Democrats came out hot in Las Vegas on Wednesday with a new target onstage: Mike Bloomberg.
“New York City, thank you very much,” Bloomberg responded. “And I pay all my taxes. And I'm happy to do it because I get something for it.”One debate moment can cause a candidate to slip badly, and Bloomberg’s refusal to release women from non-disclosure agreements struck with his company marked a low point for his nascent candidacy.
Bloomberg didn’t answer, but said none of the women “accuse me of doing anything other than, maybe, they didn't like a joke I told.”“There’s agreements between two parties that wanted to keep it quiet. And that's up to them. They signed those agreements, and we'll live with it.” “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. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg,” Warren said to kick off the debate.
After noting that an NBC poll showed he leads Trump by the widest margin of anyone in the Democratic field, Joe Biden piled on. Buttigieg jumped in soon after, prefacing that he did not believe Sanders was directing the online activity, but then saying, “I think you have to accept some responsibility and ask yourself what it is about your campaign, in particular, that seems to be motivating this behavior more than others.”Sanders backed away from his pledge to provide full transparency after he had a heart attack late last year.
It’s all good, 4 more years
nj He should release them from their NDAs. NDAs are signed between two parties that are not and never were equally balanced. NDAs are about powerful organizations buying silence from employees who were hurt by nefarious negligence. mikebloomberg should get it all out now. He won't.
Pete went low and looked very unpresidential, Amy was very rattled and looked very unpresidential. These people are good Americans who should stick to lower offices or advisory roles.
Well, that brain fart in your tweet is gonna go down as one for the ages. Pete Klobuchar? Really?
She kind of went unhinged there a moment - all I could think about was her eating salad with a comb
Mike is a gosh dang professional. Back to where we need to be, bring back dignity to the highest office in the land
Pete looks like he's arguing with his big sister about who gets to be in charge while the parents are away. Nothing about him says, 'I can lead the free world.'
“Pete Klobuchar”?
Being dumb and not knowing something you should definitely know are two very different things. Calling someone out for it and mocking are two very different things as well. That knee jerk defense made her look bad. Like the type of person who loses their shit real easy.
I wonder if Bloomberg will still give his millions to Bernie Sanders after this demonstration of how much Sanders despises Bloomberg.
😂😂😂 that was a sh*t show! What an embarrassment for democraps! 😂😂😂🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Attack the guy who built a mega biz from scratch and created 500K well paying jobs, then ran NYC amazingly well for 12 years. The smartest person in the race too. Yup, let’s blow him up so Bernie can get Trump?!
If only she had a stapler.
Mayor Pete was the clear winner. Klobuchar looked like a heckler.
interesting that you only show about 30 seconds of the Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders, and close on Pete trying to push the Bro smear. Doesn't matter. We all see through this garbage. VoteBlueForBernie
Sorry Senator. but if you FEEL you're being mocked, you ARE being mocked. Pete didn't have to say you're dumb, you did that for him. On the other hand I think it's a pretty good display of what your staff has to deal with.
Pete Klobuchar? Are they like married? No one told me!
amyklobuchar was too easily rattled by PeteButtigieg. Trump would destroy her.
Angry
😏
GarstenB come get your friends! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's BUTTIGIEG. PETE BUTTIGIEG. Who is your copy editor?
I will say this. If you have an interview with Telemondo, you may want to prepare and possibly know who the President of Mexico is. If you can't take the time to do that, you may indeed be dumb, her words and nobody else's.
Clearly the best possible outcome to the Democratic Primary process is for Bloomberg to make good on his promise to support the eventual Democratic candidate no matter what by pouring billions of dollars into TV ads for the Bernie campaign.
Stupidity. Why trump gets re-elected. There were only 2 viable candidates up there for the gen election...Biden and Bloomberg. We don’t need the idealist. We need the leader who will make the ideas a reality. For my money, Bloom over Biden. CEOs execute. Politicians talk.
The Dems are in an incredibly screwed up situation. Billionaires support Trump, mostly. To unseat him you’re going to need someone with enough money and political capital to beat his wallet. Citizens United said billionaires can control the world. They certainly control elections
But they will all accept his money .. they are no different then him
That he got used as a punching bag tonight is really not a strong enough visualization...
Klobuchar attacked Pete w a salad comb. Pete cried. It's all good.
Amy looked a bit crazy. I hate to say it.
as a woman, i am utterly embarrassed. neveramy
what happen to a Waman can not be President ever
I hate when women come off with that argument when they're losing.
Bernie is super crazy, it’s no wonder he hasn’t done anything in all his years as a senator! Complaining about Walmart, the shouldn’t pay more as their employees are low lever and I like that they employ people like Greta.
Pete Klobuchar?
🤮
dang i feel a little bad for her
Amy was so angry she was shaking. But she couldn’t get a word in from Pete’s constant condescending chatter.
