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?

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 587 of 587Inga: "I’m flexible."
Just like obama's quid pro quo on an open mic with Putin's boy Medvedev.
Limited blogger,
Thanks for that info.
Filed under believe it when I see it though.
Any Milwaukee folks here with assets within Fiserve center?
(radius of)
Biden disses 9/11 and Pearl Harbor both! And the Opelousas Massacre where Democrats murdered over 250 blacks!
Oh boy now I have second thoughts about Warren—she is a samurai who cut cut anyone down including Trump.
"Fat broads and horsefaced Lesbians!" (Liz quoting Bloomy)
MadisonMan, it was pretty good.
Try to find some clips on YouTube.
It was 'free form', the moderators weren't even involved.
Burnie won. My fiancee agrees, and she has experience dealing with communists promising the sky and divering clay.
I hope they go with Burnie. I want a good dust-up. Fix the target. Assess the index. Demo.
Warren is a ferocious warrior, it’s in her blood...
By the way, Berno has repeatedly surrendered his lectern/podium/speaky thing to randos last time as well as this go-round.
Count him MIA if shit really hits the fan.
roesch/voltaire: "I have second thought about Warren—she is a samurai who can cut down anybody including Trump."
LOL
Tomahawk Chop-gal isn't going to win.
Ha! Which blood?
But Bernie won and will keep on winning until his heart stops beating. God forbid. Then Warren will step into his shoes.
I saw in an AP report earlier today that if Mr. Bloomberg were to win, he would place his company in a blind trust, sell it, and donate the proceeds to his philanthropies.
Has anyone else seen this from other sources?
Or is it something one says when one has no chance of winning?

So...many....jokes....must....control...reaction....
Warren= 1/1024 "warrior"....
I assume Bloomie will claim victory, and produce some 30 second edited ad shots that show it.
Platform shoes
Who Wore Them Better?
Bloombox?
I feel very good about Trump's chances after watching that clown show.
Trump is indeed fortunate in his enemies.
We need these debates every night!
"Warren will step into his shoes."
Sorta reflexive in her case...
Trump won’t know what hit him in a debate, which he won’t do. He knows better.
Inga: "Her American blood."
LOL
Please God, make this a Warren campaign theme......please please please...

