I don't think there's any chance whatsoever. That's just not a way that you go and start building the coalition that the Sanders camp thinks that they can do. You don't start out by saying I've got 160 million people I'm going to take away the insurance plan that they love. HOLT: Mayor Bloomberg, can Senator Sanders beat President Trump? And how do you want to respond to what else he said?īLOOMBERG: I don't think there's any chance of the senator beating President Trump. Those are some of the reasons we have the strongest campaign to defeat Donald Trump. And that agenda says that maybe, just maybe, we should join the rest of the industrialized world, guarantee health care to all people as a human right, raise that minimum wage to a living wage of $15 bucks an hour, and have the guts to take on the fossil fuel industry, because their short-term profits are not more important than the future of this planet and the need to combat climate change. What our movement is about is bringing working-class people together, black and white and Latino, Native American, Asian American, around an agenda that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class. That is not a way you're going to grow voter turnout. Bloomberg had policies in New York City of stop and frisk which went after African-American and Latino people in an outrageous way. SANDERS: In order to beat Donald Trump, we're going to need the largest voter turnout in the history of the United States. Mayor Bloomberg is pitching himself as a centrist who says he's best positioned to win in November. Senator Sanders, the first question to you.

What hasn't changed: a majority of Democratic voters still say their top priority is beating President Trump. And there's a new person on the stage tonight, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a former Republican who spent millions of his own dollars to run in this race. Since the last time you all shared the stage, Senator Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, has surged into the lead nationally in the Democratic race.
