I feel like Bloomberg is here so Warren has an easy target.

I wonder why Warren is going after Bloomberg, on a strategic level. It seems like she'd need to peel support off Bernie to have a real chance, but maybe she's figuring that her only real shot at a viral moment is tearing into the fresh meat.

She's trying to win the debate and consolidate her position as a progressive.

Warren is totally playing a "nice" Democrat here.

Klob gonna klob someone.

Warren gave Klob a lifeline because she's trying to be the kind Democrat, it's pretty obvious.

Can't watch live but which of these are accurate:

1A) Bloomy bombing so hard even MSM spin can't prop him up;

1B) Bloomy terrible but did enough doubletalk to give MSM some leeway like Butts/Klobs in past debates;


2A) It's mostly Warren vs Bloom & Klob vs Butt with Biden and Bernie staying relatively quiet unless directly questioned (or Bloom does something real dumb);

2B) It's everyone vs Bloom and then everyone vs Bernie and the see-saw continues throughout the night

1A and neither, Bernie isn't actively getting chased after but he does eat more potshots than other candidates.

So Warren realized her best shot is going back into Bernie's lane to try and recover.
Hope she doesn't rob him of his momentum.

Warren is 100% pivoting back to Bernie talk-points while painting herself as nice and reasonable, unlike the mean old man.

Also the debate is clearly giving Bloomy time so that Warren and Biden can get dunks in.

See, the moderators are just setting Warren up on the expense of Bloomberg, then giving someone else time so they can go "well sorry senator sanders but we're outta time see you in nitro"

It actually isn't, the narrative is clearly a horseshoe theory thing there so Warren can do what she's doing now.

Warren could get Bernie votes but I feel she played to undecideds instead so yeah, Bernie holding steady. She also played home court.

Bernie needs to practice a better comeback to when the right calls him rich. Yeah, Bernie is richer than probably all of us, but his net worth is about a quarter percent of a billionaire, never mind a multi-billionaire. For every hundred bucks a billionaire has, Bernie has 25 cents.

You have THREE HOUSES! Man, shut the gently caress up.

I kinda agree. He needs to hit back with the "socialism isn't a vote of poverty, I acknowledge my privilege but it's not incompatible with wanting a better world".

I don't see Bernie saying "I acknowledge my privilege." Its not the way he talks. Honestly, I think his answer was fine.

Oh, that's not supposed to be a literal line, just the spirit of it. His answer was fine but that's something I feel socialists should actively challenge whenever they can, anti-communists love to playthe "but how can you be a socialist if you own stuff, HUH?" card and it's so absurdly stupid that it deserves mockery.