Yeah, President Hillary just wiped the floor with him.
No wonder Mike B is anti-gun. He shot himself in the foot five or six times tonight. While there MAY have been good answers about Stop and Frisk, Taxes and the NDA's, the ones given.... PeeYuuuuuu. Did he not anticipate these kinds of questions? At all?
Warren was fierce, but I think her canoe has sailed. Bernie owns her role.
Mayor Pete and Amy...sorry, they are eating at the kid's table.
Biden woke up two or three times, but "C'mon man!".
The Nevada caucuses this Saturday, and NASCAR race is in Las Vegas Sunday, gonna be exciting weekend there.
Related: Ryan Newman, driver involved in crazy finish line crash at Daytona 500, walked out of Halifax General Hospital holding his two daughter's hands. Amazing he is ok.
Sometimes, I think Inga is here just to set up jokes for Drago.
Sorta like Gracie and George Burns.
and they criticize Trump
...for his involvement in the WWE
So, how was Trump’s rally?
Oh wow! Andrew Yang on CNN now doing 'punditry'!!
Excellent.
And I really can’t stand to hear them go on about health care.
How horrible it must be for you that more Americans care that their nation no longer remains the only industrialized country to kill thousands of its own annually through lack of coverage than about the theatricality of their leader, which is apparently the only part of the job that interests you. What a crime against humanity.
Your parents must be really proud to have raised someone like this.
Hopefully someday you'll grow up and learn to get your drama from fiction and a sense of purpose from fighting for leaders who take life and death issues seriously. You know. Like how normal people do it.
Bloomberg’s strategy is to project calm competence. He’s trying to win over the non crazy Dems. He’s not going to acknowledge that Stop and Frisk or some NDAs are a big deal. The people who give a shit about that stuff aren’t voting for him. If you’re explaining
then u are losing.
He talked about how NYC went from 650 murders to half that. The guy defended the policy while giving a non apology.
Bloomberg doesn’t give a shit about people’s feelings.
So, how was Trump’s rally?
Watching it now. He's keeping America great!
Dude's nowhere to be seen when the Dems are trashing each other(especially Bloomberg), and shows up now to ignore that and simply and tediously trash Trump.
Inga: "So, how was Trump’s rally?"
Large. Raucous. An absolute blast. Waiting for the most important numbers:
# of attendees who are registered democrats
# of voters who did not vote for Trump in 2016
# of voters who did not vote at all in 2016
# of voters who are suburban women
# of voters who are minorities
You know, unimportant "stuff" like that.
Not surprising since Bernie didnt even work a real job until he was 40!
Neither did Trump. Oh wait, he still doesn't.
There arent enough of those in the prim.ary to matter. How they still trust democrats after obamacare is startling.
Healthcare in this country must be great. We pay for stents for 80 year old communists. The other places ration.
Of course, Comrade Bernie is going to get treated. It’s some other old guy whose going to get rationed to death
"the only industrialized country to kill thousands of its own annually through lack of coverage"
Damn that Obamacare!
Sorry Amy, but we need to see candidates that can beat Trump who are strong, intelligent and fearless.
Bloomberg doesn’t give a shit about people’s feelings.
Well, the Dems are all about feelings.
Bloomberg won by a lot.
On a stage of character actors he came off as a real guy who questioned himself.
He has been studying Reagan's performances. Remember how Reagan's debate performances were so often stumbling but he always had one or two minutes of sheer sprezzatura that even the liberal 3 networks had to show again and again the next day?
Bloomers did that tonight.
Also Bloomberg was a way better mayor of NYC than the current guy.
The stupid stuff they threw at him was no more effective than the lies about Trump allegedly claiming he actually "grabbed then by the pussy."
