‘That isn’t a saying anywhere’: Michael Bloomberg tries to relate to Texans and it doesn’t go well

Yep, Bloomberg went to Texas, and brought his downhome style with him:

Mike Bloomberg: "Now if I were from Texas, I might say Donald Trump is scared as a cat at the dog pound. But since I'm from New York, I put it this way. We're scaring the living hell out of him, and we're just starting right now." pic.twitter.com/HmNwKuTPZL

So, is that really a Texas thing?

"How do you do, fellow Texans?"

I have lived in Texas for 31 years and not once have I ever heard a soul say those words in that order. https://t.co/cX5PAMGHez

Also, I’ve never heard people here in Texas say this? https://t.co/bdubCX5PUT

Maybe Bloomberg’s just relying in his improvisational relatability instincts to connect with different voters. *Eye roll*

"Now if I were from Texas, I might say that there Donald Trump feller is about as jittery as a Baptist choir director at a honky tonk on 10 cent beer night…" https://t.co/d7RPASSSVE
