LAS VEGAS, NEV. — Mike Bloomberg’s millions in campaign spending flew right out the window Wednesday night. The billionaire’s self-bankrolled presidential bid was torn to shreds in the opening minutes of Wednesday’s Democratic debate as his opponents skewered him for his checkered past on sexual harassment and his record on stop-and-frisk. Each candidate on the Las Vegas stage attacked Bloomberg right out the gate, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren made the former Big Apple mayor visibly squirm and roll his eyes in frustration.

More people will see his ads than will watch the debates.

I have to say, it was a hoot to watch him squirm.

Reagan took on the Evil Empire. Bush II took on the 'Evil Doers' terrorists. Blameberg has conquored the Evil Soda Pop cup. Now that's a vision!

I appreciate that Bloomie is the only one who has the guts to call Fat Broads and Horse Faced Lesbians exactly what they are. But all that and two dollars is going to get him an overpriced coffee.

How could anybody maintain their composure when being scolded by their worst nightmare English teacher screeching in their face? Pocahontas is getting desperate and does not hesitate to bring the war arrows out quickly.

Bloomberg’s big miss of the night was when he failed to point out that Bernie’s ‘summer camp’ is actually a $575,000 lakesIde property that he was able to purchase by turning his political career into $$$. And don’t complain about it because he is your socialist master and is entitled to the spoils of the revolution.

This was the acme of modern media. So little content. So much drama.
Trump has the same tools in his tool box, and uses them. But his have the power of truth. That's the difference. The Leftist snark rings hollow with ad hominem attacks for breaches of loonie Leftist faith. Trump's snark rings true with claims of you're-getting-screwed-by-phonies.

Yeah but the old toad has billions of dollars to spend, so could end up as their candidate anyway. I heard Bloomie is poaching campaign workers from the other candidates too. They won't have enough staff for future contests.

Bloomie's billions are mainly targeted at PDT. He's doing what no Republican challenger can. Call it revenge, whatever. If he should win the nomination he will have done PDT a huge favor, clearing the field at his own expense and very likely depressing November turnout by the ascending radical Dems, such as The Squad and Bernie Bros. Regardless, look for a third party "moderate" ticket to emerge from all this. Trump must lose...that's the ultimate goal. Not anyone's victory.

I'm kinda wishing I had watched this last night. Sounds like it was quite entertaining with lots of cat fighting.

Chances are Bloomberg started out with the idea of being a stalking horse candidate for whoever Democrat gets the Democrat nomination, with Bloomberg himself, and using his money, to harass President Trump. But with the Democrats seemingly ending up in dire straights with a candidate who can defeat Trump in the general election may well end up nominating Bloomberg, who will then fraudulently portray himself as being more conservative than Trump.
If you watched Bloomberg in the debate last night it should have become evident that Bloomberg is in the same boat with Biden, both of them being too old to be the President in this fast moving world, and it is doubtful that either one of them could legitimately finish one four year term, not alone two four year terms. The leaders of the Democrat Party, including Barack Obama and the DNC know that, and if either Biden or Bloomberg are nominated the Democrat Party leadership will force them to accept a Vice-Presidential partner who the Democrat leadership want to take over the Presidency when that time is almost sure to come before the end of a first Biden or Bloomberg term. I would say that Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate will be someone who has not been on the national scene this year, and someone who would have no chance to be elected President in his or her own right.

So far he has spent 22 times what the second highest spending Dem has spent, and he has been at it a much shorter time.
And "Boom".....not a good ROI. Any reasonable CEO member would shut this disaster down and cut his losses.

I saw Pochohantas during a rerun this morning... Eww! Reminds me of a 6th Grade teacher I had! I assume she wears sensible shoes? Birkenstocks? Her "husband" must be a piece of work being the woman in the family!