Sanders has got to stop pretending he is Bert yelling at Ernie.
It will be Bloomberg v Sanders from now until the end of April.
If Sanders can stop trying to treat the rest of America as Ernie to his Bert, he has a chance to stay on top of the polls.
I don't think he can stop though, because, as Jeeves used to say, when explaining people to the other Bertie (Drones Club not Muppetville)
"it is the psychology of the individual"
HoaxPPT, looks like you just may get Sanders after all.
I watched for half an hour or so and couldn't stand it. It was so bad that I was willing to turn to the Sean Hannity show--almost as bad and then went looking for something else.
Bernie's "angry face" makes me think that he's going to have a stroke if he doesn't calm down. When I was a young man I'd get very upset about things--mad enough to snap some muscle fibers in my back--producing a blood clot--which in turn made me lean over at about a 30 degree angle to take the pressure off the clot.
I stopped that at age 22 when my childhood general practitioner told me that the next snapped blood vessel or muscle might be in my eye--creating a blind spot-- or lead to a stroke. Well that made me think I'd better learn to control my emotions--and I did.
Bernie on the other hand keeps having steam come out of his ears and eyes. You can't be President (not that I want him to be) if you've "stroked out" before the election.
Also Bloomberg was a way better mayor of NYC than the current guy.
Lowest bar evah!
SC -- with all respect. You seem to be a decent guy. Big on faith too.
But I gotta ask -- is your church one of those that uses peyote?
Warren was on the war path, but I don't think she won any votes beyond the true believers. Remember how everyone said Carli Fiorina destroyed, utterly destroyed Trump with her pithy put downs. Maybe not. She struck me as being more hectoring than forceful. I know. Misogyny on my part, but there you have it. Klobuchar was marginally likable. I could live with her for four years....Bernie struck me as obnoxious and opinionated. He's more irritating than Warren so maybe there are limits to my misogyny....Buttigieg was okay, but his poise and sincerity look a little rehearsed. That incipient beard was definitely premeditated.....Biden wasn't befuddled but he looked like a spent force....Bloomberg didn't have such a good debate, but his dullness was vaguely reassuring. He seemed a little aloof. When you have thirty or forty billion dollars, it's hard to be engaged in such foolishness. I could live with Bloomberg. That's not to stay I will vote for him.
Well hell be like brezhnev who were they were toting around months after he died.
Inga: "Sorry Amy, but we need to see candidates that can beat Trump who are strong, intelligent and fearless."
Strange.
We were told Hillary was the most brilliant, most competent, most fearless (she dodged sniper fire!), most experienced, toughest and most capable candidate to ever run for the Presidency.
We were told each of those things. Literally. Repeatedly. Endlessly. In every possible venue.
“SC -- with all respect. You seem to be a decent guy. Big on faith too.
But I gotta ask -- is your church one of those that uses peyote?”
Ohhhhh now that is funny! I was wondering what McCullough was smoking when he said Bloomberg won.
Sanders after all.
I don't care who wins, as long as they're not a psychotic phony who actually believes that favors to Wall Street today will build this nation, unite the country and safeguard the posterity of our resources. And who doesn't require constant kissing up to his fragile ego. You do realize that your party is fucked to have rooted every election they run and every issue they take up around this guy and his constant mental problems, don't you?
“We were told Hillary was the most brilliant, most competent, most fearless (she dodged sniper fire!), most experienced, toughest and most capable candidate to ever run for the Presidency.

