Bloomberg is going to fuck this up isn't he? Pete should be getting shit on, but I have a feeling that everyone is going to shit on Bloomberg instead.
Idk bankrupting a casino seems pretty difficult. Might require some real business acumen. Maybe this group just doesn't have what it takes.
Bernie needs to stay out of Warren's lane tonight.
Warren, with a demonstrable history of decimating billionaires, will be taking the first pitch.
It's going to be a juicy debate to be sure.
I'd much rather it be about Democratic ideas and policy, but really this needs to happen and get Bloomberg out of the race.
I'll probably tune in just to watch Bloomberg get decimated, but he is going to try to take the whole party down with him and maybe I'm better off not watching. I'm trying to not drink so much these days, so yeah...I'll just follow along on Twitter I guess.
I don't know. An 80 year old heart attack victim that the media and government are fighting against who won't show his medical records? I mean, yes, this is the Trump way of politics but the DNC / Democrats aren't the RNC / Republicans. So I see it all going very poorly.
Though there is similar treatment of Warren by the media too. So I guess it's just bad all around for everyone.
I don't think Bernie has to dunk on Bloomberg. The moderate candidates have more to gain from attacking him, and less to lose. I think Bernie will make some pointed criticisms but I actually expect Biden to go hardest.
Sanders will do what he always does: stay on policy and use that policy talk to beat his opponents, mostly Bloomberg. Part of me wishes more candidates realized this is how you win. But then another part of me wants Klobuchar to throw the sexual harassment cases at Bloomberg because it's not like she's going to focus on policy anyway.

What a thread title LOL
This is at Paris? Oh shit, I better leave work early, they might block my route home.

I hope they all do. This is going to be Must See TV for sure. Maybe Amy will throw a stapler at him for real.
Trump's on his way to Vegas too because his toad can't stand not getting any shine.
Or he still thinks the AVNs are going on.

MSNBC: Senator Sanders, you've said your programs will be "good" but why are so many people saying they are bad? Are you calling all people liars?!?!
"Senator Bernard Sanders, when you begin killing journalists in the streets, who will be first?"
Does anyone else think this imminent trashing of Bloomberg is going to benefit Buttigieg? Feel like he's going to fly under the radar instead of being trashed

Bloomberg will draw all the heat but unlike Trump it won't benefit him
I expect a Sanders KO in the 8th round

"you can't tell me who to vote for" is the driving force in American politics.
Given the choice between Bloomberg and Pete, I think Pete's a no-brainer. I don't care who else flies under the radar - I want to see Bloomberg bodied by every other person on stage. I want to hear boos from the audience when he speaks (if there's actually an audience). I want the party to wholly reject him as a candidate (though I doubt I'd get that wish).
I hope everyone uses this as an opportunity to destroy Bloomberg. This is their only real chance before Super Tuesday.
The noms need to be careful of making this into an "all Bloomberg" debate. I think if anything, if they are all on attack specifically at him, that would have the opposite effect and would pave his road to the nomination. I know everyone wants to see their person go after Bloomberg, but look at the Republican debates leading to 2016. They were essentially the Trump show and that lead to no one else standing out.
If someone wants to win, they need to demonstrate why their leadership, and plans would be best to beat Trump, not just rehashing over and over why Bloomberg sucks, or whatever. If Bloomberg is the star of this debate and the guy on camera speaking or being spoken about every stinking minute- he won. Just saying.

While you're right that it can't be all about taking digs at Bloomberg (just like it can't all be about "let's get rid of Trump"), I remember the early Republican debates, where everyone was playing nice with Trump, hoping to pick up his base when he inevitably dropped out. This is a different situation, in that Bloomberg entered the race late and we're already into the primaries and he hasn't been on a debate stage yet. I don't want anyone holding their punches - just make sure they connect.
So Bernie's now the front-runner, but since there's an even number of candidates on stage, he'll still be sharing center-stage with Biden? Yay.

I wanna see a bloodbath of them raking Bloomberg over the coals. He should walk away from the debate looking like Bilbo after giving up the Ring.
I kinda want to stay up and watch but I'm also sick and it's 9PM my time... I'll probably watch a little to see the general tone of how things go.
