WASHINGTON - Most of the fire at the Democratic presidential debate in Nevada on Wednesday was aimed at the newcomer on the stage, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg was forced to defend, among other things, his massive wealth, New York’s “stop-and-frisk” policing program and the treatment of women at his media company. He was even booed at one point by the Democrat-friendly crowd in Las Vegas. At times he seemed distant and disinterested, speaking in bland technocratic assertions.
Bloomberg charged that the senator from Vermont is unelectable, while Buttigieg forced him on the defensive about a Nevada culinary union that has criticized his healthcare plan. Sanders also had to address the abusive conduct by some of his online supporters, a faction he described as tiny and inconsequential.
Buttigieg largely held his own in an intense back-and-forth with Sanders. But squabbles with Klobuchar threatened to diminish both of their candidacies.
