It starts at 8 Central Time, and there’s a Trump rally starting at the same time. That’s all too late for me even to consider live-blogging, but I may write something tonight. Don’t expect much from me until tomorrow.
ADDED: My son John is live-blogging here. I’ll just say it’s awfully chaotic, with way too much Angry Bernie face. And I really can’t stand to hear them go on about health care. And by the way, Bloomberg blew his chance to make a decent first impression. He’s dull and he looks like death. Who did his makeup?

Amy has to check notes for mex pres name..
Bloomberg and Mayor Pete are calm.
There’s something to having responsibility to run something.
The Senators are just whiners. Inside baseball bullshit
Actually Bloomberg has a couple 'own goals' so he's negative
Release the NDA's!
Warren needs to attack. If Bloomberg survives, she's dead.
She knows it's him or her.
Inga writes: Yes Amy, that’s right humble is good.
Amy Jean Klobuchar, a humble woman with much to be humble about.
This is en fuego! This is the first debate my Bernie Brio daughter and ex-wife and my confused Portland liberal brother are watching. I can't wait for tomorrow's post mortem.
This is a 200-car pileup.
Pete has Amy shaking. She be real tough with Iran and Russia..cry herself to sleep after meetings.
Biden has energy, but he just gets flummoxed over his own words.
Not watching. Skeptical of the anti BBerg comments here. Sounds like a clown show overall. Debating how important knowing the Mexican President's name is?
Jesus......they just swung into global warming with some crank from a local Nevada newspaper.
Biden has gone to word salad. He doesn't even know what he is saying.
Warren needs to attack. If Bloomberg survives, she's dead.
Liawatha go on warpath. Count-um many coups.
“Release the NDA's!”
Yeah, Trump’s too.
Hard to take Dems seriously. They are debating NDAs and who knows the name of the President of Mexico
Things are going well in the US. This debate confirms it.
The global warming pivot gives all these clowns a reprieve. But that first hour was awesome!
Just switched it on for a second. Bloomberg is shorter than Warren.
Warren is a scold.
Warren went heavy on the Botox.
Warren is nuts. No mining! No drilling!
"Who did his makeup?"
The cryptkeeper. See, he's wearing a tie just like mini-Mike,

Most of Nevada was a nuclear bomb testing site.
“I'm for boring” repudiates boring. Althouse is to self awareness wear Florence Foster Jenkins was to singing.
There's a playground missing a supervisor somewhere.
Investments in science.
Lizzie took her ax and gave Bloomie 40 whacks. The Cherokee warrior in her cheek bones took over.
There is NO way that the other candidates or the party puppeteers would rally around Bloomberg even if he were to buy a substantial number of delegates.
No fracking!
Why does Sanders sound shit-faced!!
The Planet is at stake! Vote for me or die!
Bernie is going to be dead in 6 years. Not from climate change
Ok, we've moved to the 'rev up the base' segment.
Green New Deal now!
I make it a point never to watch political debates.
But it's fun listening to the commentariate here.
The Dems are going to kill your jobs. Then you.
Sanders is too old. Klobuchar looks like a Haloween mask. But shes most calm and looks okay when smiling.
“Bernie is going to be dead in 6 years. Not from climate change”
Then we’ll have President Warren
Bloomer needs to buy the nomination because he is not talking his way into it.
Climate change. Very exciting.
Warren is trying too hard.
Obama tried this bullshit.
It didn’t work.
2008 called. They want their dumb ideas back
Fucking Warren is idiot.
Inga: "Biden, Butti and Bloomy, bye bye."
The Not-So-Killer-"B"ees.
The more Liz talks the better we'll be. She is the second coming of my mean ole elementary school principal.
I'M RATHER GOOD LOOKING -- DEATH
If we get rid of subsidies, how are Bidens kids going to make a living?
We can never go back to a technocrat for president.
Dems need to pick a victim for November, then get to work on a state of the art candidate for 2024
Ryan: "Warren is trying..."
Very.
