I didn't see the whole debate. Pete and Amy were out in the weeds clawing one another, Bernie waxed theoretical without substance (reminds me at times of John Andersen, 1980), Joe showed there's still spark but not brilliance, and Liz was earnest yet bludgeoning. Bloomberg was not welcomed to the club. He is an elite civic-minded businessman turned politician, aloof but highly intelligent. I hope they didn't turn him off. They should reach out to him and agree to disagree.

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