8:29 PM: Steyer says the choice between Sanders and Bloomberg is one between a Democratic Socialist and someone who has long been a Republican. Steyer says he is scared that if Democrats go to one of those extremes, they risk re-electing Donald Trump.

8:28 PM: Sanders cites various studies claiming Medicare for All will save money.

8:25 PM: O’Donnell asks Sanders about the cost of his various programs. She wants to know if he can do “the math for the rest of us” since he can only explain how he can pay for just half…

After Sanders flails and throws out various taxes to fund some of his programs, Klobuchar says his plans do not add up at all. Klobuchar says Sanders is making a “bunch of broken promises that sound good on a bumper sticker.”

Chaos erupts after candidates all want to talk about “math.”

Yeah, Liz, you just tell every other woman in America to "kill it" for him.

Certa Bonum Certamen
8:31 PM: Biden, invoking the late Sen. Fritz Hollings, hits Steyer for buying a private prison system after he knew they hogtied prisoners. Biden trying to get back some of the black vote Steyer is taking from him. He also says Bernie has not accomplished anything.

Steyer says he has since fought to end private prisons and started banks to help people of color because the current financial system is prejudiced. Steyer hits Biden for writing the infamous Crime Bill.

Klobuchar says black voters have been lied to too often and says there cannot be more broken promises to “this people.”

Bloomberg reminds the crowd that he spent $100 million to get new Democrats elected. It seems like he almost slipped and almost said he “bought that.”

8:30 PM: Buttigieg trying to do the math. He says Sanders’ plan adds up to four more years of Trump and Kevin McCarthy being Speaker of the House. Buttigieg says Sanders will cause Democrats to lose Congress. Buttigieg says Democrats who helped the party take back the House are running away from Sanders’ plans as fast as they can.

Everybody's got the knives out for Comrade Bernie tonight. The veins on Bernie's head are popping out already!

Mr. Burns is trying hard to be heard. But they're all after him too.

8:35 PM: Sanders says he has beaten Trump in 47 of the last 50 polls. Sanders says he beats Trump in swing states like Michigan and the way to beat Trump is with a movement.

Bloomberg says “polls aren’t the election.” He wonders if anyone can imagine moderate Republicans will vote for Sanders.

Warren says the progressive agenda is popular and hits back at Bloomberg for saying Democrats need to seek out “moderate Republicans.”

One thing is for sure... They'll tax the hell out of us workers to give the free stuff away they brag about. Your health care if you have a decent one through work or otherwise .... Will be socialist government run. Good luck living a long life. They'll determine your longevity and what care you qualify for based on age and lifestyle.

They're all communist. They want to destroy and want us gone.

Thanks, Thompson. It's nice to go back and see what we missed or to refer to what was said. Appreciate the work you do.

Now, who will land the first punch tonight? :D

I thought they would all come out in drag, with Buttplug coming out dressed like a man (rather than Alfred E Newman which is his every debate dress).

And they all come out singing We are the world................

Annnd they're back.


Listening to Buttedgeedge, it is clear he has been watching far to many videos of Obama. Not only is he copying his words and mannerisms, he’s even starting to sound like him. Of all of them, he is by far the scariest – inside Pete is a ruthless totalitarian does dying to get out.

Earlier Steyer was swinging his arm around and inching closer to Amy that it looked like he was going to hit her. She ended up pointing him back to his podium. Ah, good entertainment.
