(Chicks on the Right) – HOLY CRAP. Did y’all watch? IT WAS EPIC.
We sorta knew going in it was going to be off the rails, but I had no idea it would be THIS off the rails, and the fire started almost immediately, with Elizabeth Warren TEARING into Bloomberg.
Now, to the sh*tshow.
Check out this moment right at the beginning.
WARREN: "I’d like to talk about who we’re running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse faced lesbians, and no I’m not talking about Donald Trump, I’m talking about mayor Bloomberg."#DemDebate pic.twitter.com/8ic2t7LOqS

That clip was a pretty perfect representation of Liz’s entire night. She attacked pretty much everybody, and she was ON FIRE. If I had to choose a winner of the night (other than Trump who won last night in an epic landslide), I’d choose Liz just because she was on offense, on her game, unshakeable, and in every conversation. She was annoying AF, obviously, but as far as performance goes, she was all over this night.
Bloomberg was on defense all night, if you can call it that, since he was mostly a quiet evil tortoise, but here’s the moment that he completely threw in the towel and was toast.

Yiiiiiiiiiikes. He needs to fire his entire debate prep team, if in fact he has one, because DAYUM. How he wasn’t prepared for this question, I have no idea.
His best moment? These two:

He also had a moment when he asked if anyone else on stage had started a business, and there was this hilarious pregnant pause since he’s the only one who has.
Bernie didn’t handle that three home question well at ALL, and it was good for Bloomer to get his dig in on it, since NO ONE ELSE FREAKING WILL. I mean, the moderators were absolutely useless, especially when this happened:
Moderator: "Mayor Bloomberg, should you, a billionaire exist? […] Should you have earned that much money?"
Bloomberg: "Yes, I worked very hard for it and I'm giving it away."
Amazing how this is even controversial. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/o2BsHBdnpQ

“Should you exist.” That was an Actual Question. And then the rest of the time? It was like this:

For some reason I can’t explain, Pete and Amy were at each other’s throats much of the night, even though neither of them has a snowball’s chance in hell at winning this thing:
“Are you trying to say that I’m dumb? Or are you mocking me here, Pete?” Watch Amy Klobuchar and Pete Klobuchar go toe-to-toe on tonight’s Democratic debate stage. https://t.co/G5euYQHPJQ pic.twitter.com/ghknlQOli7
