13:09Now PlayingElizabeth Warren did not come to play during the Las Vegas debate, and during the first few minutes of the debate she absolutely savaged former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. This was certainly a different Warren than what we’ve been used to, but she absolutely handed Bloomberg his own behind last night. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins runs down the debate and why it went exactly as it should have for Bloomberg.

Last night on the debate stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, American citizens who aren't from New York really got their first taste of who Michael Bloomberg really is. It wasn't in one of his well polished ads that he's paying millions to run all over the country. This was the unfiltered Michael Bloomberg who didn't have a script to run off of just himself in front of everyone, and it went exactly as we should have hoped it went, which is Mike Bloomberg failed miserably and give credit where it's due. Right? One of the biggest reasons Michael Bloomberg failed so hard on that debate stage is because of Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren last night had her absolute best debate performance ever. She didn't come to play. Elizabeth Warren came to that debate stage to draw blood, to draw blood from as many people on that stage as humanly possible and she did. I mean, she opened up the night by saying this.
She said, 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. So right off the bat, Elizabeth Warren had the knives out ready to shiv, Michael Bloomberg right next to her and she did and it hurt. He struggled to come up with anything to say about that. He looked confused, disheveled and unprepared all night long. And here's the thing, he was also grilled about his stop and frisk comments. He's had over a week to come up with a good response for it because he knew it was coming up last night and he didn't even have it. In fact, he tacitly defended the program saying that, oh, I mean I inherited it but it did reduce crime and, you know, crime went down and I'm so sorry for it but it seems to have kind of worked a little bit. If that's the best you got, you're screwed man.
You are absolutely in deep trouble. Now, he was also asked partly by Elizabeth Warren again, about all his comments about women too, because after all the racist stuff came out, then the misogynistic stuff came out in the past week and, you know, all the NDAs that he is forcing women to sign. And asked if he would release those women from the NDAs. He wouldn't commit and he said, well, I mean I guess it's up to the women. Asked about his horrible comments and all the accusations of harassment and assault against him. Michael Bloomberg offered several different options for answers, including that's just how I, you know, grew up. That's just the way things used to be. Some of it is just women who just didn't like my jokes.
