SUBTITLE: "He's toast," said Dwight Clarke, 70, of Los Angeles, who viewed the event at The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood, California.
LOS ANGELES -- One after another, Democratic presidential candidates took turns at the start of their latest debate to take shots at former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg. And each time, the crowd at The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood, California, reacted with uproarious cheers.
They cheered when Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., criticized Bloomberg for having spent his way onto the debate stage, and when Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said the party should nominate "someone who is actually a Democrat" - referring to Bloomberg - the crowd laughed and clapped again.
The applause at the West Hollywood watch party, hosted by the local chapter of the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, reached a peak when Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., asked Bloomberg whether he would release former female employees from nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, legal contracts that prevent someone from talking publicly about an incident, usually signed in exchange for money.
"He looked pathetic," said Sara Rosenstock, 60, of Los Angeles. "He didn't look like his commercials."
Rae Sanni, who grew up in Brooklyn but now lives in Los Angeles, felt Bloomberg transformed New York into a "rich people's playground" and didn't care for poor people or people of color.
"That speaks to an aloofness and a removal and a lack of relatability that I don't want," said Sanni, a Warren supporter. "We have that in Trump. I don't want it."
In Houston, Kirby Avila, 28, left a beer bar leaning toward Warren.
"She's so sharp, and I think it's time for a woman," Avila said.

The alphabet soup mafia doesn’t like Bloomberg? Quelle surprise ...
-—”He didn’t look like his commercials.”-—
They never do, genius! lol
Mini Mike.....dragging around his sack full of gold coins.
Mike Quasimoto Bloomberg, the shorty hunchback of Notre Dame, one foot dragging after his first debate. If he quits now, he would be saving himself a lot of money, but who cares?
The pop corn factor is high and entertaining. Soon Quasimoto Mike will be a tragic star who no one will vote for.
I see the LBQTV crowd missed the L/V debate’s “shining moment” of Democrats’ diversity........ .
Bloomberg being singled out for calling women “fat broads” and “horse-faced lesbians.”
Come on lesbos, get with it......Democrats prove once again how inclusive and sensitive they are.
"She's so sharp, and I think it's time for a woman," Avila said.
Gee, how do you argue with such impeccable logic? And such a representative sample from deviant bars around the country!
Of all the places to gauge Democrat reaction, in a nation of 320 million people, the NBC reporter goes to a GAY BAR. If that doesn’t say it all.
Voters who invest about as much thought and effort into casting their vote as they do in making a selection off the drive-thru menu. Another reason the country’s in deep doo.
Bloomberg was certainly the only one up there last night who doesn’t appear to be constantly angry (except for the young mayor). I can’t imagine what it would be like to see that angry face of Sanders on a daily basis. He looks like he could pop a blood vessel in his brain at any moment. What IS HIS PROBLEM?
Imagine Sanders and Warren as a team - We are mad and we are glad!
Lol. Ever buy a frozen dinner?
But, seriously, yet another review of the debates as though Biden (of Obama-Biden fame) wasn't even there.
She also owns a glass boat held together with Flex Glue.
Warren and Klobo need to have their own cage fight to figure out who the womyn candidate will be.
Warren is allowed to use tomahawks as a weapon—Klobo gets to have the Mexican president (whatever his name is) choose her weapon. ;-)
(Random thought of the day—the NBA should be renamed the NDA... ;-) )
I was sipping scotch, not drunk, not even high, but I was roaring so loud with laughter my wife came into my den to check on me, to make sure I wasn't stoned.
WOW, just WOW.
Because Mini-Mike wasn't prepared. His bank roll couldn't save him from the Cherokee savage.
Did Bloomberg use a step stool to stand on?