Not by me and not by many many Democrats and liberals. Bernie and Warren are not Hillary. Not by a long shot.
Watching the two elderly New Yorkers go at each other was entertaining.
It made me think of a board game a friend of mine owned back in the early '80's called "Class Struggle" which had a great cover:
https://boardgamegeek.com/image/56251/class-struggle
Dude, which party is fucked at the moment? Did you even watch this debate? Non sequitors can be fun, but this was a historic debate for those few paying attention: the Dem Party is destructing before your eyes. It is, hopefully, creative destruction, but destruction it most obviously is.

So you DO care if Bloomberg wins?
Bloomberg will never release those NDAs because it would show Trump pays much less than Bloomberg in these settlements. Art of the Deal.
Angry Amy’s former staffers enjoyed Mayor Pete exposing Klobuchar.
“Are you saying I’m dumb?” Worst rhetorical question ever.
Its likr the end of the 1966 batman film

Loudmouth NYers took over the world about four years ago. Nice that the rest of America is finally seeing it.
Did you even watch this debate?
As I said, he was nowhere to be seen during the debate. He's here now to ignore all that and simply go on yet another anti-Trump tirade. And consequently bore anyone who bothers to read what he says.
The winner of the Democratic Debate has been the same in each and every debate.
TRUMP!
Bloomberg is sane. He’s testing whether there are enough sane democrats. His only chance to win. No sense pandering to idiots
Didn't watch it. Listened to it by proxy, though. Mrs. NorthOfTheOneOhOne was watching it on her ChromeBook. Don't know why, but when she first started watching it I could have sworn she was watching an SNL cold open. What irritating voices they all have!
I'm not up on all the new peanut gallery goers. Is someone actually contending that Bloomberg is more psychotic and unhinged than Trump?
Amy just on CNN with Erin Burnett. Still pissing and moaning about mayor Pete.
Think those two are knocking each other out.
Guess Bloomberg's strategy is working.

