A fake Indian, a gay guy, a old guy who had heart attack four months ago, a verbally abusive Senator, a confused former Vice President, and a super duper rich gun grabber walk into a debate auditorium…
There was a debate showcasing the Democrats’ presidential wannabees last night. I watched it because I wanted to see how the candidates handled Mike Bloomberg, a new contestant in the presidential sweepstakes. Prior to the debate last night, Bloomberg had avoided public appearances in favor of buying tons of media, paying for influencers to gush over him and otherwise spending his treasure chest to get the nomination. At the debate last night, Bloomberg had to answer questions and face his opponents and his opponents were out for blood because they had actually worked for their votes and support. Generally speaking, people don’t like it when they feel cheated out their hard work. The irony is lost on the Democrats, I am sure.
Now remember, the corporate media and desperate Democrats were propping up Bloomberg as the one candidate who is viable (not a stark raving progressive) who can presumably beat Trump. Bloomberg was the darling, the special one, the favorite. And then the debate happened.
To say Bloomberg tanked is an understatement, he was unprepared for the most obvious attacks against him. It was pathetic.

Sick burn. Bloomberg was caught off guard. Here is how I would have responded: Senator Warren, would you support voiding the NDAs signed by capitol hill staffers who were paid off after being harassed or abused by their employers who are elected office holders? At the very least, would you support releasing the names of the elected officials who victimized staffers at the tax payers’ expense? Yeah, I thought so.
I think the “winner” if there is one, was Elizabeth Warren. She came out fighting and she came off looking very tight. Biden is the other loser after Bloomberg. He has to be finished soon. His performance was “meh”and he needed more than that to show he is viable. Consider how popular Obama was/is. How can Obama’s partner be doing so poorly? Put a fork in him.
As for the substance of the debate, it was business as usual: expensive social programs, open borders, free health care and climate pablum. Lather, rinse, repeat. The caucus in Nevada is coming up this Saturday and Bernie is leading the pack. Who will survive the Nevada caucus?
Did I miss something? I didn’t hear any plans to fix Americas problems. Just to create more.
OH, keep it up Dems. Make sure everybody is mic'ed up. Thanks so much, one and all.
Breadline Bernie’s gonna win Nevada too. I don’t think any of these other gimps can stop him.
I wonder if Democrats noticed that. Do they even care given their hatred for Trump?
Blooming Idiot is so used to his money having those around him kissing his ass (right over the wallet) that he is unprepared to have folks who have no fear of pissing him off...wish we could vote in both primaries so i could also help boost Bernie - want to see trump tear him apart...hope they have a crash cart at the debates if that happens...
That’s the rats MO. ... Create massive problems where none exist then pretend to fix said problems. It’s sad that the rats have people don’t understand this and vote for them.
Bloomberg can’t be killed by a bad debate performance. He’ll stay in until he gets bored.
Bloomberg is not a serious candidate. He knows he can not win with his train load of baggage. So why is he doing this?
Simple, he is the front man for the DNC. He plans on being the “kingmaker” at the brokered convention.
He is setting up a TURNKEY political operation for whoever the DNC has picked to be their candidate.
His ad buys are so over the top it he is making it difficult for anyone else to buy a spot. Same with him grabbing any available political staff, paying more and promising a job until the election even if he is NOT the candidate.
When the candidate if finally picked Bloomberg could turn over a complete TURNKEY operation to this person who could not openly do it for themselves and they can hit the campaign running.
Not going to happen you say, well the DNC is not the most honest political party around so it is possible.
I think this primary will expose the inner divisions within the Dem party.
The various factions (feminists, gays, transgenders, blacks, Hispanics, supporters of illegal immigration) will be at each others throats by summer.
I agree. The guy is a multi billionaire. A bad debate will not knock him out. We’rre stuck with him for now. If he has a terrible Suoer Tuesday he will use his money for Trump attack ads. He wants to replace Soros.
he is the most dangerous opponent to Trump
They believe it was because he was rich.
They believe is was because he was “mean and nasty”
And so they find a candidate that meets those criteria.
But they are wrong. Trump won on a message of HOPE not on promises to limit how much sugary drinks you can have.
Trump won on allowing Americans to be free from Government regulations while Bloomberg wants more government regulations.
Bloomberg is an old white rich dude. Those qualificationsI may have got him somewhere in the past, but not now.
I stand by my statement, Bloomberg is a replacement for Biden, a place holder until the convention.
Since there isn’t a Republican Primary in SC I’m still trying to figure out who I am going to vote for in the SC Primary.
Any thoughts? I’m leaning towards Crazy Joe but maybe Little Mike might be an option.
“Did I miss something? I didn’t hear any plans to fix Americas problems.”
What would they say? “I will continue Trump’s border and economic policies and hire Trump for all future negotiations with other countries?”
I bet most voters don’t watch any of the nonsense and just watch Trump.
