LAS VEGAS - The top six candidates competing for the Democratic nomination to take on U.S. President Donald Trump in November participated in the ninth presidential debate on Wednesday, with one quickly becoming the focus: Michael Bloomberg.
“I hope you heard what his defense was: I’ve been nice to some women. That just doesn’t cut it. The mayor has to stand on his record and what we need to know is what’s lurking out there.” “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. We can do better.”The former vice president assailed Bloomberg over the stop-and-frisk policing policy in New York City that was criticized for ensnaring disproportionate numbers of blacks and Latinos.
“I have been told as a woman, as someone that maybe no one thought was still going to be standing up on this stage, but I am because of pure grit ... I’ve been told many times to wait my turn and to step aside, and I’m not going to do that now ... I think we need something different than Donald Trump. I don’t think you look at Donald Trump and say we need someone richer in the White House.”“We are giving a voice to people who would say we are sick and tired of billionaires, like Mr.

IF you play your cards right, THAT billionaire could be on your side.
I would think being a successful is reason to elect him... how the world has changed.... they prefer a bar tender
Aren't most of these other candidates not millionaires?
You can't tell me that everyone on that stage doesn't have an NDA on somebody.
I assume they know that Americans chose to elect a billionaire as President the last time around.
Since when it's a sin to be rich in the democratic party?
THE CLEAR LOSSER in last nights 'ATTACK' was the Democratic Party!! They were so divided about policies that have NO CHANCE of getting past the Senate-that they failed to focus on getting rid of trump and HIS POLICIES!!! I finally left the TV room in discuss!!
And yet MikeBloomberg is the only one that has the media power and business success to defeat trump’s Russian troll army and debunk trump’s false claims of economic “genius” - which was thx to Obama’s policies. DemDebate2020 DemDebate
This must be the Top Divided party in the World.
If they were smart they would be attacking the communist Bernie Sanders on stage
Had a lot of material on trump, didn't use it. Trying to defeat trump, not each other. Trump needs to be the topic. Their talking points are getting repetitive, we all know their visions.
Yep but they will gladly use his money
As jamestaranto pointed out, the average net worth of the Democratic candidates on stage last night was $10,670,850,000. Great representatives of ordinary Americans.
Say the millionaires.
