In one sense, political debates are evanescent. Six candidates squared off in Las Vegas on February 19th—the ninth such debate—ahead of the Nevada caucuses on February 22nd. Then they will spar again on February 25th, ahead of the primaries in South Carolina and the delegate-rich Super Tuesday primaries. But some debates matter more than others, and the one in Las Vegas came at an important moment in the Democratic campaign to choose a candidate to challenge President Donald Trump.
Debates are not Mr Bloomberg’s strong suit. He is not particularly charismatic, and perhaps the world’s 12th richest man, the founder of one of the world’s most prominent media and finance companies, does not often encounter people who disagree with him. Still, his flat-footedness in responding to this predictable question was surprising. Over the course of the evening his performance improved.
Mr Sanders offers a starkly different view of the presidency: hectorer-in-chief. As usual, he offered bold visions without a hint of how he would enact them, other than to shout louder. Mr Sanders has never seen a complex problem without a simple explanation—Greed! Corruption! Billionaires! It is a form of Trumpism for the left, with pharmaceutical companies and billionaires for villains rather than undocumented immigrants and feckless elites.
Or how the country would pay for them.
more mainstream media bashing bernie smh
You’re kidding right? Go to his website, and you’ll see he lays out exactly how he will do things.
Why call Bernie's socialist vision 'bold'? Does admire socialism? Would you find fascist plans 'bold'?
And? That's his brand.
Don't y'all get tired of lying?
Good points made.
alllibertynews Torture GulagBernie SocialismKills Communism
Something anyone could do. Offer theory without any idea to make it happen.
yeah sure the Devil (bloomberg) is the worst option
Remember, this was a fight for survival for Ms. Warren. Mr. Bloomberg learned how angry women are and Mr. Sanders, for me, lost all credibility.
Sanders throws out a lot of numbers, no plans. He's been in politics for years, not once have I heard him point to something that he's passed or had a major hand in doing. I didn't know he existed til 2016. Says alot.
It was t a good night for the 1st time debating for the presidency
OnlyBernie
They didn't go after him, they all went after Bloomberg.. Sanders gets away with murder.
They best concentrate upon taking Sanders to task. He and Warren offer unsustainable visions & cannot win. Give us Bloomberg, Buttigieg or Klobuchar any day of the week, for their policies are doable& they can beat the Mobster Monster.
That’s because he won’t
Yeah, after all, all the other candidates have detailed how they will carry out their proposals in the debate ... Ones, like bloomberg, we know those details hence its just about keeping things like their are now...
He didn't outline intricate policy details in the 30 second allotments? What a knucklehead. Maybe he could get something like a website to offer a more in depth look at his platform.
Where was Bloomberg's gray matter last night? Did he leave it in the farm? 😆🧐
Let’s watch a little longer and see what he does! He said many times that if he doesn’t get it he will his money on the other candidate. He wants Trump out!!
Félicitations, Senator. Godspeed
Wobbly?
Reads comments... yep, Trump will be re-elected.
Just pandering to the hard left wing of the party.
DontBelieveTheHype
There aint no Obama in the group but Bloomberg fanned the flames ... for the better.
Was it that she was THAT GOOD? Or is it that the others were THAT BAD?
Good god but other than Communist China is there ANY country who would have a bunch of leadership contenders who have to leave their Zimmer frames at the side of the stage or will certainly need one by the end of their term in office-if they live that long. Where is Joe Kennedy?
Vote for Bernie!
Senator Sanders is President Donald Trump's best insurance policy. even the Centrists will turn Right. But frankly, the polity is so divided that 100K voters in two swing states may decide the Presidency!
She was like an obnoxious teenager! Attacked her fellow Democrats Never once gave an economically solid mathematical plan to fund all her free stuff Nothing but gibberish!
Wobbly like the heidenburg’s first flight
He was wobbly. Then he hit the floor.
😳 I thought it was terrible.
She is a terrific phony I will grant you that
As expected. None of the candidates are clean. Let's see how he recovers.
True. He looked terrible. Good news is he has time to recover.
Money is not enough
Social tip: They're all staring at you as a subtle signal we want you to shut up and leave, Bloomberg. They will use increasingly unsubtle signals until you do.
was the worst performance I have ever seen during campain from bloomberg, he does not know what he talks about and there is no corelation between his conversations.
All that money and he could not find a coach to prep him to be nimble and have prepared responses to anticipated attacks. Or, he did have such coach and failed as student. Those are the real reasons people are thinking GTFO
His campaign is over.
Yes Trump is more entertaining if you want 4 more years of a crazy circus.
was the worst performance I have ever seen during campain from bloomberg, he does not know what he talks about and there is no corelation between conversations
Very diplomatic.
If he faced a challenge. He is not a layer !
Flat footed performance with his mini feet
PresidentWarren finishhim