Is that really what is happening?
If so, let's keep that going vs campaign Sui-Sanders.
"Warren is a ferocious warrior, it’s in her blood..."
I hope that was written with a little puckish irony because, if so, that's pretty funny.
Why is Bloomberg calling women "Fat Broads and Horse-faced Lesbians?"
I'm pretty sure I saw "Fat Broads and Horse-Faced Lesbians" open for "The Hooters" at the Electric Factory in '81.
It's great to see all of the last century's cold warriors chiming in to make sure that we make 2020 about re-defeating the Soviet Union, even if we have to adopt their own environmental policies to do it. That's important.
But apparently people younger than 25 will somehow manage to vote in this election. How unlikely that we won't be able to make this November about all the over 70 year olds, and the people who think and vote like them.
How atrophied must one's brain be to think that 2020's election will be fought along 1984's lines.
Mayor Pete was polite to Klobuchar. She’s a DC fixture with no accomplishments. Totally fair criticism. His dig about Senators telling mayors how it’s done was good. That hit her and Warren and Bernie. They are talkers. Debaters. Worthless.
Bloomberg showed a grudging respect to Mayor Pete. He thinks he’s a worthy candidate.
“Bloomberg is sane. He’s testing whether there are enough sane democrats. His only chance to win. No sense pandering to idiots”
No one said he wasn’t sane. He’s a billionaire with the arrogance and baggage billionaires carry. We don’t need women coming out in October violating their NDAs. And we don’t need more billionaires being president.
People under 25 don’t vote in anywhere close to the level of middle age and older people.
Bloomer: "Fat Broads & Horse-faced Lesbians"
Biden: "Lying, Dog-Faced, Pony-Soldiers"
Why are Dem candidates obsessed with equestrian put-downs?
And consequently bore anyone who bothers to read what he says.
C,mon man! He is Christopher Hitchens, Oscar Levant, Joan Rivers and Eddie Murphy rolled into one.
Always fresh. Witty. Loquacious. Unpredictable.Stimulating. Perpetual angry young man, pushin' fifty and feeling nifty. Smartest guy here but too modest to say it. Med school drop-out and super scientist...
Shes not going anywhere, this is an entire party stuck in the sense dep tank in altered states,
HoaxPPT: "I don't care who wins, as long as they're not a....don't you?"
Agree to disagree.
“Warren is a ferocious warrior, it’s in her blood..."
“I hope that was written with a little puckish irony because, if so, that's pretty funny.”
Indeed, I was chuckling as I wrote it.
Unfortunately I did things involving having a life tonight and didn't catch any of this debate until the last 10 minutes. What's the latest right-wing spin... that Bernie is angrier and more unhinged than Trump? Wow, the Re-plundericans must be stupider than we realized.
So we should be governed by Millionaire Senators with 3 houses in the Whitest Neighborhoods?
Ridiculous.
All these people are wealthy. Bloomberg is just off the charts wealthy.
“People under 25 don’t vote in anywhere close to the level of middle age and older people.”
Oh I think we’ll all be surprised at how many young people come out to vote for Bernie.
Now that his former calculated fave Biden is fading, Hack PPPTTTT is gradually reverting to his naturally ageist predilections.
Mark - thx for reading. Let me try to explain.
I've been wrong before but I spend most - actually almost all - of the time I spend with other people with the losers in life.
That is because of my religion, trust me I would rather spend my time with other people with the winners in life if I were not convinced that the joy God wants us to share in life is the only valuable commodity we have any real chance of accruing and enjoying and giving away .....
After decades of living that way I react to politicians the way losers in life react to them.
I respect your opinion, but ....
Sanders is not likable to the losers in life who don't think about politics much, Bloomberg is.
And people who do not think about politics much are the swing voters, I think.
Well maybe not this election cycle, who knows ....
Also I am rooting for Bloomberg because while Sanders cannot win in November, he can step aside after the convention and let his VP win for him. Bitter old people - a class of people about whom I am an expert - can be very tricky that way.
Bloomberg has much less chance of winning in November than Sander's chosen VP. And Bloomberg will not step aside to let his VP candidate win.
I am old enough to remember how much people liked Nixon because he reminded them of himself, with all his faults. He actually won 2 presidential elections and some people say he won 3.
By the way I realize that sometimes the people I spend time with realize that I think they are among the losers in life.
And they don't like it, and I get that, so sometimes I open up to them and let them know how lousy my life has been.
Or sometimes I don't bother.
I would make a lousy politician.
anyway in this 500 comment thread there are lots of takes that are more astute than mine, I am just calling balls and strikes the way I see them.
Bernie ripped drug companies and then two minutes later talked about how great his stent procedure went.
You can’t make this shit up. The Man is an Old Communist from the Whitest State. The stent was t invented and manufactured by The Party.
Next time he has a head attack, send him to Venezuela
People under 25 don’t vote in anywhere close to the level of middle age and older people.
They will this year. Your adulation of an angry old moron and dogged pursuit of policies more hostile to them (and so many others) than have ever before guarantees it.
Does the previous comment claim that neither our Inga nor liberal Democrats supported Hillary! What a fantastic rewrite of blogging history. (Or shall she quibble and say she supported HER but she was not brilliant, competent, or fearless.)
Klobuchar - shaky head and shaky voice. Don’t see her negotiating with anyone. Passed 100 bills. So? Were they impactful?
Mayor Pete. Best performance. Seemed measured and willing to engage. Bad suit color. Liked he is trying to not shave.
Bernie. Just yells. Had 50 years of govt service to make an impact. But didn’t.
Biden. Moments of consciousness. Mumbles a lot and struggles about what he is trying to say. Thought he was having a stroke a couple times.
Bloomberg. Deer in headlights. A couple good come backs. Slammed Bernie on 3 houses. Claimed to be a capitalist. History of banning lots of things. Too autocratic and used to getting his way.
Warren. Took shots at Bloomberg. Tired of her lecturing.
Was there anyone else?
Watched with kids. 16 and 19. Much laughter on the proposition that these people should be leading us.....
Sounds like dana ward the anarchism expert from pitzer college, smells like him patcouli and other scents.
Of course bloomberg cant actually compare to what his successor is doing to his fair city, because he didnt defend his tecord.
...his former calculated fave Biden...
Mine?
Read much?
Here’s a simple experiment.
Compare the turnout for Bernie, by age, in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2016 and 2020.
Bloomberg is right. There are not enough communists to win a general election.
Unlike contractor's unfortunate experiences with high school and community college I never dropped out of anything.
But apparently he believes that everyone's highest aspiration in life must be to do a rectal exam.
You go, girl.
Mark - thx for reading. Let me try to explain.
I've been wrong before but I spend most - actually almost all - of the time I spend with other people with the losers in life.
That is because of my faith in a loving God, trust me I would rather spend my time with other people with the winners in life if I were not convinced that the joy God wants us to share in life is the only valuable commodity we have any real chance of accruing and enjoying and giving away .....

