The knives came out during the sixth Democratic primary debate on Thursday night — this one held in Los Angeles — as Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, came under fire from the very candidate from whom he’s stealing votes in Iowa, Sen. Elizabeth Sanders (D-Mass.).
The subject was fundraisers.
Warren hit him with a cliché binge over his alleged “closed-door,” “wine-cave” fundraisers filled with “rich people in smoke-filled rooms.”
Buttigieg struck back with a vengeance.
He tossed off that he was the only candidate on the stage who was “not a millionaire or billionaire” — including Warren in that group. And he castigated Warren for “purity tests we can’t pass” after he revealed that up until very recently, she was raising money from the very people she said he’s now taking campaign donations from.
Buttigieg clearly won the exchange — and left Warren sucking air in yet another futile effort at portraying herself as an “everyday working American,” not as an extremist, left-wing Ivy League law professor who got her job through race hustling. (Remember her awkward beer-drinking episode on video?)

Sen. Amy Klobuchar wasn't having any of Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren's heated exchange.
She jumped into their back-and-forth about campaign finance and said, "I did not come here to listen to this argument." #DemDebate https://t.co/RiwLfWltil pic.twitter.com/SCYZRjZGrN

When they took a moment’s breath, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) tried to horn in with odd, alphabetically defined talking points.
Although the audience gave her some shout-outs, Klobuchar made her nervous-seeming comments in a grating pitch and annoying manner.
Warren, for her part, tried to re-engage and almost accused Buttigieg of corruption by saying she didn’t “sell access to my time” in response to his defense.
But it was too little, too late.
She was a spent force by then, arms wildly flailing under the klieg lights, physically showcasing her sad attempt to grasp at any little thing to get her out of the argument.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), from whom Buttigieg is also taking support in Iowa, tried to get a shot in at Buttigieg.
But he chimed in after the debate on the point was over, essentially.
These exchanges took up just several minutes in the larger debate, but they were indicative of the tension between Warren and Buttigieg. And it won’t be the last testy exchange in the primary season between them, as she tries to claw back voters who have switched to the young mayor in Iowa and elsewhere.

Sen. Elizabeth Sanders (D-Mass.). Last line in 1st paragraph.
This is what I was commenting on, not that she got attacked in the debate. She and Bernie get secretly married?
My estimation of Peter Bootygig just went up a notch.
You were not the first to comment and her clawing back potential voters who switched over to Pete doesn’t sound funny to me ! More like pathetic !
Warren got a smackdown. She’s going nowhere fast. Arrogant pos.

My guess is that there is blood in the water and that is why you all missed that I was the first one to post and you missed reading the article. Read the last sentence of the first paragraph. Come on people pay attention to what you are reading. This one was funny

I didn’t get past the end of the first paragraph. “Sen. Elizabeth Sanders (D-Mass.)”
Is that a typo or a Freudian slip? LOL

Warren started the fight but found out quickly that instead of being Sitting Bull she was Custer and Mayor Pete was the victorious Lakota. And he doesn’t even claim to be a Native American.

Not totally true,,,,,,,,there is Andrew Yang who does consistently say that throwing dirt at President Trump doesn’t get any thing done. I can not see him being either President or Vice President but after Trump’s re-election I could see him working with President Trump to get things done. He is at least looking at the problems and trying to come up with solutions, which is exactly what will doom him as far as the Democrats are concerned.
Actually there are 15 still trying to be nominated to be defeated by President Trump in 2020. Thirteen have dropped out and there are at least 12 still on the sidelines trying to make up their minds(?). To GoldTree What? There is no rule limiting how often someone can run either for the nomination or for the Office of the President. As for failed [again] wannabe president Hillary, her standard is that she doesn’t violate laws that she thinks pertain to her. In other words, “rules, we don’t need no stinking rules”.

How about a wooden Indian nickel?

Ah, piss on them all.
They all suck,as they are all part of the leftist move to destroy our country,and all we need is some gay mayor who can’t even take control of his own city.

I don’t support him but…. doggone…. that was GOOD!
I’m pointing out that both candidates were campaigning in September 2015 for the 2016 election. This is three months later for the 2020 election and there is no Democrat candidate yet. There are nine people trying to become the Democrat choice and the leaders are useless. If yesterday’s SNL performance (debate) was any indication we will be voting before they make their choice.
She can run anymore…She already did it twice and she can’t break those rules…
Because he is one himself..Only worst, he’s a Muslims…

Within a week of Warren being sworn in as senator from MA she was in California raising money from liberal elites. She has no room to diss anyone! She is a liar period!
There is blood in the water, they think, from the Trump Impeachment. Therefore, they can rip each other apart without damaging an election they assume any Democrat will win.
If they go after Trump it is just practice for each other and to prove to each other he means nothing to them.
My assumption is Democrats live in an alternative reality where Trump is actually wrong and all the good he has done was an after-effect of the “wonderful Obama Administration where there were no mistakes and no drama.”
So STILL ….
They are not there to do BETTER than Trump …
They are all running their campaigns “To beat Trump” …
No explaining policy of any kind … Same old Democrat fodder:
“We should do this, we need that, this should be better, that’s
a real crime, we cannot do this anymore, it’s terrible”, and on and on …
If any Republican ran like that, he or she would be a joke, and never win anything … Except maybe Romney, he got close … But with him, Obama just acted more charming … That’s it! And you can’t “dis” the bro … You will be labeled about 7 different names …
I never hear what they are going to do better?
And that’s because Democrats are “salespeople”, not people
who get stuff done in politics and government …
Has anyone watched Fox News,when they show the clips of the day?
And all of the media stations, and all of the Democratic candidates and government employees are using the same exact words, phrases or talking points? I’m telling you, it is the party of do-nothing people, and salespeople.
The part that cracks me up the most, is the Democrat voters actually believe them or buy what they are saying … Hard to believe …
I would know better than most, because I have been one for 40 years …

How dare you speak of the Teflon God!

She should have seen it coming. But I wouldn’t give a plug nickel for any of them. Any of them would be a walking disaster for the country.
Warren, Equa Gayegogi !!!!!
Try to stay on point. She took campaign funds from the same billionaires who held Pete’s fund raiser. Keep preferences out of it.
Anyone else remember Hillary beginning her campaign in September 2015 ? She announced running in April but started campaigning later. It’s now December and there are still 9 Democrats vying for the DNC candidate of the 2020 election. That certainly was not a debate yesterday it was another episode of SNL.

Looked into Pelosi’ son, John Kerry’s step son, Mitt Romney’s son and James Biden’s (Joe’s brother) no bid $ 1.5 billion US government contract to construct houses in Iraq. He knew nothing about construction before the contract.

Does he prefer heads or tails?
