Klobuchar is reaching HRC levels of wit.

Bloomberg got roasted by Warren on the non-disclosure agreements at his company. The look on his face when she brought it up was priceless and his answer was pathetic. There is certainly something nasty hiding in the closest.

It appears to me that Warren has no real plan here other than to attack. Everyone on the stage to her left is probably happy for her to be the bulldog against Bloomberg.

And Bloomberg apparently has no plan at all. He’s probably wondering what else he should have spent his millions in ad buys on.

What do you think the U.S. should be doing that they currently are not? Since 2005 I think it is the U.S. has reduced emissions more than any other country all the way to current.

Klobuchar’s fake outrage is ridiculous. As the race goes on, her mean-girl reputation is becoming more apparent. God help us if she is the nominee.

I’m becoming more convinced it is going to ultimately be a Sanders v. Buttigieg race.

This debate is a ####show. It's getting stupider and stupider the longer this campaign goes on. All the salient points have been made, nothing left to do but bicker about personality flaws.

Also, Bloomberg not having a good night. Yikes.

The ridiculously long American election cycle, almost never ending, only adds to the silliness.As soon as this two year campaign process is over they'll be right into the mid-term elections.

Also, can Warren just go away now? I was somewhat behind her at one point in the past, but now she just annoys the crap out of me with her sanctimonious way of speaking. Just insufferable.

Wait, did Warren just say we should roll back the philibuster? That seems so anti-democratic to me. May as well just add 3 or 4 more justices to the supreme court, just 'cuz.

She is essentially the Elizabeth May of the USA. I think she might not make it to Super Tuesday. I expect her to be way down in votes in both Nevada and SC.

Fact: China has produced more solar panels than all other nations combined.

"China is the reason for global warming"

Nice red herring.

Warren just spent 1.7 trillion over the last few minutes of policy discussion. Frightening.

Well the production of solar panels isn’t exactly clean, and they don’t exactly have regulations to limit that.

All I'm saying is that China is technically doing more to move toward clean energy than any other major economy, so demonizing them isn't really helpful. Bloomberg understood that China is making progress and the real target is India. This is true.

More to make money off clean energy than any other economy, sure.

Jesus, Warren is desperate. Trying to paint everyone on the stage in the worst possible light. So disappointed in her.

I mean if that's your definition, cool. I'd also argue polluting your rivers to the point you cant eat fish out of them, releasing more SF6 than the rest of the world combined and regularly having smog warnings probably dismiss that claim though.

That's a footnote on Bernie's plan.

This is why they are trying to shift their energy usage, but their energy needs are so big that they can't shift it all overnight.

The government is trying to meet the needs of its population and also trying to stay profitable. Tell me, what other major economy is acting entirely altruistically on this issue at the moment?

I'm a pragmatist. I know that it's not going to happen overnight, nor is it going to be pretty along the way, but anyone trying to consciously make that shift is okay with me.

Last I checked, Albertans wanted a big oil pipeline to stimulate their economy. What's the plan to move to renewables there?
