I watched the whole debate. Bloomberg got clobbered. Even Slow Joe landed a few good punches.
It amazes me that Bloomberg was so obviously unprepared. Most of the time he looked confused and dazed.
Maybe his prep team was afraid to ask him any really hard questions.
Prepper: Mr. Mayor, are you the best candidate ever?
Bloomberg: Yes I am.
Prepper: Excellent answer, sir. That should do it.
You're a stronger man than I; Gunga Din.
I don’t think Bloomberg was unprepared; there is no way to prepare to defend all the baggage he has.
The problem is he is looking at the long game (November 2020 against Trump) while the others are still focused on getting on the ballot itself - so they were much more focused on the primaries and caucuses than he was.
