will be a contest as to who can get off the best lines against Bloomie. I predict record viewership for a debate at this part of the election cycle.

They have a gift in Bloomberg, he's taking a blowtorch to TRUMP. Let him. Their "best lines" better be directed to the people they want to vote for them, by giving them a reason to do so.

So far he's been riding along on the strength of his very effective and very expensive ad campaign. I want to see him on the debate stage answering the same kinds of questions the other candidates have had to answer. He's got quite a bit of baggage and he should be questioned about some less-than-savory prior statements and policies. His ass should be on the line like everybody else's. It's not fair to the voters to let him escape the kind of scrutiny that the other candidates have had to endure.
