Senator Elizabeth Warren has spent most of her presidential campaign playing nice as everyone's favorite teacher who has SO. MANY. PLANS. But at last night's Democratic debate in Nevada, she cracked her knuckles, threw some bows, and basically destroyed every single electability argument the media has tossed her way since she announced her run. Then she ate Michael Bloomberg's ego for dessert.
While the senator went after everyone on that stage (her legit comedy set about the other candidates' health care plans was just one extraordinary highlight), nothing made Warren's blood visibly boil like Bloomberg, who made his debate debut. While everyone went after the billionaire, a man with a very recent past of using racist and sexist language and who is accused of trying to buy the Democratic nomination, no one seemed to enjoy crushing him into oblivion quite like Warren.
"I'd like to talk about who we're running against: a billionaire who calls women 'fat broads' and 'horse-faced lesbians.' And, no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg," she said, as the crowd lost their damn minds. "Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns...of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop-and-frisk. Look, I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is, but understand this: Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another."
Ya. Burnt.
