Ninth Democratic Debate: February 19 in Las Vegas, NV (9 pm ET on NBC/MSNBC)

[Florida Man for Crime]

The other thing about Bloomberg collapsing so badly is now none of the other candidates have any incentive to drop out.

Until after Super Tuesday???

Until at least then. They all are going to think that Bloomberg can be beaten/may collapse and will hope that they can emerge as the moderate alternative to Bernie. They all have an incentive now to stay in for as long as they can. And that means they will keep splitting the vote for a while (and many of them not being viable in certain CDs/states) - on Super Tuesday and probably somewhat afterwards as well.

Warren has no chance & will drop out after Nevada but se is attacking Bernie to weaken him as she wants to be Biden's VP as the progresisve woman in the ticket. It is really sad what she is doing. But anyways who cares since she is irrelevant.

Pete was much more vicious than her & downright a nasty slimball. This debate is unwatchable & won't change anything except hurt Bloomberg because it is a vicious hateful ugly attack filled debate.

Please stop.

Mike is winning.  Regular people love this.  Like me.

My 63-year-old chardonnay-loving mother who believes in beating Trump at all costs is watching this with me and thinks Bloomberg seems mentally incompetent.

I don't think shes normal...

I'm drinking a cab.  And I just texted my dad.  He agrees.

I'm drinking cab too, and honestly (I swear on Trump's re-election), I ALMOST feel bad what awful shape the Democrats are in.

This debates shows that the earliest they will be back in the White House is 2025. Maybe.

Sure, if Trump ignores the results and declares martial law...  I wouldn't be surprised if you support that though.  Shame!

Snark isn’t going to save you. This is a train wreck.

And if it wasn’t as heated you guys would be saying it’s good for Trump because it shows how boring they are. It’s always heads I win tails you lose with you guys

They have nothing, so they say that every little thing will help their impeached dementia hero.

[Florian Geyer]

It's funny that everyone dogpiled on Bloomberg

Your rhetoric is becoming extremely toxic, I suggest you calm down.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Pete is on fire.

LOL at y'all thinking this debate is going to negatively impact Bloomberg. The millions he is spending on tv, print, and radio will steamroll right over this.

[Grassroots]

I don't like Warren interrupting everyone but every time she speaks it hurts Sanders so i'm fine with it.

[Storr]

This small business discussion is boring and incredibly cliché.

Bloomberg is really making inroads with #nevertrumpers

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Who else thinks both Pete and Warren suck?

It’s going to hurt not because of people actually watching the debate, but because there are several really damaging soundbites against him that will be among the lead stories in the news the next couple days.

Well, of course.  Republicans love billionaires.

[Green Line]

What a great answer from Mayor Bloomberg.  Thank you for being a job creator.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Bernie kindly reminding everyone that BLOOMBERG DONATED TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

[Green Line]

Bernie kindly reminding everyone that BLOOMBERG DONATED TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

Its so rude.  Everyone loves President Bush now.  Why isn't anyone reminding them?

[SN2903]

Bloomberg is finally getting annoyed.

[Storr]

How far we've come. We went from "I wrote the damn bill!" to "You wrote the tax code!"

[libertpaulian]

This has been Warren's best debate by far.

But...if last year's GOP debates and the November debate are any indication...your best debate usually precedes dropping out.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Bloomberg "blaming" Bernie for writing a tax code that benefits people like him (Bloomberg)...ayy

[Reaganfan]

They're wrong about the tax code. If anything, America's tax code is rigged against those who make money. The second you make a decent amount of money, what happens? The government takes a big bite of it.

[OBD]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but go off, Bernie! Loving these attacks on Bloomberg.

[Gracile]

Reminds me a lot of Chris Christie.
