Nevada Democratic Debate Was the Greatest Debate in Human History
NY Post ^ | February 20, 2020 | John Podhoretz

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 faces the desperate possibility that 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:

Pete Buttigieg wagging his finger at Amy Klobuchar after she said she’d made an error by forgetting the name of the president of Mexico in an interview.

Klobuchar wheeling on Buttigieg and demanding to know if he was trying to say she was dumb. “Are you mocking me here, Pete?”

They all hated on each other, and they all ganged up on Bloomberg. Such a hate festival

I know Joe Biden would be upset, but could we give the debaters firearms the next time?

The ratings would skyrocket!

You almost make me wish I’d watched it. But my sock drawer is much more orderly now...

Whats fair is fair. “W” was lambasted for not knowing presidents of various contries. If these are the criteria, bring it on.

Did not waste my precious time watching it, but it sounds like it was just another typical MacDonalds brawl over missing ketchup packets,etc, that we are always reading about...

Nope, a cage match to the death. With all of them armed with sex toys in a pool of jello.

Who wins? Who cares!

It was easily the most enjoyable event of this wonderful political season. Like a super slow motion explosion in a room full of movie villians.

Not sure how to link to a Twitter film, but Bloomberg put out a funny ad on the debate this morning. He took the biggest beating, but this was a comical response.

Did you ever start a business

I keep hearing he spent 300-400 million of his own money on this campaign. I don’t think that’s true. I suspect he’s funneling money from his network of charities to do the social media work.

I only saw the last 45 minutes of the debate but the feeling I got from it (and from others) was that everyone pretty much ignored Biden and aimed their fire at each other.

Klobo and Buttgag went at it as did Mini Mike and Liawatha but Biden seemed alone on stage.
