The South Carolina Debate thread

Term limits are a horrible, horrible idea. Main reason why Steyer is a moron.

Did Mike try to make a joke?

Bloomberg is playing more to Super Tuesday states.

I'm still behind - Bloomie just mentioned the deficit - without naming the reason. i.e. the Repub tax cut.

He'd be such a disaster as Prez.

Liz is clearly the best person on that stage though. Not even close.

 Good at what?  Attacking?  I can't think of any policy she mentioned that truly stood out.   Maybe someone could refresh my memory.

I'm with Mike on this.

 How about  pretty much every policy that she has announced?

 I said memorable.    What is your favorite policy that she mentioned tonight that was unique to her?

these questions are so bad...

 some of the questions suggest that the president is a miracle worker or a magician. 

Liz overdid it with the Bloomberg attacks. Made her look obsessive by the end of the exchange. And he’s had good comebacks tonight unlike last time.

 This debate isn't very much about policy. That's kind of the problem.

Some of the answers are also magical.  

But hell, she just came out against charters and high stakes testing. That's a winner in my book.

 Getting rid of the filibuster, the intersection of race and housing, pointing out how Bloomberg funded some of the most awful Republican candidates especially against women. Those were all pretty good.

What kind of answer was that from Warren?  100% fluff.  Bloomberg also.

People need to have a plan.

 Answer to what?

@Smedley, yup, I thought she overdid it. Cheap shot accusing him of telling a woman to get an abortion. Its a he said she said, and came off as angry and personal.

 pulling the troops out.  Pete's wasn't much better either

 Haven't got that far yet...

Oh Liz enough with Bloomberg.

Would you let China build critical US infrastructure - Warren: Bloomberg needs to release his tax returns.

wow. that was a good question about rural health care providers.

 To be fair, this was a stupid question that didnt deserve an answer. Who in his/her right mind would say, "Yes?"

The crowd seems to be with Biden.

Pete is getting booed?

Bernie is going to have another heart attack.  He's out of control.

Biden giving Bernie a run for his money in being the crankiest old guy on the stage tonight.

Biden is going after Trump - Amy and Pete are attacking Bernie and Warren is taking on Bloomberg.

Seems like a wash in the end.

Warren is going for the Bloomberg attack soundbites that gave her the post debate airtime the last round.  I don't think she's hit a line at the level of "horse faced lesbian".
