Democratic Debate Was The Greatest Debate In Human History

Forget Lincoln and Douglas. Forget Nixon and Kennedy. Hell, forget the Athenians and the Melians back during the Peloponnesian War. Last night’s Democratic primary slagfest in Nevada was the greatest debate in all of human history.

Oh, was it glorious — the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids face the desperate possibility each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions.

It’s not that the gloves were off. No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren’t snowflakes. They were nunchucks.

Some priceless highlights:

Bloomberg saying he was too rich to release his returns because he can’t do Turbo Tax like all of you losers.

Sanders fuming that Bloomberg would dare mention he has a summer house.

Warren signature moment came at the very beginning, when she went right for the jugular.

“I’d like to talk about who we’re running against — a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians,” Warren said. “No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.”

So how was Bloomberg? At the midpoint, it seemed like he had just spent the past three months lighting half a billion dollars on fire, given just how disastrously he had performed.

Everybody took a turn beating him up, and his responses were painfully clueless

In two hours, Mini-Mike wiped out half his potential voters. What he reminded me of....was Jeb Bush.

[Bloomberg saying he was too rich to release his returns because he can’t do Turbo Tax like all of you losers.]


In a GOP debate, Bloomberg would have been able to depict his opponents as leeches on the taxpayer’s teat. But in a Democratic debate, where a huge chunk of the voters are government employees, that would have been gauche. I am surprised he missed the opportunity to comment on the fact that his opponents’ praise of Denmark combined with criticism of Trump’s new 21% Federal corporate tax rate neglected to mention that Denmark’s top corporate tax rate is 22%, and that Denmark doesn’t tax a Danish company’s foreign profits. There’s also the fact that US companies face state and local corporate taxes that Danish companies don’t.

As I predicted, Bloomberg was the pinata. The tone of the debate was more or less - why are we debating this Republican; isn’t this the Democratic primary?

Eyeball scratching on monkey island. What a cringe worthy vein bulging mockery of human discourse. I half expected to see someone’s dentures clack loose. I’m going to bed snickering. Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

I don’t know how the next Democrat debate could top this one. Oh, wait. Here’s an idea: Give the candidates a supply of cream pies to throw at each other. Just like the Three Stooges did.

What will it take for these liberal billionaires to figure that in their totalitarian mindset, satan is not divided, the communist surveillance, nagging and blood thirstiness rules to ultimately rob and skewer the like of him. What an idiot.

Fat horse faced lesbians think Bloomberg is a lying dog faced phony poser. The democrats are proving once again how inclusive and sensitive to others they are. It's a wonderful spectacle.

And Denmark and Sweden have no minimum wage law, no wealth tax and no inheritance tax. And both have school vouchers systems!

Imagine going your entire life harassing women at the workplace, then getting gang-raped at the Democrat debate.

The Democrat nominee isn’t coming from that mess on stage last night. Someone will be chosen at a brokered convention.

I actually got a tingle up my leg when Bloomberg raised his short little arm wanting to be called on by the mods...

....thinking: “omg, he hasnt screwed himself enough, he wants to do it again?”
