What Will (Didn't) Watch

We don't watch debates. Why? But the Spectator's Amber Athey did:

Bloomberg took a gamble by appearing at Wednesday’s debate — presumably he assumed he had the political experience to put up a good performance. Instead, he was hammered repeatedly over alleged sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace, his ‘stop and frisk’ policies in New York City, his status as a billionaire, and his previous Republican membership. The mayor appeared defensive and unprepared to answer to any of these attacks — the type of thing that can sink a candidacy, if Sen Kamala Harris’s campaign post-Tulsi Gabbard whacking her for her prosecutorial history is any indicator.

The titan of business, media and New York City has been surrounded by yes-men for 40 years and it showed. Money can buy you a massive campagin infrastrucutre but it can't buy you people willing to let you have it in the debate prep (What, and risk that plum $5,000 a month gig?). We remain confident in our autumn prediction that the mayor will not be the Democrat nominee.
