Future Sanders attacks on Bloomberg - Christie on ABC This week

CHRISTIE: Because, let me tell you something, Bernie Sanders is a lot of things. He's not stupid. And if it comes down to Sanders emerging from these first three, let me tell you what you're going to see on TV from Sanders, you're going to see --

Mike Bloomberg endorsing Rudy Giuliani, you're going to see him endorsing George W. Bush, you're going to see him endorsing John McCain, and not lukewarm, enthusiastic. If you're telling me that the energized part of the Democratic Party is going to go, oh, hell, we can trust Mike Bloomberg, we can trust Mike Bloomberg, no one trusts Mike Bloomberg, OK, because Mike Bloomberg is for Mike Bloomberg. He was Republican when it was convenient, and was cuddled up to Rudy Giuliani. And then when it was not so great to be a Republican during the Iraq War, he becomes an independent. And then when he's not an independent anymore, because that doesn't work,. he becomes a Democrat.

We don't need billionaires buying elections, especially when those same billionaires were registered Republicans a decade ago supporting and endorsing candidates like GW Bush.

3. I think Bloomberg is perfectly willing to take the gloves of with Sanders.

There is so much oppo on Sanders the Democrats have been unwilling to use for fear of alienating Sanders fans. I don't think that really worries Bloomberg too much and he will hit back hard.
