“For the Democrats, it was a disaster,” he said. “The debate resembled a firing squad.”

The candidates’ warfare is bad timing with the Nevada caucuses, although Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., got lucky, Varney said, since all the attention was on former New York City Mike Bloomberg.

“[Bernie] still has problems,” Varney said. “He’s 78 years old. He had a heart attack in October but now, refuses to release his medical records … That’s a problem.”

Varney mentioned Bernie will also ban fracking, removing roughly a million fracking jobs from states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Colorado.

“And he'll ban private health insurance,” he said. “You hear that, union members? Your generous health plans are toast.”

“A poor performance on television is the kiss of death in politics,” Varney said. “Let’s see if $400 million buys him a better performance next time around.”

Varney predicts, once voting in Nevada begins, the Democratic party will be split, “and the candidates will still be fighting each other."
