In full disclosure, I watched more of the Ranger game than the Democrat Debate....but I believe it is a mistake to count Bloomberg out just yet.
My observation was that he allowed the vituperation to simply wash off him like water off a duck's back....as though he simply assumed he'd get the nomination.
And he has two huggggggeeee reasons to assume that:
1. immense wealth....he's spent $500 million, yet his wealth has increased by $100 million each day he's been in the race.
2. The Democrat Party will do ANYTHING to prevent a communist from being their champion.

"A contrary view: Mini Mike isn’t done despite debate debacle
Some multiple of the number of people who saw the debate will see his advertisements, and most important, Bloomberg isn’t on a ballot until Super Tuesday. Between now and then, one or more candidates will be damaged by low showings in Nevada and South Carolina.
The so-called ‘moderate’ segment of the electorate isn’t going to Bernie or Warren. This may have been the best night for Buttigieg, whose vapid bromides might sell with the non-socialist Democrat wing.
Bloomberg’s reason to be in this contest is to be the last non-Bernie non-Warren candidate standing.
Bernie doesn’t accept or understand that in capitalism the amount of wealth grows — Bloomberg didn’t take his wealth from someone else. Bernie is alien to our economic system, which is his appeal to a large segment of Democrats. The politics of envy sells well.
Get ready for the contest we need as a nation, Trump versus Bernie, capitalism versus socialism, economic freedom versus statist control.
Bernie v. Trump is the battle we need, just as Britain needed Corbyn v. Johnson. Nothing that happened last night changed the likelihood that this is how it ends up."
A contrary view: Mini Mike isn't done despite debate debacle
One indication of how fearful the Bolshevik.....er, Democrat Party is of their long association with communism is, is their claim to be "Blue States"
1. Remember when the 'red states' were Democrat, 'cause, well, Democrats/Liberals were so closely identified with communists, reds, socialists....
Then the control of the media really paid off for the Leftists....and now the obfuscation is complete.
2. Red is traditionally associated with
socialism and
communism. The oldest symbol of socialism (and, by extension, communism) is the
Red Flag, which dates back to the
revolutions of 1848. The colour red was chosen to represent the blood of the workers who died in the struggle against capitalism. All major socialist and communist alliances and organisations – including the
First,
Second, and
Third Internationals – used red as their official colour. The association between the colour red and communism is particularly strong. Communists use red much more often and more extensively than other ideologies use their respective traditional colours.
§ In Europe and Latin America, red is also associated with parties of
social democracy, and often their allies within the
labour movement. Sometimes these parties use pink instead, as a "moderate" colour instead of the more "radical" red.
§ In the United States, since the year 2000, the mass media have associated red with the
Republican Party, despite the fact that the Republican Party is a conservative-leaning party.

3. "The former system made more sense and
was deliberately changed by media partisans who didn’t like to suggest Democrats should be associated with the color red....What’s a little more surprising, however, is how easily Republicans fell in line, apparently without realizing the reason they went from blue to red overnight. There’s even a Republican-leaning opinion site called RedState.com. How shortsighted and gullible can you get?
That made even more sense because
Reagan’s convictions were decidedly and unabashedly anti-red.
I propose to you it’s time we –
real Americans, the rest of us – stopped being manipulated like this."

4. The Democrats should be Gray….reminiscent of the outfits they wore when they were the Confederacy, and we’re Blue….the color we wore when we pried their slaves away from them.
The Dems have got to 'deep-six' Bernie at any cost!!!