Biden is probably a very very sweet grandpa. I'm giving you my apolitical wife's off the cuff observations.
Me Llamo Elena
!Ai. Si. Yo quiero taco bell chihuahua carne. Solo carne. No taco belle
Joe wants to jail oil and gas executives? Planet destroyed? Forget winning Texas and Oklahoma.
What a fucking idiot.
Ninety percent of this bullshit is kamikaze politics aimed at emotionally fragile people like Inga.
Biden is going to make $50 dollar an hour jobs to solve the green new deal.
It doesn’t matter if Trumpists don’t like Warren, what matters is if us Democrats and independents like her.
Probably won't remember Bloomberg's face tomorrow. Says my wife. Who remembers all faces.
Yes. We are not going to war with China.
So next topic.
Word not used:
Nuclear
Inga: "It doesn’t matter if Trumpists don’t like Warren, what matters is if us Democrats and independents like her."
LOL
The answer to that question is also "no".
Mike making a come back.
He's pacing himself.
Pack has re-formed
Bernie wins!
Bolshevik Bernie gets easily agitated.
Say it 3 times fast.
I think Althouse needs a tag for carbon-neutral.
So Obama didn’t get it done.
Excellent indictment of his shit record.
These Dems don’t believe this shit anymore than Obama did.
Wife says Pete gets credit for trimming his eyebrows because he's probably a very hairy guy.
You're "likeable enough".....Lizzie...
Yeah, Bloomberg is not getting it done, no matter what his ads say.
Biden looks demented. Warren is scolding.
Bernie will probably be the sacrificial lamb. Probably Amy VP. Gotta have a woman even if no POC.
Please, please extend this debate another hour or two.
What the fuck is environmental justice??
1..Triple the cost of energy
2. People use less
3. Planet saved
Winning!
Why isn’t Warren discussing the plight of Cherokees?
A trillion dollars of reparation.
Didn't they use to detonate nuclear bombs in Nevada?
Warren: One trillion dollar bribe to blacks and browns. The new reparations.
Biden is spewing.
Inga: "It doesn’t matter if Trumpists don’t like Warren,
Only in the general sweetie. But she won't get there. Crazy Bernie will have the honor of doing a Mondale this time.
Word not used:
Nuclear
The other N word.
Biden said....."garner wealth".
Oh nooooo Biden said garner!
madAsHell: "What the fuck is environmental justice??"
Marxism.
Its marxism turtles all the way down!
It's 1988 Biden!
Pointin' right atcha!
Wife says Pete gets credit for trimming his eyebrows because he's probably a very hairy guy.
He's hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright.
He's hairy high and low. Don't ask me why. Don't know.
fifty dollars an hour plus benefits. Sounds like govt work..
Biden wants pppl to be able to garner wealth. YAY!
Inga: "Oh nooooo Biden said garner!"
I miss Jim Garner.
I think Buttigig gives a new sense to homosexuality. He can suck his own cock.
Warren confuses equity, and subsidies.
Bloomer thinks red-lining is a good thing!
Dead silence after Bloomberg says anything.
He couldn't scalp a few tickets for a supporter or two?
1. Triple the cost of energy
2. People use less
3. Planet saved
Actually, it's
1. Triple the cost of energy via a carbon tax, but only in the U.S.
2. Americans use less, driving down world energy prices
3. Rest of the world can now afford to use more energy, thanks to the U.S. taxpayer. World energy consumption hardly changes at all, but the U.S. is now subsidizing the rest of the world's energy consumption.
madAsHell: "Warren confuses equity, and subsidies."
She's a regular Paul Krugman.
If you ask me when Desperate Tomahawk's campaign will recover, a first pass answer is "never".
Bloomberg's just not saying the right things for a Dem crowd.