Drudge Poll has Bernie, Amy and Mike..
Yes Inga, if socialist thugs see potential, they will show up big time.
Bloomberg is right. There are not enough communists to win a general election.
You don't have to be a communist to care more about your own economic well-being and those below you with the pitchforks than about some known or unknown wealthy exec and his tax "burden." Especially when his highly lucrative internet company pays zero in taxes to the United States.
Just not a moron.
The political obsessives here just cannot understand their own minority status.
“Does the previous comment claim that neither our Inga nor liberal Democrats supported Hillary! What a fantastic rewrite of blogging history. (Or shall she quibble and say she supported HER but she was not brilliant, competent, or fearless.)”
I didn’t support her or vote for her, but I would’ve rather had her as president than Trump any day. I voted third party, but I’ll never do that again. Not many Democrats and liberals will be voting third party this time around, no matter who ends up being the nominee.
Bernie flies around in a private jet and has three houses.
He cares only about himself. They all do. The guy is a politician.
He’s not a pediatrician in low income area or a teacher there. He doesn’t like minorities. That’s why he left New York. Wanted to live around white people.
The political obsessives here just cannot understand their own minority status.

How self-unaware is it for someone who literally has no life at all outside of this highly political blog to make that comment about others?
Communists care only about their easily-earned sense of moral superiority. Bernie Sanders lives a great life. He’s very wealthy. Private jets. Good meals. Great healthcare.
Much easier to be a blowhard Senator than actually do anything. DC is filled with them.
Why is Warren gasping for breath while she's talking? Have Mike and Bernie sucked all the oxygen out of the room?
Enough to see you rise (pathetically) to his defense...on a couple occasions here recently.
BIden's not a hard guy to defend... against Trump. Most people aren't. In case you haven't noticed.
To equate that with "fave" (when it comes to presidential job candidates) just shows how poor your sense of prioritization is.
I am amazed that so many people actually watched this clown show.
Ritmo seems calm tonight. He must have worked the fryolator instead of dealing with the public.
Warren is another bullshitter. Made big bucks teaching the privileged elite at Harvard Law.
But she’s a great person. Just ask her.
Communists care only about their easily-earned sense of moral superiority.
I think what we non-Nazis care about is science. And the future of that "general welfare" our constitution says it's all about promoting.
So I guess that makes us morally superior. Or maybe it just makes you (feel) morally inferior. And that's not really an argument though now, is it?
Oh, oh..my bad PPPTTTTTT.
biden is clearly defensible. Got it.
Soooo...who is yer "fave"?
Ritmo,
You are not a good person. You are an asshole. Righteous indignation is your mental illness.
Super secret scientist saving world with "research"....
A contractor with a chip on his shoulder can't get away with just outright proclaiming, "I HATE SCIENCE!" so he just spews whatever crap and blows harder.
Whatever gets more residents' houses in his state to burn down, I guess. But he should at least be upfront with the fact that this is his agenda.
“I think what we non-Nazis care about is science.”
Warren mentioned the value of science tonight.
Oh, oh..my bad PPPTTTTTT.
biden is clearly defensible. Got it.
In re: the Ukraine fiasco/Crowdstrike conspiracy theory? He certainly is.
But I get it. Without conspiracy theories you wouldn't have anything to believe in. But you'd still get to deny whatever it is Trump does that he tells you to deny.
Warren said she believed she was a Cherokee because she had high cheekbones.
That’s science.
When she paid for actual science, the DNA test results showed she was full of shit.
She’s also against nuclear. Because it pills bad with her ignorant supporters.
Of course, her carbon foot print is very high flying around on the private jet. That’s how important t science is to her.
Without duo Biden, you wouldn't have a big enough scam to defend.
Sad!

