one suspects tonights alleged debate will have little to no effect on bloomberg because

[msongs]

hardly anybody watched it compared to the tens of millions who see his incessant ads ... well Ive never actually seen a bloomberg promotion anywhere but I hear he has lots of them

[ibegurpard]

1. people talk

ads don't exist in a vacuum.

[msongs]

3. never seen him til tonight. didnt seem that impressive to me. at least he didnt turn purple and look

like he was going to pop

[rockfordfile]

2. I think a lot of people watched

[still_one]

4. I see a lot of his ads here in California

[2naSalit]

5. I think more people are paying attention to these

debates than might be told. Don't forget the twittersphere, they may see it in pieces but people are paying attention.

[emmaverybo]

6. It's all over Twitter.

[Callado119]

11. Few voters are on Twitter..

[emmaverybo]

13. Word gets out from one social media platform to another and then to the dinner table. It's all

over the news. I am just reporting back on Twitter as that was mentioned. And yes. There are actually voters on Twitter.

[Voltaire2]

16. 2016 was decided on Facebook and Twitter.

This ain’t the 80s.

[W_HAMILTON]

7. They'll see short clips on the news shows.

And those short clips will have more of a brutal impact than if someone sat through the entire debate.

10. Mike's defense of capitalism will play well to most voters.

Warren’s attacks on him will fade quickly. Just the way it is.

[Voltaire2]

15. Lulzd.

[thesquanderer]

18. Warren's attacks will get play on news and social media, and reach more people.

No one is going to be talking about Mike's defense of capitalism.

[stopbush]

8. You are correct. Very few voters watched this debate, which is now in the rearview mirror.

Mike haters are gonna gloat, but it doesn’t matter because he’ll keep running his ads everywhere.

And the next debate the field will not be able to rehash what were fairly effective attacks on each other. Been there, done that. Don’t need another food fight.

[RhodeIslandOne]

9. His ads are everywhere from sports programming to Comedy Central.

[Raine]

12. I see them all the time on the network TV channels

all day every day.

[Voltaire2]

14. Oh the stink from that will travel far and wide.

He can try blaming the dog.

[zackymilly]

17. The other candidates will use his words against him until he is just a memory. nt
