Tonight's debate could turn on how effectively Bloomberg can respond to allegations about his past when he is confronted with them in person, without a script and before a television audience of millions
Businessman and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg joins other Democratic presidential candidates on the debate stage for the first time Wednesday night. The other candidates debating in Las Vegas are former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sens. Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The debate will be televised by MSNBC and begins at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
. “Whether it is his history with ‘stop-and-frisk’ policies or the litany of sexual harassment allegations against his company, it is somewhat shocking he still polls as strong as he does in the face of all of it.” Begala said the former mayor will need “to push past all the attacks” while at the same time “not get bogged down in the past.”
“You can just take the description and Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops,” he said at the time, boasting of the success stop and frisk had in reducing homicides by getting guns off the street. Another clarification from the campaign came after the release of a 2008 video of a Bloomberg lecture at Georgetown University in which the billionaire suggested the financial crisis had been precipitated by government pressure on banks to stop the practice of “redlining” — discriminating against borrowers in poor, typically minority, neighborhoods.
Bloomberg’s campaign countered that he fought redlining while mayor and his presidential platform focuses on boosting minority homeownership.
