NYC Mayor Bloomberg On Fox: Birther Issue A ‘Terrible Mistake’ For Republicans
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared on Fox News Sunday and host Chris Wallace tried to get his opinion on whether he was still a “big fan” of Donald Trump. Bloomberg wiggled free from answering whether he likes the idea of Trump as a presidential candidate, but did stress that he thinks the Birther strategy is a losing one.
Bloomberg matter-of-factly stated that President Obama was born here. Furthermore, on making Obama’s birth certificate a campaign issue, Bloomberg warned:
“I think the Republicans are making a terrible mistake in making this a big issue. We have immigration, we have the deficit, we have the economy. Those are the things that the public cares about. . . . If the Republican party doesn’t start addressing that, they will lose and they deserve to.”
Bloomberg admits some of the side issues make for “good theater,” but he’s confident the American public is smart enough to want to focus on the more important topics. Yet given Bloomberg himself was once rumored to be an independent force in the 2012 election, might his critique of Trump’s strategy be partially attributable to missing some of the spotlight?
