Trump lashes out at Democratic rivals during Colorado Springs rally
President Trump lashed out at his Democratic rivals during a nearly two-hour long rally in Colorado on Thursday night, using a contentious ninth debate the night before as fodder to attack many of his potential opponents in the general election.
"Mini Mike didn't do well last night," Mr. Trump said, referencing the barrage of attacks the former New York City mayor faced from candidates like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. "I was going to send him a note saying, 'It's not easy doing what I do, is it?'"
He also lashed out at Senator Amy Klobuchar, who he said "choked" in her debate performance. He mocked the Minnesota senator for on Wednesday during the Democratic debate, and he will hold a third rally Friday in Las Vegas.
Colorado Springs has been a stronghold for evangelical Christians — a key component of Mr. Trump's base.
The president's trip — part fundraising, part official event and part campaigning — comes days ahead of major primary contests. The Nevada GOP canceled its caucus contest this year, as did Arizona. California and Colorado will vote on Super Tuesday.
