Democratic Debate Was The Greatest Debate In Human History

Forget Lincoln and Douglas. Forget Nixon and Kennedy. Hell, forget the Athenians and the Melians back during the Peloponnesian War. Last night’s Democratic primary slagfest in Nevada was the greatest debate in all of human history.

Oh, was it glorious — the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids face the desperate possibility each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions.

It’s not that the gloves were off. No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren’t snowflakes. They were nunchucks.

Some priceless highlights:

Bloomberg saying he was too rich to release his returns because he can’t do Turbo Tax like all of you losers.

Sanders fuming that Bloomberg would dare mention he has a summer house.

Warren signature moment came at the very beginning, when she went right for the jugular.

“I’d like to talk about who we’re running against — a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians,” Warren said. “No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.”

So how was Bloomberg? At the midpoint, it seemed like he had just spent the past three months lighting half a billion dollars on fire, given just how disastrously he had performed.

Everybody took a turn beating him up, and his responses were painfully clueless

“The decades old rat practice of identity politics and playing one demographic off against another is coming home to roost - in spades. No-one can meet all of their ridiculous litmus tests. Each candidate can (and apparently does) beat up the others over some perceived failure to meet the requirements of leftist ideology. Keep chewing each other up... Meanwhile President Trump and his supporters are over here working to Keep America Great Again without all the histrionics.”

totally true ... on all accounts ...

In two hours, Mini-Mike wiped out half his potential voters. What he reminded me of....was Jeb Bush.

Mini-Mike's debate performance last night certainly did his campaign a world of good...

“I do not think Trump broke the Democrats....I think the Democrats broke themselves.”

it was a joint effort ... the Dems made themselves brittle with their identify politics that was bound to destroy them eventually, but it was a fearless Donald Trump who took the shot that utterly shattered them ...

you don’t think a cowardly weakling like a McCain or a Romney could have taken that shot, do you? No, because it took a Donald Trump to come along and first destroy the titanium shield provided by the fake stream media that heretofore protected the Dems’ from their own fatal brittleness ...

Absolutely true. No other Republican in my lifetime has attacked the Ds and the media like Trump. He owns this moment.

It was the first debate I watched since Trump thrashed Hillary and it was worth my time! They all looked small and petty! Perfect!

“a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians”
Almost wished I had watched for that line alone. Brutal. SO funny.

“As I predicted, Bloomberg was the pinata. The tone of the debate was more or less - why are we debating this Republican; isn’t this the Democratic primary?”

And Biden flew under the radar.

I bet I’m not the only one happy to see the dems devour each other. I’m sure the dems thought the same thing when the knock-down fight happened during the 2016 debates on the republican stage.

I don’t watch dem debates because I find them to be a waste of time normally but I may take some time to watch some of last night’s. Could be good fun!

Gee sounds like it was fun. Might have to watch it on YouTube.
Saw a few highlights last night....Warren attacking Bloomie. Pretty good stuff!

No American flag because NBC provide the venue. The MSM are globalists who HATE the USA. If it was up to the DNC there wold be American flags galore. They always wrap themselves in the Flag when it’s convenient. Remember the set Schumer and Pelosi put together after Trump’s border speech?
