The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The nation will get its taste.

Just so that at some point, all the DEM candidates stop to recall that the real target is Donnie?

Don’t tell us what’s wrong with the other candidates, tell us how you’re going to actually / realistically beat Trump like a rented mule, while picking up the Senate and holding on to the House. That’s all that matters.

Well, as much as this nonsense has gone on for far too long at least they’ll be someone new and ever so attackable. Will I watch? Doubtful.

This asshole again.

Never can decide between chocolate and vanilla. Throw dulce de leche in there too…and just plain caramel.

Mike Bloomberg gave millions of dollars to Michigan governor Rick Snyder a couple of years ago because he “took on the unions”.

We can do better.

Me either. Highly doubtful.

I guess everyone is already expecting Bloomberg to be impaled tonight. I wonder if the attacks will be able to meet expectations? People might be disappointed if Bloomberg isn’t completely taken apart tonight. We shall see.

It’s going to be the Bloomberg vs Bernie vs Biden tonight. The battle of the elderly white men.

In November yes.

Wrong. It’s an election. Seeing how a candidate responds to attacks on their record and character is important as that is all the Republicans will do once they are the nominee.

Kid glove treatment of a primary opponent the worst thing that could happen to us.

No Democrat is going to say worse than what a Republican will send the nominee’s way.

That too.

Just curious: Has Mike Bloomberg disclosed his tax returns? Does anyone know?

That’s why I predict that the “fringe” candidates Buttigieg and Klobuchar will horn in with some pretty solid hits (like what Yang and Steyers used to do when they were fringe.)

In “normal” times I’d agree with you, but these ain’t normal times. Focus on Trump, not each other.
