Democrats unleashed a roaring assault against Bernie Sanders and seized on Mike Bloomberg's past with women in the workplace during a contentiousTuesday night that tested the strength of the two men at the center of the party's presidential nomination fight.
The intensity of Tuesday's forum, with candidates repeatedly shouting over each other, reflected the reality that the Democrats' establishment wing is quickly running out of time to stop Sanders' rise. Even some critics, Bloomberg among them, conceded that Sanders could build an insurmountable delegate lead as soon as next week.
Bloomberg "cannot earn the trust of the core of the Democratic Party," Warren said. "He is the riskiest candidate standing on this stage." Last week, Sanders acknowledged that he'd be been briefed by intelligence officials who said that Russia is attempting to interfere in the elections to benefit him. He responded to Bloomberg on Tuesday with a direct statement for Putin: "Hey, Mr. Putin, if I'm president of the United States, trust me you're not going to interfere in any more American elections.
Warren, who raised questions about Sanders' electability earlier in the night, intercepted that criticism, arguing that a "progressive agenda is popular." Bloomberg, who for years defended New York's stop-and-frisk policing policy that a federal court struck down, made an overt appeal to the nation's black voters.
