Per Bloomie spin- doesn't really matter how he did as he won't be on Nevada ballot.

[Peregrine Took]

Er....but the whole world was watching! Are they so micro focused on a few states they forgot about the millions of us?

Admitting he was "rusty" they blamed his staff (!)) for not properly preparing him... OMG - more likely he refused to "prepare" himself in his arrogance. Do they really think a multi billionaire can be bossed around by his staff??

What an unpleasant person -yikes!

Quoting Donnie Deutch - do we want HIM coming into our house every night?

1. That debate was most Americans' first impression of him as a POTUS candidate outside of

his incessant commercials, which are clearly carefully produced and thereby obviously not the genuine article.

As first impressions go, it was not a good one. And it was made on voters from every state, not just NV.

[squirecam]

2. He's got the SC one

But I don’t see how he gets much better in less than a week...

[Kaleva]

4. Most people don't watch the debates.

Hillary mopped the floor with Trump i in the 2016 debates.

[squirecam]

5. They dont

But they do watch the highlights.

Bloomberg was on the receiving end of a lot of highlights.

[Devil Child]

8. Some of Sen. Warren's highlights with Bloomberg have millions of views on twitter alone

Great night for her and horrid one for Bloomberg. I am quite happy.

[Kaleva]

9. Trump was on the receiving end of a lot of highlights too.

Hillary schooled him but we are not working on preventing Trump from being re-elected.

[PatSeg]

3. Seriously?

I'm assuming he knew that the debate was televised nationally. What a ridiculous thing to say.

[Devil Child]

6. The other spin I'm seeing is "no one watches debates" and "the other candidates looked angry"

in laying into poor Bloomberg. Seems fitting he would throw someone else under the bus for his unpreparedness in debating highly qualified and excellent candidates. I'm sure he will exponentially increase his ad-buys to try and head off the debate disaster.

The more live Bloomberg the better. People will have their eyes opened to the real Bloomberg and not the sanitized made for TV advertisement Bloomberg.

Sen. Warren has skyrocketed in my eyes. A real fighter.

[Kaleva]

10. Warren did exceptionally well in other debates. Did you not watch them?

I like you.

You are fun.

[Devil Child]

11. Oh yeah, but Warren in action dismantling Bloomberg's manufactured image was heady indeed!

Can't be beat!

I like you too Kaleva, I'd treat you to a beverage of your choice and probably enjoy chatting with you IRL even if we don't see eye to eye on all things!

[Kaleva]

12. True! I actually enjoy sparring with you.

And it's not personal. Just a difference of opinion.

I mean, this would be a dull place if everyone agreed!

[Devil Child]

14. Exactly, I try hard (mostly successful) in not taking anything personal

Appreciate you don't take that approach. Agree about difference of opinion. Though there is great diversity in opinion here I believe we all want to see the Trump regime toppled and removed in 2020.

Take care mi amigo!

7. 2016 vs 2020

Bernie 2016: “The millionaires and the billionaires”

New 2020 Bernie: “not my fault I wrote a popular book and I am now a millionaire” “BUT the billionaires are now the cause of all your problems and only I, Sen. Sanders, this millionaire right here, can fix it”

If he writes another great book and becomes a billionaire, then how will he start every sentence?

Jesus said rich people don’t go to heaven and Marx said “the rich will do anything but get off the poor’s back.”

The millionaire revolution...with free heart attacks!

[aikoaiko]

13. Bloomberg didn't get it done.

His ads about him are BS