So far, nothing about Russia. Now they’re bashing China because that’s where they think Bloomberg is weak. Yet this is supposed to be our gobal-minded cosmopolitan party. Other countries only matter to them as weapons with which to bear opponents. Minorities similarly matter only when they can use them to embarrass opponents. This is far more entertaining than any Dem anything I’ve seen this political season, but this is not going to play well with women. Nobody seems nice except maybe Amy K, who’s a stretch for a VP and, being fair, a decent type to hold some cabinet secretary position given the people we’ve seen in those jobs. Huuuge night for Trump, who will seem much less awful to women who still find him problematic.
At least Amy K is a capitalist. Progress!
Yay Amy, Universal child care!
Goodnight. Bloomie is toast.The great white billionaire savior of the DNC and LLR is done. No way will he attract much Dem support.
Warren and Sanders will keep fighting for the leftists.
Amy, Buttgig and Biden all did ok.
So brokered convention? Hillary to the rescue!
"Let's talk about Donald Trump"
Yeah....that's going to be a winning argument.
Oh my God.
Yes Bernie, that IS immoral and wrong.
Mark: "Bloomberg's just not saying the right things for a Dem crowd."
He's only used to engaging on pro-China issues.
This shit show is gonna takes a week to clean up.
The Nevada caucuses on Saturday could have some crazy results.
Bloomberg brags that he's trying to buy support/influence with the Dems.
I think Bloomie is going to hit Bernie with the heart attack gun.
We need these clowns to keep hammering on Bloomer. After this debate, he might switch back to the Republican Party.
@Bay Area Guy, you think we want him?
Let’s just take all of Mike’s money.
Good for you Bloomberg, just give away all your money and then go away.
Obamacare was a gift to health insurance companies.
Yes, but the signature accomplishment of your next leftist heartthrob definitely won't be a gigantic expensive fraud that uses emotional manipulation of people like you to get into position to engineer the transfer of unfathomable amounts of money to enormous corporations.
You can trust Sanders and Warren to fight against billionaires. They're millionaires!
Call in an alpha strike, its likesomething out of cabin in the woods.
@Big Mike,
Hell No. But it'd be fun to waste his money.
This thing about Bloomberg's disastrous disqualification tonight is that only a relative handful of people are watching.
Bloomer just called Bernie a Communist (sorta).
Bloomie used the 'C" word.
read on twitter, bloomberg brought a wallet to a knife fight. seems about right. the rest of the dems seem intent on pushing things as far left as they can. and as loudly as they can. what a disaster any of that group would be as president. meanwhile, DJT is having a rally, promoting America and people who actually work for a living.
Jesus, Warren is hitting the Bingo black-out.
has the 'check injun' light come on in this klown kar?
is that a pile of money Bloombucks is standing on?
Apparently Amy is the nicest, most humble, with a sense of humor--
...traits that will come in handy losing in November.
Nominate her.
Next question
https://mobile.twitter.com/pbolyard/status/1230324933009518598
In an earlier comment, I noted Mayor pete's incipient mustache. Now i note Sen. Warren's frequent and loud intake of breath. I don't know that this hurts her among viewers, but it is a notable difference between Warren and any of the other candidates.
Mark: "This thing about Bloomberg's disastrous disqualification tonight is that only a relative handful of people are watching."
Best point made tonight.
As we speak hundreds of millions of Bloomy dollars are hitting the airwaves and social media waves in the form of ads that just about everyone will see.
We will see if this debate even matters.
Hasnt voting already been going on in several dem primary/caucus?
Bloomer was the missing ingredient in the democrat cocktail. This is great.
NBC has lost all control
Sanders will be the next President.
Bloomberg is toast.
Bernie & Bloomy can't work together. This is good for America.
Bernie is full of crap, Denmark is not socialist.
Inga: "Sanders will be the next President."
Uh oh.
Looks like Trump has no path to 270....AGAIN!
has the 'check injun' light come on in this klown kar?
You are going to smoke a turd in pergatory!!
LIVE STREAM VIDEO: President Donald Trump Holds Rally in Phoenix, Arizona
"..Angry Bernie face."
Shorten it to Angry Bern Face.
I get the sense Bloomie's presence isn't exactly lighting up the room.