Wow, Arizona! Big Phoenix rally.

✅ 26% Didn’t Vote in 2016
✅ 18% Democrats
Thank You Arizona. Winning Data!
It's great to see all of the last century's cold warriors chiming in to make sure that we make 2020 about re-defeating the Soviet Union
Again, you are criticizing Bloomberg, who railed against "the communists" tonight.
You are not a good person. You are an asshole. Righteous indignation is your mental illness.
Awwwww.... What's a matter, did your pacifier fall out?
Who the fuck is so lonely that he lives to be treated well in pseudonymous comments section on the fucking internet? THis is not Cheers, "mccullough," and no one here comes because they all know your name.
But they can point out that unrighteous apathy is your own mental illness. And it seems to be at the root of every evil the world has ever seen. Like all those people who did nothing in Europe during WWII. That's you, "mccullough." Those people are your kind, morally speaking. Or immorally, as is your case.
All that's necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. But poor mccullough, he's not even good enough to be called out for doing nothing. He's a moral weakling who demands to be treated respectfully as a moral equal to men of average means. Which would be funny if it weren't so ridiculous.
Go f yourself, mccullough. While others watch. ANd do nothing.
Ritmo,
Your symptoms are showing. Feel the righteous indignation course through your nerves.
You are an asshole. You post to feel superior. You’re not a good guy. You are an asshole.
Be better.
By the time bernie had shown up, the butchers bill in the soviet union was about 40million.
When she paid for actual science, the DNA test results showed...
the same thing anyone's DNA results show. THat they might have an interesting ancestor or two from way back in their family tree.
Unless their name is "mccullough," in which case they bury their family trees and all the unremarkableness hiding about within them.
If only all Americans were as ashamed of their ancestry as mccullough and his right-wing replunderican friends were.
Hey, Trump's granddad ran brothels in Alaska because even his native Germany didn't want a criminal coming back to it... for a draft!
And Trump's daddy (the guy who trust-funded Trump) told Trump to lie and say they were Swedish.
I guess some people are really ashamed of their ancestry. Or at least, Trump and his followers are.
INteresting.
Didn't watch the debate but did skim most of the comments here, although I've just now realized I skipped from 201 to 401. I gather that Senators Warren and Klobuchar seemed to be feeling 'kind and inclusive' throughout the evening.
C'mon Hoax-y,
If last week's fave Biden isn't making it for you anymore, who is?
Or at least specifically cry out for the issue good myn need to do something about..
to be fair , cheers was not cheers either.
She’s also against nuclear.
So is our walking dictionary because it is so scary. Believes Scientists are incapable of neutralizing danger of waste but can change the climate through taxation...
High cheekbones is phrenology. Not science.
Neither party cares about science. Neither party cares about truth. That’s obvious.
Except for people who need to delude themselves. They need to idealize one side to attack the other. It’s a mental problem.
Ritmo,
Your symptoms are showing. Feel the righteous indignation course through your nerves.
You are an asshole. You post to feel superior. You’re not a good guy. You are an asshole.
Be better.
Translation: "My name is mccullough and unless you come across as unremarkable, ignorant and apathetic as me then I feel threatened and will call you names and say you are mean."
Don't worry mccullough. There are plenty of people who are not only not way less unaccomplished than you, but not bashful about it either. But that's life. You should get used to it. Their not being as below-average as you doesn't make them arrogant, it just makes them less self-conscious than you are about your many good reasons for being as humble as you are.
Don't use your mediocrity to demand humility of others, mccullough. It only shines a spotlight on your own below-averageness.
And nelson rockefeller father sold patent medicine, fdrs grandfather sold opium to china along with the forbes clan
Ritmo,
Who did you blame for your misery before Trump and W?
Dad or Mom?
(and skip the indulgent, freakin' line spacing)
Ritmo,
Keep your comments shorter. Long comments are a sign of mental illness.
If everyone were as humble as mccullough it would make him feel less self-conscious about his below-averageness.
Which is certainly a very good reason to be humble am i right?
Oh, and don't accomplish anything and don't say anything intelligent, either. Those things make mccullough really angry. You know, because he is humble and totally not envious at all, or something.
I do hope Sanders is the dem nominee. He has had great photo opps with totalitarians- che castro, soviet leaders. The left might not be able to suppress the truth about communism and socialism. A new generation just might be introduced to what those old, sad, discredited ideologies have to offer. The education system certainly hasn't even made an attempt to do so.
Sanders has spent decades in Congress and as a politician. and has nothing of note to show for it. He is good at yelling at people, and at enriching himself. But not so good at actually accomplishing anything.
...comments shorter.
For really short comments you could stop reading altogether and bark at the moon with your dog.
He probably writes at about your reading level, too.
Its not accidental the educational templates since the 80s were of soviet design.
Neither party cares about science. Neither party cares about truth. That’s obvious.
It takes a really special love of untruth to buy into the Replunderican party myth that the earth is 60 degrees warmer than space... just because!
We will never know the reason!
Leave the atmosphere out of it!
Lol.
Oh yeah, and tax cuts apparently don't pay for themselves, either.
And keeping Amazon untaxed doesn't improve the American economy.
Oh my,
The debate concludes w/o Hoax Pee Pee weighing in.
So sad..
Hi walter.
How many federal prosecutors have signed their names to that letter about how shitty an AG William Barr is?
As many as your sad attempts to deflect?
Good morning! Agur!
As I said yesterday, Bloomberg should make an attempt to run without "debating", or making public appearances. I don't think its impossible.
Having a US AG with such poor integrity that thousands of lawyers from his own profession call him out on how wrong he is and in need of resignation, that's not a deflection.
It's accepting the reality of how horribly corrupt his administration is.
Omidyars little scribble pad, were suppose ti take that seriously.
You see how bloombergs first instinct to pander worked not very well.
Lawyers writ large are almost god-like, right?
If tethered to the public sector, somewhat less so....
They were former federal prosecutors themselves. All 2,000+ of them.
They don't believe presidents should be above the law. They're not monarchists - which is a naturally American inclination.
But you're a monarchist who believes presidents should be above the law, right?
Long comments could also mean you are retired and don't have to be anywhere in particular. We are however going to be off to San Sebastian/Donostia, and on to St. Jean de Luz and Biarritz/Bayonne. Its not the season of course, but I suspect that has a charm of its own, besides cheap hotels. And who knows where after that?
So, au revoir.
Yes, yes..extra-legal all the way.
You got me!
Now how many legaal scholars pissed away $$ over Russia Hoax?
Oh..not a concern..
But you see, here on Althouse there is at least one monarchist.
¡Viva el rey!

