Michael Bloomberg did better in his second DemDebate, but he was still awful. ed_kilgore writes

He saw you drinking that big soda. Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images After an abysmal performance in his first debate appearance in Las Vegas last week , Michael Bloomberg assembled his expensive brain trust of advisors and repaired to his tent to make sure he would better prepared for the sequel in South Carolina, as the Wall Street Journal reported:

In another leftover dispute from the first debate, Bloomberg apologized again for deploying stop and frisk policies as mayor of New York, and then fouled that up by explaining that he had consulted black leaders on how to “position himself” on such issues, making himself look as cynical and mercenary as one might fear.

In the middle of responding to another criticism from Elizabeth Warren, Bloomberg wryly remarked, “I really am surprised that all of these, my fellow… contestants up here I guess would be the right word for it, given nobody pays attention to the clock, I’m surprised they show up because I would’ve thought after I did such a good job in beating him last week that they’d be a little afraid to do that.

ed_kilgore Where are your tax returns, Bloomie, am I gonna have to stop and frisk you for it? And make it ten years' worth—chop chop!

ed_kilgore One of his worst moments was when he lied and said he won the first debate. That his cheerleaders in the audience were hired was obvious.

ed_kilgore Bloomberg was Presidential! We are not looking for a clown or entertainer! We already have one of those in the White House!

ed_kilgore That’s putting it rather kindly

ed_kilgore Awful is an understatement.

zen4ever2us ed_kilgore An Oligarch may be able to buy what he wants but he can't buy awareness of issues or the ability to debate (argue, toss out ideas, whatever these faux 'debates' are).

ed_kilgore Girlfriend as in me?

Mike Fiers Has His Reputation On The Line For Oakland A’s This SeasonDepending on who one listens to, Fiers is either the hero or the villain of the still swirling bomb cyclone surrounding his former team, the Houston Astros, regarding their electronic sign stealing during the 2017 World Series-winning season. He is integrity personified. If it wasn’t for him, MLB would have swept the Astros under the rug. I appreciate his candor.
