Bloomberg Faces Searing Attacks At Free-For-All Democratic Debate
nbcnews.com ^ | Feb. 20, 2020

The Democratic presidential debate Wednesday night kicked off with fireworks, as every person on stage not named Mike Bloomberg attacking the former New York City mayor, who was participating in his first presidential face off.

The first hit at the NBC/MSNBC two-hour debate here came from frontrunner Bernie Sanders, who ripped Bloomberg for his record as mayor.

Next to swing at Bloomberg was Elizabeth Warren, who took aim at the mayor's past critical statements about women.

"I'd like to talk about who we're running against. A billionaire who calls women 'fat broads' and 'horse-faced lesbians,' and, no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump,” Warren said. "I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg."

Amy Klobuchar took her shot next.

"I've been told many times to wait my turn and to step aside," she said. "And I'm not going to do that now, and I'm not going to do that because a campaign memo from Mayor Bloomberg said, this morning, that the only way we get a nominee is if we step aside for him," she said.

Moments later, Pete Buttigieg offered his criticism for Bloomberg

"Let's put someone forward who is actually a Democrat," Buttigieg said.

You don’t even see him with a rent-a-ho.

My wife thinks the mayor is trying to grow a mustache.

Silly me, I thought Bloomberg would do better.

He CLEARLY underestimated the challenge and got his a$$ kicked.

Donald Trump wins yet another Democrat debate.

“You don’t even see him with a rent-a-ho.”

At 78, sex may just be a faded memory for him. Money was more his thing anyhow, even when his testicles were still functioning.

If the consultants think he needs some, he can always buy some kids testicles later in the campaign.

Finally! There is some life in the Dems debate. I bet they have higher ratings tonight than the previous one.

You mean in a "Lookig Louie/trainwreck/rubbernecking" sort of way. 😏😉😆

Definitely true about sex, but no need for companionship and affection?

I suspect that he isn’t very pleasant to hang around for long.

They are more influenced by debates than ads. We saw Kamala and Warren implode after bad debate performances. Keep an eye on Bloomberg’s poll numbers. I know where they are going.

Jeb is a good example of your thought. However, Bloomberg has already spent twice as much and is not through

This was a circular firing squad. Enjoy the show!

Time for more 2020 circular firing squads created by the Democrats!

Pull up a chair, sit down, have some popcorn, relax and watch their next circular firing squad.:

How the Iowa Caucuses Became an Epic Fiasco for Democrats.

The problems that beset the Democratic Party’s first state caucus of the 2020 presidential race ran far deeper and wider than one bad app and one bad/blotched/caucus!

Dem primaries are becoming circular firing squads!

Just Stand Back, and let them destroy each other!

Sit back and enjoy the dems in their new and upcoming circular firing squads!

There Are No Good Democrats, Anymore!

Thanks to Bonemaker for this great reality.

“She has never had to work to win an election. She has never had to accomplish anything in order to get re-elected. The Minnesota press takes care of that for her.”

Spot-on analysis.

Tom Steyer spent 200 million and got nowhere. The media is against Bloomberg and all the other candidates are launching vicious attacks against him. He is a dead man walking.

Lots of them. I think only older voters will vote for Bloomberg.

Bloomberg has no core values, he goes with the flow and just says whatever he thinks will get people to vote for him.

I used to accuse Rudy of the same thing. And maybe Rudy still is like that too, even though right now he’s playing on the right team.

You don’t think Mini Mike’s disaster will be all over social media and the news? Even the MSM was all over it.

“Amy though a democrat comes off as someone you wouldn’t mind working with.”

She actually has the reputation of being among the worst of the worst in treating her staff.

The most famous story is of an aide that brought her a salad and forgot the utensils. She berated the aide and then embarrassed him by making him watch her eat the salad with her own comb. Then she made the aide wash her comb.

Did you see the headlines about the debate that said, “Warren Scalps Bloomberg?”
