Mike Bloomberg's team did a lot of spinning before the debate to hedge against a poor performance and turn a decent outing into a Hall of Fame performance. Will it work? We'll see. But the mechanics are easy to follow:
Make it seem like everyone is going to attack him relentlessly, so he's both the most important figure on the stage and the one who is most likely to take a beating. CHECK. Set the expectations bar for his performance as low as possible so it's easy to clear. His campaign manager, Kevin Sheekey, has said Bloomberg will defend his record, pointed to the things Bloomberg has done to help progressive causes and noted how many cities and states Bloomberg has campaigned in. What he hasn't done: said Bloomberg will debate like Lincoln on PEDs and wipe the floor with his rivals. Make sure the boss has an easy standard to beat. CHECK.
Use the pre-debate period to put other candidates on the defensive. Sheekey wrote a memo Wednesday that said other candidates should drop out to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning an insurmountable delegate lead through Super Tuesday on March 3. Force rivals who have actually won votes to defend their existence. CHECK.
How much did Bloomberg pay for this ad?
Can you ask Policy questions instead of questions that prompt personal attacks? I knew you would this Tabloid trash.
Vapid, divisive, and empty preening attacks so far from the Congressional candidates.

In summary, they are going to accuse everyone of being racist, they’re going to offer “free“ stuff which they want to buy with our money, and instead of touting how they will improve our country, they will attack Trump and fail to acknowledge a single one of his accomplishments.
Sometimes I jack off in front of the tv when joe Biden speaks just because Jesus gets a kick out of it
