OT and for the record, the moderators from CBS News have been announced for the NEXT debate (not tonight’s):

“CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King will moderate the debate, joined in questioning by “Face the Nation” moderator and senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett and “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker.

Le sigh…

Can anyone older than Yoda please leave the stage and drop out of the race?

Good Lord – it looks like a family tree with the kids in the middle and cave paintings of their ancestors on the outside.

Maybe we could at least have only candidates who were born after electric lighting became commonplace?

BTW, with every debate, Sanders is looking more and more like this guy:

“We did release a memo which demonstrated that fact and we as a party need to think about who that candidate is and who best takes on Donald Trump in November.”

Elizabeth Warren. Bloomberg has too much baggage. If he wants to say he is the Independent, fine, but this is for the Democratic nomination, and he’s not really “we” for one thing.

What’s the over/under is on how many different ways he’ll suggest some variant of “both sides”?

About the same as the over/under on whether Trump will lie about his relationship with Rohrabacher again.

Actually, he did better than that-- told CNN that, in his relationship, he’s never had to pay hush money to a porn star after cheating on his spouse (really).

He had a great town hall last night on CNN.

I’m not giving up on him or dismissing him yet.

So heartwarming watching clips of Faux News in which they don’t even have to come up with their own attacks on our candidates but get to play “take Democrat A’s word for it about Democrat B”. All across the board.

Keep it up guys…working perfectly…clearly we’ve got this on lockdown…please proceed…

If you’re one of the center left candidates, your job is to attack Sanders, not Bloomberg. Bloomberg is not relevant to the NV caucus as he is not on the ballot. The best way for the center left candidates, Biden, Pete or Elena, to defeat Bloomberg is to beat Sanders in NV. If the center left candidates go after Bloomberg too much and he hits Bernie and Trump and stays on message, he’ll be the winner of the debate and the Tsunami to Bloomberg will commence.
