The nationally televised debate was for many voters the first unscripted look at Bloomberg, a media mogul and former New York mayor whose campaign until now has been fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars of self-funded television ads and carefully choreographed personal appearances.

Elizabeth Warren: "We're running against a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-face lesbians. And no I'm not talking about Donald Trump, I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg. Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop-and-frisk."

Pete Buttigieg went after both Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders: "Most Americans don't see where they fit if they have to choose between a socialist who thinks money is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power. Let's put forward somebody who actually lives and works in the middle class neighborhood in an industrial Midwestern city. Let's put forward somebody who's actually a Democrat." "We shouldn't have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out. We can do better." REUTERS/David Becker

Mike Bloomberg: "I'm a philanthropist who didn't inherit his money, but made his money. I'm spending that money to get rid of Donald Trump -- the worst president we've ever had. And if I can get that done, it will be a great contribution to America and to my kids." REUTERS/Mike Blake

Joe Biden on Mike Bloomberg: "The fact of the matter is has not managed his city very well when he was there. He didn't get a whole lot done. He had stop-and-frisk - throwing close to 5 million young black men up against the wall - and when we came along in our administration, President Obama and I said we're going to send a mediator to stop it, he said that's unnecessary." Biden said that the Obama administration worked to put an end to the policy. "Let's get the facts straight. Let's get the order straight. It's not whether you apologize or not, it's the policy. The policy was abhorrent. And it was in fact a violation of every right people have." REUTERS/David Becker

Bloomberg said he was "worried" and "embarrassed" about his support for stop and frisk and said he had apologized for supporting it. "If we took off everybody that was wrong off this panel, everybody that was wrong on criminal justice sometime in their careers, there'd be nobody else up here," Bloomberg said. REUTERS/Mike Blake

After a discussion about Sanders' democratic socialist economic proposals, Bloomberg said he could not think of an easier way to get Trump re-elected. "It's ridiculous. We're not going throw out capitalism. We tried that, other countries tried - it was called communism and just didn't work," he said. Sanders called it "a cheap shot." "The best-known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss here?" Bloomberg said of Sanders. "I can't speak for all billionaires. All I know is that I've been very lucky, made a lot of money and I'm giving it all away to make this country better. And a good chunk of it goes to the Democratic Party as well." REUTERS/Mike Blake

Warren criticized Bloomberg for reports that his namesake media company mistreated women employees. She called on him to release women who sued his company from non-disclosure agreements. "I hope you heard what his defense was: I've been nice to some women. That just doesn't cut it. The mayor has to stand on his record and what we need to know is what's lurking out there."