Liz taking a tomahawk chop to Amy K!
Not watching, but saw this tweet from Piers Morgan a few minutes ago and after scrolling through the comments, it appears that Piers agrees with most of you - including Inga AND Begley (quite an accomplishment)
Pete didn't shave & was mean to Amy.
Amy's self-imploding.
Mike didn't prep & won't release his NDAs.
Bernie's getting very red-faced & won't reveal his medical records.
Joe knows every Mexican president.
Elizabeth is killing it, and Mike.
This is the best fucking debate, evah!!!
Diogenes of Sinope: "Bernie is full of crap, Denmark is not socialist."
Correct!
In fact, the Danish Prime Minister has angrily taken to social media to complain about morons like Sanders making that false claim.
All Trump's team has to do is run the Danish Prime Ministers comments after a clip of Sanders lying about it.
“This is the best fucking debate, evah!!!”
Better than the Trump rally!
of the Dems...
is Hillary the winner?
She's coiled, and ready to strike
Very entertaining! They suck so bad.
Mayor Pete slams Mayor Mini-Mike.
Yes, it’s what you stand for, that’s right Butti.
Inga: "Better than the Trump rally!"
LOL
Inga is so dense she doesnt understand that its the same group of people enjoying both....and for good reason!
Last Months Dems: How dare you call us Socialists!
Todays dems: You're darn right we are socialists!
Joe, Joe, Joe . . .
McConnel will be gone afer the election, stop focusing on him.
"The Nomination is under "the Big W" !"
Some Berno Bros are about to storm the stage and rob Bloomie.
Liz just kneecapped Slow Joe.
Both are toast, though, so it doesn't matter.
Amy, stand up for US citizens not illegal aliens.
Deport the Dreamers!
Why is Pete picking on Amy K?
Mayor Pete and Amy K are going to be the beneficiaries of Bloomberg’s largess. He they will play prominent roles in Bloomberg’s Democratic Party after Bernie wins the “popular vote” in the primaries. Maybe Bloomberg can even maneuver one of them into the nomination, although that would be surprising. The nomination and enormous defeat of Bernie will be a cleansing and clarifying experience. Mayor Pete should not have attacked Amy. It was good that they went at one another and Bloomberg in general, but Pete was doing well with the ladies in my house until then. He should have let her have the upper hand tonight.
Otherwise he did ok.
Oh boy, Butti, at least Amy was in a position to vote, you were a mayor.
He's on a box, right?
We need a poll.
Yes Amy kick his scrawny ass.
I like the tete a tete between Pete & Amy.
I warned them. Lizzie is a "no surrender" Scots Irish. She will keep fighting until Bloomie wastes his time begging her for mercy.
Final score:
Sanders 99
Biden 50
Amy K 40
Buttig 40
Warren 20
BBerg dnf
This is like the Hindenburg on steroids.
Awesome that minor candidates are spending precious time at each other's throats.
Sanders sure likes to "chop it up"...
Sanders 99
Warren 90
Amy 75
People won't like Bernie's policies.
And they won't like his face.
Screaming at us.
While his boot is on our face.
Forever.
That last question.... Bernie is foreordained to be robbed again.
“Awesome that minor candidates are spending precious time at each other's throats.”
Too bad the Republican candidates didn’t have the balls these Democrat candidates have and instead compared hand sizes.
Inga: "McConnel will be gone afer the election, stop focusing on him."
LOLOLOLOLOL
So delusional.
So marvelously insane.
Wait -- they sold debate commercial time to Bloomberg???
Klobuchar has been in DC a long time and has nothing to show for it.
Pete did a good job exposing her record of non achievement.
Also, don’t name drop Ted Kennedy if you pretend to give a shit about sexual harassment.
Was that just local or was it national?
Either way, it should not have been allowed.
A good estimate of the contenders' respective IQs.
Well done, Inga.
Losers Unite! — Klobuchar
mccullough: "Also, don’t name drop Ted Kennedy if you pretend to give a shit about sexual harassment."
