Bloomberg’s probably gonna take shots from everyone tonight. But who’s gonna take shots at Bernie? He’s the front runner right now, in case everyone forgot #DemDebates #NexstarDC

Damn. GAUNTLET DROPPED right out the gate from Elizabeth Warren. Harshest words in any debate so far #DemDebates #NexstarDC

Mayor Pete also came out fired up. Strategy is clearly to paint himself as the middle ground between socialist #Bernie and republican (#Bloomberg). He also answers my question -he’s obviously going at Bernie early/often #NexstarDC

So is it a sign of desperation to go after everybody hard on the stage? I only ask bc this is new for Elizabeth Warren. Haven’t seen it yet, but she’s now hit everyone on stage (minus Biden but it’s early) on their health care plans #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC

Still on #ElizabethWarren -much of the speculation on why her campaign slumped after her big surge was her backtrack on #MedicareForAll. If the gameplan for tonight was to take everyone else’s health care plans down a peg, wonder if it’ll be successful #DemDebate #NexstarDc

“We cannot stop people indiscriminately.” #Bloomberg -apologized for
-then defended because he said it worked to reduce crime
-then derided again
-then said he learned from #StopAndFrisk all in one sentence #DemDebate2020 #DemDebate #NexstarDC

It’s pretty clear everyone on the stage not named #Bloomberg has benefitted from going through a rigorous #DemDebate schedule before today. Seems like Mike is a lil drowned out, hard to come into the fray w/everyone else who’s been debating for months #DemDebate2020 #NexstarDC

I’m pretty sure Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar just shared a “did he really just say that?” moment #DemDebate #DemDebate2020 #NexstarDC

Warren taking over as moderator of this #DemDebate grilling #Bloomberg... The rest of us hearing his responses about multiple Non-disclosure agreements #DemDebate2020 #NexstarDC

Every attack on #Bloomberg is a moment Bernie Sanders, the current front runner, dodges and keeps his status #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC

The environment should be the arena where #Bloomberg shines here #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC

Still got a long way to go, but she’s running away with this debate #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC

Bloomberg asked directly by Chuc Todd about his redlining comments; denies he ever said them. There was a lot of reporting done on those comments. I imagine this will get scrutiny after the debate #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC

Sign of life from Bloomberg, and the first time I’ve heard him reflect back on a success from his stint in New York City #DemDebate #DemDebate2020 #NexstarDC

You get the feeling there’s real genuine animosity here. He seriously gets under her skin #DemDebate #DemDebate2020 #NexstarDC

Klobuchar every time Mayor Pete says anything #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate #NexstarDC

I will say this about Mayor Pete’s performance, from start to finish he was on message. anti-polarization in the party, can’t win w/socialist nominee that pushes the party so far to the left. You can say the same for Bernie, his greatest hits again but consistently on message.

Couldn’t help but notice Amy Klobuchar ran out and didn’t shake anyone’s hand. She got incoming from Pete and Elizabeth Warren-thats after Amy defended Warren twice tonight #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate #NexstarDC

Just heard some post-debate analysis about Joe Biden having “one of his stronger debates”. Was it?? He felt almost nonexistent to me tonight #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #NexstarDC
