Bloom had some good moments and a few really bad ones but considering it was his first real debate with the clown show, he could have done worse. He was mostly himself, but not as sincere or as relatable to the Dem mass crazies as Uncle BernieCommie. Warren came out flailing--helped Sanders more than she helped herself. She's just reeking of desperation and I believe she'll be gone soon, but strange things happen on the left so you never know. Petey had some good moments, but got bogged down many times and faded at the end of many of his moments. Got into a weird hand-slapping girl fight with Klob that didn't make either look too good. Klob not as strong as last debate. She's the one I would fear most of this group if I were trump because he seems to have an answer for all of the rest, but I think she'd be hardest for his strategy/style to overcome. Bern solidified himself some tonight, and remained the biggest threat to win the nod for the left. Ending question showed that a brokered convention with a surprise winner is more likely than ever. Sad to see Dems not believe in Democracy, but they haven't for many, many decades now, only difference is they are willing to say it in public openly now.

If Bloom can take this as a lesson and improve next time, he has a great shot to steal it. Otherwise, it'll be a war and riot in Milwaukee, sponsored by Pabst and tear-gas. Ski-mask vendors should sell out their wares, so good for the wool industry.

Warren played like Tulsi and skewered Bloomgren on the NDA issue.

Biggest pregnant pause was the open question Bloomgren threw the field: who here has started a business.

Overall I found the thing what I have some to expect from these Democratic debates --- kind of an anarchic frenzy of how much they hate profiteering, bilionaires, wealth, the health industry (double bad profiteers), pharma (triple bad profiteers), and the petroleum industry.

Oblunder would say he didn't build that; Bernie actually said the workers did more than he did. As a group, yes, they put in more man-hours (is it still PC to say that--thought police? -just askin') but without the leadership and the will to take the risk and potentially lose it all without a guarantee of success you don't have an environment for the workers to work in to begin with. IOW when you don't work for a paycheck, everything is up to you, and you could spend all day every day working very hard and not make a cent. But when you have a guarantee, a payroll check, you eliminate that risk, by and large (unless company goes under) so that is the trade-off and the price you pay to avoid risk and uncertainty. I don't like Bloom, but businessmen deserve everything they can get, as that is the reward for risk. Otherwise you don't get risk and innovation because you remove/tax the incentive and there's just no motivation to risk. Leftists and workers and antifa idiots just don't get it, but take a worker and give him the opportunity to make his own hiring and business decisions--and make him pay the consequences if he's wrong or unlucky, then you turn him into a conservative lickety-split, because #commonsense.
