In re the Vegas Debate: These internecine feuds might easily have proved fatal to the cause. Warren, Sanders and Biden were the most divisive, follow closely by Buttigieg; only Kobuchar & Bloomberg kept their composure.
Biden and Warren proved to be desperate, Warren rudely kept interrupting Bloomberg's effort to speak, and she was followed closely Sanders & Biden. These three were losers in my opinion.
In my judgment only Bloomberg, Klobuchar, were the winners, but Bloomberg seemed to me to have his eye on the ball for the cause, to prevent trump and his megalomania from being in office four more years.
That made me chuckle. Honestly.
Warren singlehandedly gutted Bloomberg (who arrived unprepared in supreme arrogance), and she demonstrated her fighting instincts. Good on her. I wish she'd shown more of same earlier.
Buttigieg was smarmy, Klobuchar (learn how to spell her name, damnit!) was petulant in return, in a rather transparent feud to win over Hispanics. Biden had one of his better nights. At least he seemed awake.
All told, Sanders sailed relatively smoothly and escaped unscathed, Biden probably couldn't save his campaign, neither could Klobuchar and Buttigieg. Bloomberg's Potemkin's village of a campaign should, if not collapse, at least experience a significant dent.
This is politics, Rye. They all left the stage with their hair and all their eyes intact. If you want eternal peace and harmony... find a knitting group, or something...
