Bloomberg in debate: Billions of dollars and zero vision

Michael Bloomberg had a lot of bad moments in his first debate as a Democratic candidate for president. He had little to say when Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren slammed him for having called some women, at various times in the past, "fat broads" and "horse-faced lesbians." He seemed conflicted about stop and frisk. He was weak when confronted with his practice of making some women who worked for him sign nondisclosure agreements.

But even with all that, Bloomberg saved the worst for last. It came after the fighting ended, and NBC moderators asked for closing statements.

If there were a time for Bloomberg to offer a vision for the country, to emphasize the principles that guide him as a candidate, to bond with voters over a shared hope for the future, this was it. Instead, Bloomberg offered a view of the presidency straight from a business textbook.

"Look, this is a management job," he said, "and Donald Trump is not a manager."

The funniest part was the Bloomberg political ad in the middle of the debate.

There’s Mike with his rented dog and kid, his rented Bob Villa work clothes, looking normal—like he might have an actual personality. The announcer’s commanding voice reassures us, “Mike’ll get it done.”

Then back to the debate, where Bloomberg is standing there wilting under attack by the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden! You could see Mike’s face twitching, his voice stuttering, practically wetting himself.

Then there were the NDAs. Funny, but for the democrat Bloomberg, they’re NDAs; but back when it was Trump and Stormy Daniel, it was “hush money”.

Regardless of the slick Madison Avenue commercials Mikey’s an out of touch, unapproachable elitist.
