>>I vote for Donald Trump. I give the special mention for the sharpest tongue to E. Warren. Bloomberg gets the "Was he here" award.

Bernie gets the award for Mr Angry - after Buttigieg had a crack at him. Bernie's response in favor of "the working stiff" makes a lot of sense and he's right, US blue collar has had a terrible deal for decades. Bernie's problem is that he was in politics for most of that time, yet waits for Trump's improved-across-the-board results for blue collar before he claims a monopoly on improving the lot of workers. His other problem is that profiteers have moved onto the middle class and a new generation is realizing the effects on their own prospects if middle class incomes are forced down by whatever means.

As for Bloomberg: at least he harvested his billions out of Wall Street rather than personally benefiting approx $20K for each blue collar job offshored to hostile competitors, which is what's being rumored about Romney. I still call that amoral, especially when the recipients of the jobs then developed a monopoly in areas like oral medication, by subsidizing production until US competitors are driven out. Seems odd to me that people who will spit at the likes of Sarah Huckabee-Sanders will applaud and kow tow to the enriched offshorers and their political servants who turned a blind eye as US manufacturing was gutted to deliver short-term profits to the 1%, even in strategic areas like rare earths and components for the military.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
