Pete's Mayor Schtick is Wilting Under the Bloomberg Floodlights

I mean, there is simply no comparison when it comes to whose experience as a mayor has prepared him to be considered seriously for the presidency. And it ain’t Pete.

Plus, Pete’s snarkiness tonight made him seem small.

1. I didn't see the debate, but I never considered him a serious contender anyway.

He'll have the opportunity to build up his creds and come back to a Presidential run with a resume that's more than one page. Hopefully a little less Obama-wanna-be as well.

2. I thought Mayor Pete had a good night. (eom)

3. Bloomberg's past: far more problematic than Pete's, Mike's 'schtick' tonight was forced & saccharine

Pete never donated shedloads of cash to help elect a RW Rethug Senator like the odious Toomey, Pete never spoke at a Rethug convention, Pete never supported BushCo, and Pete always has been a Democratic Party member.

5. I would have to agree

Bloomberg is not at all an interesting speaker. Even with spending tons of money, he wouldn't do well against Trump. I've heard him speak several times now in the last few weeks, and I don't think he's the right person to win this election regardless of how rich he is.

Mayor Pete comes across as a lot more forthright and has far less baggage (and cash) than Mayor Mike. I don't think Pete is ready just yet for the big one and he's not as scintillating as Obama, but he has a great future in whatever he wants to do if he doesn't get it this time.

On the other hand, I greatly appreciate Mayor Mike's spending wads of cash dissing our Dear Impeached Leader! Spend away, Mayor Mike.

6. If Pete stumbles, I am all in on Biden, we must stop Bernie in order to stop Trump

7. Wrong

8. I disagree. My CA ballot has been sitting on my desk for a week, and after the debate tonight,

I decided to vote for Buttigieg. I went with my heart and my head, as he is clearly the most intelligent candidate I've seen in years.

9. ROFL

Embarrassing post.

10. Even if this was true, his Military experience and calm makes the others look bad

He doesn't yell and his knowledge and experience in the military and how he addresses issues is a big plus and may win many over and away from others.

Bloomberg did much better last night compared to last week, but it would have been hard to not do better.

I didn't think Pete was snarky at all. I think after Biden, he had the best night.
