Bernie Sanders will be the target.
There is widespread panic among the Democratic and media establishment that a “SOCIALIST!” might run the table from here on out.
Pete Buttigieg is going to say that Bernie is “polarizing” and that he loves Castro. Yawn. I once respected Buttigieg. His unraveling has been pitiful.
Joe Biden may bring up the fact that Sanders contemplated a primary run against Obama. *gasp!* (“Psst…Obama was African American.” I wonder if Biden will be able to land that innuendo. He has lost more than a step in the innuendo landing department.)
Mike Bloomberg has been assailing Sanders’ record on gun control. He keep that going, but whatever. This is a dumb little sideshow for Blooms. (see below)
I hope Elizabeth Warren is smart enough to not succumb to attack Bernie conventional wisdom. After all that conventional wisdom is based on stupid old-timey political thinking. According to the millionaire TV pundit class Bernie’s “momentum” can be disrupted and primary voters in later states will re-think there support for Sanders.
That’s just dumb political consulting. Bernies support in later states is baked in. Nobody is going to say, “Wow, the corporate media takedown of Sanders at that debate has turned me into a Biden voter.” And yet, political consultants are making a lot of money with this kind of crap.
That simply will not happen. Let me know if I got any of this right. I will not be watching.

Bonus – anybody read about this Bloomberg plan to win on the second ballot at a brokered convention.
LAS VEGAS — Mike Bloomberg is privately lobbying Democratic Party officials and donors allied with his moderate opponents to flip their allegiance to him — and block Bernie Sanders — in the event of a brokered national convention.
The effort, largely executed by Bloomberg’s senior state-level advisers in recent weeks, attempts to prime Bloomberg for a second-ballot contest at the Democratic National Convention in July by poaching supporters of Joe Biden and other moderate Democrats, according to two Democratic strategists familiar with the talks and unaffiliated with Bloomberg.
