Trump-Loving CPAC’s Favorite Democratic Candidate Is Mike Bloomberg
The Conservative Political Action Conference, a yearly confab dedicated to all things on the right side of the aisle, is a bastion of support for President Trump’s re-election in 2020. Among the red dresses, dark suits, and MAGA hats, there aren’t many people who believe Trump can’t win another four years in the White House.
However, if forced to pick out a favorite in the Democratic field, many CPAC attendees—young and old—chose another New York businessman: Mike Bloomberg. The self-proclaimed conservatives cited the former New York mayor’s business acumen, his net worth, and his former GOP credentials as positive points about the Democratic presidential contender.
“I would pick Bloomberg, because I think he’s the most sane of them all,” Ron Fodor, a 67-year-old retiree, told The Daily Beast. “Basically because a wise man once said, ‘Be a success before you tell someone else how to be a success.’ I think Bloomberg, he’s been a success, there’s no doubt about it… He’s also a capitalist, where the other ones could swing to be more of a socialist, and that scares me.”
