While Buttigieg comes for Bloomberg and Bernie “We could wake up two weeks from today, the day after Super Tuesday, and the only candidates left standing will be Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg,” Pete Buttigieg said. “Let’s put forward somebody who is actually a Democrat. We shouldn’t have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out.
Bloomberg’s inevitable stop-and-frisk apology The former mayor said he was “embarrassed” by the policy that he supported throughout his time in office, though he attempted to defend the practice with a misleading answer. But other candidates weren’t having it: “It’s not whether he apologizes or not,” said Joe Biden. “It’s abhorrent.”
Klobuchar answers for forgetting the president of Mexico After Amy Klobuchar forgot the name of the president of Mexico in an interview last week, the Minnesota senator was asked about her gaffe. She claimed it was an example of “momentary forgetfulness,” and checked her notes before stating his name: Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The debate gets existential After Chuck Todd pressed Sanders on a tweet stating that billionaires should not exist, the moderator asked the billionaire on the stage: “Mayor Bloomberg, should you exist?” He answered in the affirmative, saying that he earned his fortune. Sanders later replied that Bloomberg’s workers “played a role” in his wealth creation as well, and that he should credit them for it.
Pete and Amy, round two After Klobuchar reiterated the importance of DACA recipients and the need for comprehensive immigration reform, Pete Buttigieg called out her approval of Trump’s judicial nominees, and her vote to make English the official language of the United States. “Do you know the message that sends?” he asked.
Or they can do coin flips. Better yet, Rick paper scissors.
I find the whole hand raising thing so ridiculous. What’s the point? Give each person the mic for 30-45 seconds. Random order. Ensure all get same time. Otherwise just looks like a freakin kindergarten class.
MIKE BLOOMBERG WON DEBATE. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS ACTING PRESIDENTIAL ON DEBATE STAGE. THE REST OF THE CANDIDATES WERE ACTING LIKE THEY WERE GANG BULLIES. ESPECIALLY WARREN AND SANDERS. IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR TV OR OUR KIDS.
I’m reminded of Will Rogers saying, “I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat.”
Why I won't watch the debates, the focus should be every candidate starting their answer with 'because of Donald Trump'...not attacking each other...that's the old way, the only person they should be attacking is Trump with every answer...
Have the Democratic candidates stooped to the low, low levels of the potus. If you watch BS carefully, he looks so angry, he might just have another heart attack. What is that saying? “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!”
What happens in Vegas , stays in Vegas.. in this case it’s a good thing. DemDebate2020 Warren doing Kathy Bates. misery
This photo is EVERYTHING 😂
