Fighting right outta the gate. Execute Order 66 on the moderates.

Somebody gave Fauxcahontas Firewater tonight, she is on the warpath, smacking everybody including Salad Lady.

Y'all missing the fireworks. Fauxcahontas is taking scalps tonight, she is chopping Bloomberg with a tomahawk, including his NDAs that he had a shitload of former female employees sign.

Even Biden is jumping in.

This is like beat the rich brat with the baseball bat.

Bloomberg's debate experience in one song:

Why don't they just give Bloomberg a Royal Lift, like he got on the playground all his childhood?

Biden seemed to barely hold it together. The dementia is pretty obvious.

@Flavius,

let me know what is a square root of NinE.
8   Ceffer   2020 Feb 20, 9:49am  

Bloomberg needs botox. He flashes like he wants to walk over and put a bullet in the needling jerks. All these years in politics and he hasn't mastered the bland, insouciant demeanor of the sociopathic salesman?

It wasn’t just Bloomberg who came under fire. Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have never liked each other, and they became downright nasty. Klobuchar once again took the opportunity to point out that Pete has never won a statewide race, while Buttigieg replied with a canned line about how if Minnesotan senators made good nominees, Walter Mondale would have been president. Buttigieg also seized the opportunity to poke at Klobuchar over forgetting the president of Mexico’s name. Klobuchar struggled, asking Pete if he was calling her “dumb.” Buttigieg is a practiced debater and delivers his lines well, and his polished hokum about how “Washington” doesn’t respect small-city Rust Belt mayors clearly gets on Klobuchar’s nerves to no end.

Warren was unusually vicious toward other candidates, making direct attacks on nearly every one of her opponents. She was spirited and articulate, and with her memorable exchanges with Bloomberg, she will widely be seen as the “winner” of the debate. But it also seemed as if she was desperate to strike as many blows in as many directions as possible, conscious that her campaign needs a miracle if it is going to survive.

In terms of who the debate served best, Sanders was the clear winner. He went into it the frontrunner, and mostly just needed to avoid embarrassing himself. The debate went far better than he could even have hoped. His chief rival, Bloomberg, flopped completely. The other centrists spent time bickering with each other that could have been spent trying to undermine Sanders. Warren did the “dirty work” of eviscerating Bloomberg, allowing Sanders to make a more elevated pitch and somewhat rise above the fray. He was given plenty of time to talk, and while he stuck close to his usual talking points he had above-average energy and was clearly enjoying himself. He was effective in pointing out how Buttigieg dishonestly presents the costs of Medicare For All without mentioning the benefits, and easily parried Bloomberg’s absurd attempt to conflate Sanders’ democratic socialism with “communism”. Bloomberg was a perfect foil for Sanders; Sanders probably wishes Bloomberg had been there all along, a cartoon of an evil billionaire for Sanders to point to as an example of everything wrong with the country.

Sanders went into the debate the frontrunner and he left the frontrunner. If Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar were to stand any chance of overtaking Sanders, they needed to make him look foolish, and they didn’t. Instead, they looked petty, and he survived. Warren was in good form, but she’s simply not going to reclaim the lead over Sanders at this point. Bloomberg was the only serious threat, and he fizzled, showing that the “electability” case for his candidacy is laughable. It’s increasingly clear that Sanders has no serious opposition and Democrats are going to need to start reconciling himself to the inevitability of his nomination.

The DNC will never allow that.
Just too much money at stake.
Imagine the hords of swamp crocodiles staffing the agencies supervising entire industries.
Imagine the healthcare industry after being nationalized.
Imagine all the basic enforcement they close their eyes upon.
Much worse disruptive than Trump.
He may be found dead from apparent heart attack with a pillow over his head before he gets the nomination.

@Patrick -

pretty impressive programming of our bot friend. Answer question with another question!

If that’s the debate, imagine what the convention will be like.

Gladiator combat and free shit. Isn't bread and circuses what the progressives are all about?

Bloomberg Said Young People Support Bernie Because They're Dumb

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a surprising theory about why young people love Sen. Bernie Sanders: They’re morons.

In a wide-ranging interview one month after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Bloomberg said Sanders would have won that race if he had gotten the Democratic nomination in large part because young people have no idea what they’re doing.

Bloomberg is right there.

Bloomberg is smart and competent, and he takes an utterly pragmatic approach to governing that actually seems to work! If he weren’t such a right wing dictator, I might even vote for him.
We already have a smart and pragmatic leader who isn’t a right wing dictator no matter what the pussified Left thinks.
27   clambo   2020 Feb 22, 10:37pm  

Bloomberg is wrong about young people liking Bernie because they’re dumb; they hear him offer free shit and they want it.
Young people are generally broke compared to older people.
So, the like the guy who offers the most free shit is popular with them.
Student loan forgiveness is an example.
Bernie is a dangerous lunatic, he buys votes with free shit but pours liberal kool aid over it so he seems sincere.

If Bernie wins on Super Tuesday, I'm going to look into going to Med School.

Why? In all these socialized medicine plans that other countries have the doctors get screwed.
30   theoakman   2020 Feb 23, 8:47am  

One of my main reasons opting of not going to med school 2as the extreme push for socialized healthcare. Doctors were already getting screwed by giant hospitals and insurance companies. That would be the death blow.

So I can default on an expensive loan - I was on the 7 year plan and paid cash, dammit!
32   clambo   2020 Feb 23, 11:52am  

Oakman, I thought the same thing as you, and heard from doctors that it was a pain in the ass.

But, my friend got MD and never practiced, rather did research, then pharmaceutical company work, now he’s a scientist at a bio pharmaceutical startup.

I was amazed he didn’t have to see patients to make a living, but he said he had corporate pressures and asshole bosses so it sucked a bit in a different way.
33   theoakman   2020 Feb 23, 12:18pm  

I contemplated the research route through MD/PhD. In hindsight, I should have done it because the "PhD" work they make them do is a joke to justify the degree. It's free tuition and $30k a year stipend, maybe more because this was 2002. I basically hate research too though....so I'm not that regretful of it. If you speak to most doctors, they don't want their kids going into medicine. I always say...if you are going to be a heart surgeon....fine...you will be rich. There is too much downward pressure on doctor's wages to make it the home run it used to be.

The local plumber by me is charging just as much...not going through all the bullshit with insurance...and he's got so much work that he has a 4 month backlog.

How many of the other candidates did Biden grope?
