Didn't see a thread for the debate tomorrow yet. (9pm on MSNBC)

I'm expecting it to be a circular firing squad against Bloomberg to try and take him down.

Sanders and Warren will attack him because they hate billionaires and Bloomberg is the personification of everything they think is wrong with American politics.

Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar will attack him because they are all competing in the same moderate lane and he is stealing their votes.

Bloomberg is as boring as a rock. It will be interesting to see if he can really buy so much advertising that he can win the Democratic nomination. Me and My Big Gulp shiver in fearful anticipation.

Bloomberg is the guy in NYC who tried to regulate salt, sizes of sugary beveages, trans fat, etc. We need politicians who defend our freedoms, not take them away because they disagree with lifestyle choices.

Obesity is a huge problem in America and most Americans don't even understand how the contents and portion sizes of their beverage choices contribute to it.

Whether we need to ban things like large size drinks is questionable but government does have a role at least in educating people about this I think.

The opioid epidemic was bad but America is in the midst of a sugar epidemic that is killing far more people.

He should continue to belittle and bemoan American workers. I hope the rest of the dems jump on board, I know they can't turn down an opportunity to trash Americans

Will he stand on a soapbox to see over the podium?

Why would he need to?

Hint: The maniac lied about his height.

I suggest people protest his appearance by watching with a big bucket of salty buttered popcorn and a thirsty 32oz soft drink of their choice.
