First question in tonight's debate is about Bloomberg, who is on the stage for the first time in this primary campaign
The stage is already en fuego after only two minutes. Bloomberg says Sanders can't beat Trump. Warren jumps in and labels Bloomberg an 'arrogant billionaire.'
After Klobuchar zings Bloomberg for his campaign's call to get out of the race, Bloomberg very calmly says, "I'm a New Yorker I know how to take on an arrogant con man" like Trump.
Biden says he is the most electable according to the polls, and hits Bloomberg on stop and frisk in NYC. Buttigieg blisters both Sanders and Bloomberg. "Let's put forward someone who is actually a Democrat"
This debate probably should have been held in a boxing ring out in the Caesar's parking lot like Ali-Holmes
WARREN now slashing Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Bernie on health care plans
Warren says Buttigieg has a 'Power Point' health plan, says Klobuchar's health plans would fit on a "Post-It Note"
Bloomberg has been off to the side and out of the spotlight for a while now, as the other candidates fight about health care. Probably fine with him.
Bloomberg now being run through the ringer about 'stop and frisk' policy when he was Mayor of NY.

I'm reminded of something Royal once said on his call in show about a politician he was interviewing, "I'll hold him, you hit him."
Asked about his tax returns, Bloomberg says he's assembling them, but they will run into thousands of pages. "I can't go to Turbo Tax." The other Democrats immediately ask to comment.
Warren takes over the Q&A and zeroes in on Bloomberg
Bloomberg was fine in the first 20 minutes. But the last 15 minutes have been a rough debate hazing ritual
At the break, here's your early AP lede which will be in many newspapers around the country in the morning
Can't wait for the morning headlines in the NY Post and the Daily News
The game plan for Buttigieg tonight was evidently to try to poke holes repeatedly in Klobuchar. He hasn't stopped.