Well for those of us who don't live in tech support land, midnight is not a typical time to work, my subcontinental friend.
I just finished watching the rest of the debate, I would tell you how the rest of it appeared to me, but I just signed an NDA with a candidate who will remain unidentified per the agreement. The next time I comment, I will be doing so from my mega-yacht, bitches!

Crazy Bernie will have the honor of doing a Mondale this time.
More like a Corbyn.
Mondale wasn't this crazy.
Subcontinent?
We are in Eurasia indeed, but quite a way off from India.
We are in the last kingdom of the Bourbon dynasty, who by right, as granted by the Pope to their predecessors of the house of Trastamara, are your rightful rulers.

Ritmo is 1/1024th smart.
Now to the serious business:
Sanders and Warren had the best night- Sanders mostly because Bloomberg imploded the first hour, and as the frontrunner, he is now set to win in Nevada and South Carolina, and will be well positioned to win most of the popular votes on Super Tuesday. Warren's performance was great, but mostly in the taking down of Bloomberg. It won't save her candidacy- she was finished after New Hampshire. Biden seemed alive and alert the first hour, but seemed to me to flag a bit in the second half. Buttuvwxyz and Klobuchar seemed to be trying to one up each other, but it didn't really help either one of them. On balance, I think Klobuchar got the better of Buttuvwxyz who just strikes me as a know-it-all who doesn't know it all.
Bloomberg- wow- completely unprepared for questions he should have expected to get from the moderators at the beginning, and the attacks from the other candidates. There is no excuse for not having something better than what he did have. He had the right instincts about the stop and frisk, but not the courage to defend the policy on the right grounds. Yes, I think the policy itself is a constitutional violation, but he should stood up a bit more for what was his policy decision rather than trying to pass the buck to other mayoralties. The NDA and tax stuff was just horrible.
I read a few of the comments above that Bloomberg did well be seeming calmer and saner than the other candidates. That doesn't matter in this particular case- this is a primary voting contest, not the general election. Turnout at primaries and caucuses, especially those after the first 4 are 20% turnout events- you have to appeal to the more radical side of the Democratic Party, that is especially true in such a fractured field. Bloomberg killed his candidacy, I think, by showing up at this debate. He should have kept with a strategy that at least had the appearance of working- get a good result on Super Tuesday- that would have at least given the other candidates pause in attacking in one of the later debates, but he didn't do that, and the field gutted him and wore his carcass during the aftershows that I am scanning right now.
I predict the betting odds for Bloomberg drop tomorrow and Sanders' rises.
I didn't watch the debate. How many scalps did Senator Tomahawk collect tonight?

Yay go President Trump! What a hideous mess that debate was.

Warren is a ferocious warrior, it’s in her blood...
Only 1/1024th.
Bwaaaaaaaa
The comments here are hilarious.
Well, I didn't watch the debate but have now read a number of analyses of it. Bloomberg flopped is the general theme. He came across as poorly prepared - for the attacks by the other candidates - and did a terrible job of explaining his public history, policy ideas, and so forth. This surprises me, I genuinely believed he would arrive prepared for anything that came his way. Wrong.
So it looks as if he is just the latest shiny new thing to trot himself out, rise in the polls, and then crash and burn.
Looking more and more like Bernie will be the guy. If the professional Democrats and elite let him.

What I have difficulty believing is that anyone watching that can take any one of those clowns seriously. Not one of them has anything at all practical to offer the country.
And then the usual suspects appear to remind us who their audience is.
I voted third party, but I’ll never do that again. Not many Democrats and liberals will be voting third party this time around, no matter who ends up being the nominee.
Was this written by Inga because she is a racist who is upset that blacks and Hispanics have good jobs now, thanks to Trump’s economic policies?
If a horse faced lesbian had a debate with a dog faced pony soldier
That would be great, I would stay up late.
I don't know who they are voting for over at the Peyote church but it ain't Elizabeth Warren.
This is the most fun election in my lifetime!

“I think what we non-Nazis care about is science.”
Warren mentioned the value of science tonight
NASA finally confirmed the Germans- we are in global cooling for the next 30 years.
Imagine, we’ve had two dozen Democratic presidential candidates, and the only group that hasn’t been represented is the horse-faced lesbians (though Beto O’Rourke came close.)
"mccullough said...
Bloomberg is sane. He’s testing whether there are enough sane democrats. His only chance to win. No sense pandering to idiots"
If he's testing to see whether there are enough sane democrats, he's not sane. He is an idiot.
Well...that was fun. Thanks for playing everyone. We'll see you all at the next family gathering.
If I were a lifelong Dem I'd feel like the earth under my feet just got unsettled.
Wow.
Lot's to talk about I guess.
Cursory review of the morning headlines tell me Mini Mike bombed, Lizzy went on the war path.
Lizzie is a warrior, says Inga
Lizzie Warren took her axe
And gave to Bloomberg forty hacks
She stopped and checked her Twitter score
And gave the others forty more.
(trad guy had the idea first)
When your enemies are at war with each other, one hopes for lots of casualties.
Though I didn't watch any of the debate, it appears that's exactly what transpired. Good. Very good.
But Bernie won and will keep on winning until his heart stops beating. God forbid. Then Warren will step into his shoes. - Inga
You really need another hobby.
The BernieBros cannot stand Warren. They've gone so far as to vandalize her campaign offices.
There is no way she steps in should Sanders fail. The vote is split.