Or drunken vehicular manslaughter.
Oof, Amy. I’ve won every race since the 4th grade is not a likable thing or a good boast.
Did Sen. Klobuchar say that "Dreamers are the future of this country"? Wow.
Meanwhile down in Arizona the Bad Orange Man keeps Making America Great. How dare he!
Judge Inga scores it more accurately than LB.
He's on a box, right? We need a poll.
No, Bloomie needs a pole.
mccullough: "Also, don’t name drop Ted Kennedy if you pretend to give a shit about sexual harassment."
Or Russian Collusion.
The climate plan would put travel out of business. So Vegas is gone.
Trump is in for a ride, can’t wait.
Ugh rich vulgar Bloomberg, just like Trump.
Things I don’t care about
Workplace jokes
Who had consensual sex with whom
NDAs
Names of foreigners
Who knows names
Bloomberg's closing statement was incomprehensible.
Doddering Joe did not impress.
Darn, is it over? I wanted it to go on forever.
I hope this goes on all summer up to the convention party in Milwaukee...and beyond.
Mayor Pete is the A student Klobuchar thought she was.
Liz Warren likes to fight, she tells us.
Warren’s first husband put her through school.
Can you hear what they are saying?
Protestors!
Yeah, Joe took down Corn Pop.
Think they all head over to the Cosmopolitan, have a drink together, play some blackjack?
No Russia and no impeachment talk. Hardly a word about Trump except a perfunctory orange man bad when a candidate ran out of steamfinal score:
Trump: winning
Dems: losers
The Pete and Amy show was interesting.
Sanders was very clear.
Bloomberg seemed overbearing.
Bloomberg somehow made the debate interesting - made the others speak out.
The candidates hacked at each other producing sound bites for the Repubs.
Wild promises about green change. Invent something which produces cheap green energy and then make it and sell it for lot of money and finance all the change. Or, short version, wave a magic wand.
In my opinion, Bernie did win tonite -- maybe not enough to get 50% on the first ballot. Bloomberg failed to convince. Biden seemed nonassertive. Mayor Pete is pretty smart, but I'm not sure that's enough. Klobuchar continues to look good on paper, but she doesn't sell on TV. Likewise Warren.
Bernie should tout the growth of wages for lower income people and how enforcing the border helps that.
That was his position in 2007. That’s what’s happened the last few years.
Sanders is the strongest, most compelling candidate on that stage. He’ll win the nomination. Warren as VP.
Perfect.
Order of finish --
Bernie
Warren
Pete

Bloomberg sounded like the frontrunner.
People shocked as Democrat Debate gets interrupted by random, typical Democrats shrieking in the back of the room.
Bloomberg wandering around, alone, post debate.
Couldn't he hire a 'friend' to ask for his autograph?
So no one took jabs at Berno for his staff O' thugs?
Today Inga: Sanders is the strongest, most compelling candidate on that stage. He’ll win the nomination. Warren as VP.
Perfect."
Yesterday Inga: Sanders/Abrams...perfect!
Tomorrow Inga: Sanders/Large cactus...perfect!
Amy for SoS.
Butti, run for Congress.
Biden, retire, go in peace.
Bloomberg, keep spending your money on Democrats, then go away.
In 1980, it was Ronald Reagan saying, "I paid for this microphone!"
In 2020, it was Bloomberg withering under the blows of NDA.
Two moments when a nomination was won and when a nomination was lost.
My daughter texted me--she's watching the debate--and observed how much Bloomberg reminds her of Joel Grey in Cabaret.
Biden is next out.
walter, they did. There was a pretty rigorous go 'round where they hit Bernie on his rabid, misogynist troll army.
He said he'll take care of it.
“Yesterday Inga: Sanders/Abrams...perfect!”
I’m flexible.
Mark Penn tonight: Sanders is so far outside the mainstream expect an independent to jump in the race if Sanders is the nominee.
Not surprising since Bernie didnt even work a real job until he was 40!
I guess I didn't miss much
