IN THEORY, Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire and former New York mayor, could be the ideal Democratic presidential candidate to beat President Donald Trump in 2020.

If the boorish and ignoramus Drama Queen who currently occupies the White House is a complete contrast to the studious and classy Barack "No-Drama" Obama, Mr Bloomberg, a mediator by nature and a gentleman, could be considered to be the anti-Trump.
