answer to Donald Trump, you have to be able to walk the walk, not just talk the talk’

RUSH EXCERPT:

REINES: “He shouldn’t have been on the debate stage, I’ve been saying to for weeks. When you go back to November when Bloomberg first jumped into the race as soon as he said he wasn’t taking contributions this was an issue because you can’t make the debate stage in the Democratic primary without doing so. And he said look, if the rules let me debate, I will. If they don’t, they don’t. This is not a man who wants to debate, he could have written a letter in Novi to the DNC, I want you to change the rules. If you’re going to present yourself as the answer to Donald Trump, you have to be able to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. What happened the other night, and look, I know some. People who work on his team, he’s got the smartest people in the world. What I bet is the first thing he said when he walked off the stage was I told you so. Because he probably said, look, I didn’t need to be there, and you know what? You told me I had to be there. Why did I have to be there? Because you’re worried about the press giving me a hard time. Now what?”