Such BS
Pete was stating the facts. She couldn't handle it..If you want to judge character, look at how she acts when the debate is over. She walks right off stage... PeteForPresident
Pete is the smart annoying kid (teacher's pet) we all knew in Jr. High. He has gone down on my list. Amy hard working and passionate. Need Biden-Klobuchar ticket.
Petty ..they both look bad
he has millions -3 homes-socialist and voted against the Brady bill 5 times-
Reality check to Mayor Pete - he’s running in a lot of what MN Mondale ran on in the 80s. He was about climate and pro women and equality but was honest about taxes. He showed tonight he has nowhere near the integrity of klobuchar or Mondale
Yeah, I really like that Pete Klobuchar dude. LOL
Love it! Let’s debate!!
Lots of undignified pettiness. Was the reason they were there forgotten, to prove they have the right stuff to become the most powerful person in the world. Also tearing apart Bloomberg was distasteful and revolting. We don't allow our kids to bully & behave that way to anyone.
This makes me smile
Pete was doing well, why was he attacking Amy...I know she attacked him last debate...but who remembers and who cares
Pete was disrespectful. He should have let Amy speak. Fucking Todd should have stopped it.
A little like Midwest brother and sister in a spat.
Amy trying her best not to throw the podium at Pete is a mood for the whole campaign
My husband said “boy that Amy is a nasty woman, she attacked Pete”. Why do men call woman nasty when they speak up to defend themselves? I like both her & Pete. Just confused that when a woman speaks up or does what a man does they get called nasty.
'Watch Amy Klobuchar and Pete Klobuchar go toe-to-toe.' Wow, I didn't know they were siblings, but their squabbling makes sense now. Incidentally, it was funny how she ignored him and stormed off at the end of the debate. Probably going to tattle on him for being mean.
Bottom feeders
Who is Pete Klobuchar?
Amy klouchbar and Peter Klouchbar? Not toe to toe then just a domestic
He was doing neither
Pete Klobuchar?! 😂
We all hate each other we just need villages
Pete WHO?
Pete was doing neither. Sorry to see Amy really crumble tonight. She should've brushed it off. DemDebate
Are they married now, I'm confused
Pete is a disaster.
'could be'?
powerful stuff
PoliticoPanders2China
But they'll get recognition and even bigger positions of power should it work out well for you... Don't think for a second that you're where you are politically without the scumbags you only condemn after you're made to. The honorable thing would of been to do so organically.
To those in denial. Socialism is a dealbreaker in American electoral politics. Condolences.
Sanders is a longtime US Senator from Vermont, with a GOP Governor. What he calls 'socialism' is what most Americans would call an FDR New Deal Democrat. Let's return the Democratic Party to our roots as a party of working people---not a party of the rich or corrupt.
I know of no groups of which 99.9% are anything. Sanders knows he has this issue. Which is why he’s on the defensive. He doesn’t care. Corbyn pt. II.
If people understood that they already have socialism? Bernie, Elizabeth want what other countries already have - such as Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia.
Repub propaganda has helped push this.
This line of commentary is unacceptable. STOP. If you are a candidate who is such a BABY that you whine and moan about meanies online, how in the world are you going to survive the ugliest election in history? This is ridiculous. Bet Vlad is just laughing at this nonsense.
The sample was made of the Clintons, the Bidens, Chuck Todd, and Meghan McCain.
would those folks opposed to socialism be the same folks who like their SS? are they the same people who like unemployment ins? are they the same people who like socialist policies put into the gov't during the depression? it cuts both ways.
Sure he does.
Here's the khive having a normal one as usual. Cause it's only Bernie supporters, yea?
Just like Denmark my ass
Bernie Sanders is a Communist.
Well I’m sure once the votes are counted the Democrats will make sure the other two-thirds vote for them.
Wall Street poll 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much spittle is on that microphone? DemDebate DemocraticDebate
“A few.”
The polls also show Bernie leading democratic nomination.
Sanders clarified it: 'Who's winning that poll?' The coward moderator wouldn't answer that.
Sanders souns more & more like a socialist. Equal income distribution. Very dangerous . Step one to losing individual earning power. Communism? Correct me if I’m wrong. & I’m not wealthy. On fixed income. I don’t want my government sharing my $$.
Sometimes BernieSanders gets googly eyes 👀 when he's fired up.
Imagine crying about people being mean online. Most sanders supporters are nice people.
The establishment cannot contain the enthusiasm of Bernies follows, so they choose to denigrate them. Why ? Because the 27 dollar donation is frightening to the people who are used to controlling the money.
Now check out the comments on this or any other post that isn't complimentary to Bernie for the counterpoint...
It always fascinates me that only Sanders supporters are being chastised. You never see anyone chastising Clinton loyalists that morphed into Kamala & Warren supporters. They are just as bad if not worse. Each candidate has over zealous supporters. Smh
