Trump believes the Democratic race is down to simply Bernie, Biden, Beto and Buttigieg

Donald Trump singled out four of his challengers for ridicule on Tuesday, mocking Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke and Bernie Sanders and predicting one of them will win the 2020 Democratic nomination.

‘Boy, you got some beauties there!’ he said during a speech in Louisiana about energy infrastructure. ‘Three hundred and fifty million people and that’s the best we can do?’

‘It’s going to be one of these people,’ he said. So far 23 different Democratic White House hopefuls have declared their candidacies.

He poked fun at O’Rourke for quickly losing what a month ago looked like juggernaut momentum. He jeered Sanders as a lunatic and sneered at Biden’s low-intensity campaign style.

And he scoffed at Buttigieg’s name, hinting that he believes the South Bend, Indiana mayor is too lightweight to warrant real criticism.

‘I think we’re going to win it big,’ he said, forecasting a second term in the White House.

‘I’m looking at the competition. You sort of dream about competition like that, but who knows?’

‘I got “Boot-edge-edge.” I got them all,’ he said.

Kicking O’Rourke when he’s down, he dumped on the former Texas congressman whose star has plummeted so fast that he appeared Monday in the second half of Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC program.

‘What the hell happened? Remember about four weeks ago he said, “I was made for this.” He was made for it! He was made to fall like a rock,’ Trump mocked.

‘Political geniuses, when you have to restart your campaign, history has said that that does not work out well, right?’ he asked.

Trump described himself last week as a ‘young, vibrant man.’ He said Tuesday that Biden, by comparison, has lost a step.

‘I don’t know what the hell happened to Biden,’ he said of the former vice president. ‘What happened to him? I’m looking, I said, “That doesn’t look like the guy I knew!”‘

Trump has derided Sanders, a Vermont senator, as short on marbles in the past, and continued the roasting on Tuesday.

‘You know, Bernie’s crazy! Bernie’s crazy!’ he said, drawing laughs from a hooting audience at a natural gas terminal.

‘But Bernie’s got a lot more energy than Biden, so you never know.’

‘Bernie’s got a lot of energy, but it’s energy to get rid of your jobs,’ he claimed.

‘Not good energy. You don’t like his energy.’

Trump seemed to rule out the possibility of Elizabeth Warren emerging from the pack of Democrats who now number 23 in all.

‘Pocahontas, I think, is probably out,’ he said, using his derogatory nickname for the Massachusetts senator who is now infamous among Republicans for falsely claiming American Indian heritage.

Trump has in recent months offered a direct attack on socialism, responding to the celebrity status of Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Both of those lawmakers describe themselves as democratic socialists, and regularly float policy proposals to match.

‘We do not believe in socialism, okay?’ Trump said Tuesday. ‘Is that alright to say?’

‘If we had socialism here, you’d have nothing standing,’ he said, gesturing to the natural gas terminal’s physical plant.

‘And if it was standing from previous generations, it would be falling down right now.’

You shouldn’t be concerned about it. I don’t think she will have much chance at all of winning the primary. Against Trump again? It would be a blowout. But this is absolutely her last chance and her ego will allow nothing less.

I would like to see ALL of Maine go to President Trump in 2020.

In 2016, President Trump carried Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.....80% of the state, 27,000 square miles....by 10 points and won one electoral vote.

Madame Hillary won the First CD and received one electoral vote. She won the statewide vote by 2.9% for two more electoral votes.

Go Trump!

AOC and Bernie are socialists.

What kind of socialists make almost 200k a year and have a few houses or apartments that no average person could come close to affording?

Do the IDIOTS that like them EVER wonder why these “socialists” aren’t sharing s...?

PDJT may be correct about the D’s being down to those 4.
And they’re all AWFULLY WEAK candidates, too.
Which concerns me.
I very much believe that the Puppetmeister bosses of the DNC (like SorozNazi, etc.) WANT A WINNER in 2020!
Just look at all the money and effort they’re investing trying to undermine, smear, and demoralize PDJT!

I think they will look at those 4 (and several more obviously weak or ineligible possible candidates) AND THAT THEY WILL FIND, GROOM, SELECT SOMEONE ELSE who can run much much stronger for them!

PDJT needs to be wary, mindful, and ALERT to a much stronger, better, more saleable D candidate suddenly appearing out of the blue!

Seriously!
the DNC controllers are almost certainly NOT going to invest millions of dollars on any of the current SUPER WEAK BOZO or ineligible candidates.

I think Trump’s handicapping ability are much greater than the average joe blow. So if he thinks he’s going to be up against somebody from group X, then that’s probably correct.

Whatever magic Bernie had in 2016....is about half the level of today. I saw some video of a Bernie gathering several weeks ago.....was maybe a crowd of 200 people. If he doesn’t show much attention in Iowa....he might be out by the 10th state of the primary.

I don’t think Buttplug and Beto will make it. My guess it will be Plugs and the Commie.

I still think there is a risk of Harris, however annoying she is.

Trump is having fun. He purposefully kept women and racial minorities of the list. Two old white geezers and two young loser white guys.

Mark my words, that will start discussions among the Dems themselves and tie them in knots.

Also, his inner Sesame Street said that the today is the day for "Letter B".

They aren’t Socialists. They are elitists that pander to Socialists.

I don’t care how often they put out the proper pronunciation, I still always see it as “Butt-gig” and think it was intentional. d;^)

"What sane person would vote for any of the ‘RAT candidates.(?)"

About 40% of those voting in the next election will vote dem. Most of them are woefully ill informed. A certain percentage, according to you and me, could be classed as insane.
