    Too bad for Bloomberg that he didn't seem properly prepared for the jarring personal attacks that were directed against him.

    Joe, I'm not counting B out but I'm amazed that he doesn't seem to have prepared for a highly combative---and nasty---assault by Bernie and Liz---or, if he did prepare---using standard role playing, focus group, methods---he may simply have frozen on the "debate" platform. Imagine what will happen if he gets the Dem's nomination and is facing T in the really decisive debates with all of the childish name calling and posturing that will ensue. Will he freeze ---again?
