Michael Bloomberg to suspend campaign.

No, I'm serious. Biden has a good chance to beat Trump if you think about it and stop mourning that your favourite nominee won't make it.
They would have been with Biden if he wasn't in it anyway. He split his vote in California. which costs him delegates.
I get that piles and piles and piles of money goes into political campaigns, but Bloomberg's is especially and monumentally shitty. Half a billion dollars spent to do absolutely fuck-all in a primary race he had a 0% chance of winning when that could have gone towards anything else.
So the PAC can tailor ads based on what Biden would say at a rally. Interesting. Seems like a massive loop hole.
I mean he hopped in late spent some pocket change and still got third yesterday. The "meme" candidate got third. I'm not sure if he ever really had a chance against the guy who stood with Obama, a very nostalgic name for the majority of American people AND Bernie the great progressive hope but fuck if I can't feel things would have been different had the been there from the start against a less stacked field and that's speaks more to me about the truth of the American voter base then anything else. Like people are celebrating but I just can't help but feel this shows us that while the American voter base isn't 100% for sale it's dangerously close.

The guy spent $500 million on a possible 2-10% chance of becoming a presidential candidate, when he's worth $60 billion.
Jokes are easy and fun, but that's not stupid. I'd drop 1/120th of my networth in Vegas right now on those odds (even 2%) to be a presidential nominee in the fall.

He's worth 64 billion so yes. $550 million is less than 1% of his net worth
I'm going to miss gems like this
Warren didn't endorse until the convention in 2016. She's probably going to drop out in the next week, but I don't see her endorsing a candidate until the General.
He robbed Bernie/Warren (the "look at the rich" guys) of press time and sank them brought back Obamaism as a Democrat ideal, propelled his name in the most watched political race of American history (honestly) and even got a small nationwide political capital of his own.
Best spent $500 million in America this year.
What's the harm?
It's pocket change for him anyways.

People like to conveniently forget that there was a lot of lingering hatred and resentment towards the Clintons in the Midwest/Rust Belt because of NAFTA, which gutted the Midwest manufacturing industries. That absolutely played a role in Hillary losing those key States. Biden has no such baggage and therefore is much more likely to win back the States in the Rust Belt that Hillary lost.
Dude is absolutely not Hillary 2.0 in-the-making as many here are ready to claim.
We are very very very into capitalism here
He only has a chance of winning because he's not Trump. That's all he has going for him.
I love the idea of him pumping 500 million dollars into the economy as an unintentional stimulus package. Would love to see him spend another 500 million running anti-Trump ads and buying unemployed millenials sushi lunches, so long as he promises not to run for real.
LOL what a colossal waste of money.
Good. He was the true Monkey's Paw candidate; if he ended up with the nomination we would truly have been fucked.

Makes sense though this doesn't bode well for Bernie. Tulsi should drop out too, she's gettin beat by people who dropped out weeks ago.
Biden is not the savior though. Nothing will really change.
Biden is the best shot we've got now. I gave a lot of money to Warren but she needs to stand down.
Well, looks like those peeps who were making a living tweeting Bloomberg memes will have to start looking for a real job again. Shame.
Like all the others said, that's one hell of a lot of money he threw down the drain. Imagine how many crumbling roads could have been repaired by that. Among other things.
Damn, what a crazy week. This feels like that one Monopoly game where one of the players is just one turn away from bankrupcy with just a mortgaged Boardwalk and Park Place in his possession and then he suddenly lands on Free Parking, gets 10K in fines and taxes, unmortgages his properties and builds hotels on them and several turns later he owns everything north of St Charles Place.

Don't know how excited they were, but a shitload of people all over the country did exactly that last night, so...
This was all about his ego.
At least he has promised to spend his cash to help the dem and beat Trump in Nov.

I don't believe it either, I'm prepared for her to ride it all the way to the convention.
What I think is best for Bernie, is not what I assume will happen.
