Mike Bloomberg just bombed his first DemDebate: He was rusty, he was testy and he was out of touch
He rolled his eyes when Elizabeth Warren pressed him to release women at his company from non-disclosure agreements related to alleged mistreatment.
He was rusty. He was testy. He was out of touch. And, for a candidate often shielded by the scripted one-liners of killer campaign advisers, he was on his own — unable to hide his peevish demeanor and unable to portray himself, as his campaign has tried to do, as the clear choice to stop Bernie Sanders and beat Donald Trump.
During Bloomberg’s debut on the Democratic debate stage, the former New York City mayor fielded attacks from every candidate over his past embrace of Republicans, ardent defense of capitalism and stop-and-frisk policing tactic. “I hope you heard what his defense was. ‘I’ve been nice to some women.’ That just doesn’t cut it,” Warren said in response. “The mayor has to stand on his record. And what we need to know is exactly what’s lurking out there.”
But that rosy review of Bloomberg's performance was in the minority. The former New York mayor seemed annoyed and exasperated at several points: He shrugged and snapped when justifying his personal fortune and defended his elite financial status, saying, “I worked very hard for it.” The feeble approach allowed Biden to take a swing. “It's not whether he apologized or not. The policy was abhorrent. And it was a fact of violation of every right people have,” he said.
