Bloomberg's lack of recent debate experience is showing.

After, what is it, 10 debates, the other candidates know the game, and some are on top of it tonite. He looks out of his depth.

The debate is as chaotic as well have come to expect from NBC. The questions are gotcha. the toad needs to go.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

the ineffective moderators are just letting everybody scream and yell. If they took turns like they should, Bloomberg might be able to get two words in edgewise.

If you raise your voice, or interrupt, you get attention. the questions are gotcha. It invariably ends up in slanging match.

And I'm a dedicated debate watcher. Couldn't stand all the background noise (coming form mainly chucktodd) and hollering.

I'll watch clips, and keep updated here.
