Stu Varney: Why I believe Bloomberg will win the Democratic nomination in 2020 Fox News, Dec 3, 2019, Stu Varney
Fox Business host Stuart Varney revealed his 2020 predictions as the country gears up for a heated election year.
"I think this is a split party, I think Bloomberg is the nominee," Varney said Tuesday about the Democrats, "and I think Trump wins big time in November."
Appearing on Fox Nation's "Reality Check" with host David Webb, Varney discussed the current "divide" within the Democratic party after former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially launched his bid for the presidency late last month.
"Think about what's happening to the Democrat party," said Varney. "You've got two candidates for the presidency who are socialists and along comes this man who is ... the 11th richest person in the world ... so you've got the socialists, going up against the billionaires. That is a totally divided party."
Following months of speculation over a potential Bloomberg run, the billionaire businessman officially declared his candidacy with a massive ad buy totaling over $130 million — which fueled accusations by many, including his opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., of "trying to buy the election."
"Money talks in politics, it really does," Varney agreed. "You can do a lot of damage or good for your side if you chuck a couple of hundred million dollars here or there — and that's exactly what Mike Bloomberg is going to do," he explained.
I think mini-Mike gets the nod, too. I'm just not sure when. It may have to go to the convention floor.
But even though he's anti-gun, pro-global warming restrictions, pro-nanny state, pro-abortion, pro-China and pro-tax, I think he loses at least 1/2 of Bernie's supporters.
Yes, I think Little Mike will probably be the Dem nominee. A billionaire white man.... not a woman, not a person "of color", not a raving Socialist, not a gay person... I can't see how a seemingly large segment of the D Party can support him - with passion anyway. The man is as boring as white bread too.

I think it will have to be a convention play... just don’t see Dem voters picking him..... we’ll see....
