The Nevada Democratic debate was by far the most fiery one yet this election season. Here are some of the most memorable moments.
• Pete Buttigieg on the choice between Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg, “Let’s put forward a candidate who’s actually a Democrat”:
We shouldn't have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and one candidate who wants to buy this party out. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/iE8syCzv17

• The exchange that perhaps stung Mike Bloomberg the most, Elizabeth Warren hammering away at non-disclosure agrements his company has had women sign:
WARREN: He has gotten some number of women — dozens, who knows — to sign NDAs for sexual harassment.
BLOOMBERG: None of them accuse me of doing anything other than maybe they didn't like a joke I told.
