Bloomberg was propping up Republicans as recently as 2016. He gave big donations to Pat Toomey's campaign who squeaked out re-election to the Senate. That is going to be a huge issue that is going to come up. I'm not aware of any time Sanders or any other Dem candidate has been so helpful to the GOP.
Sanders also hasn't donated to Pete King, Steve Scalise, or Pat Toomey.
Nor did Sanders donate to Brown when he was in a race against Warren.
So yeah, fuck Bloomberg.
9 things to know about Michael Bloomberg
After being discussed as a potential candidate in each of the 2008, 2012 and 2016 races, billionaire businessman, philanthropist and political activist Michael Bloomberg has finally declared his candidacy for the 2020 presidential election — after earlier this year saying he wouldn’t run...

Mike Bloomberg Spent Millions To Put Them In Congress. Now, They're Endorsing Him. - Asume Tech
When Rep. Harley Rouda became one of the first members of Congress to endorse Mike Bloomberg for president, the California Democrat billed it as a marriage of moderates. “He has been a fiscal conservative and a social progressive, which is where I believe most Americans are,” Rouda said...

money talks.
Keep in mind people I'm not endorsing bloomberg, and won't vote for him when PA rolls around. But anyone that doesn't think the tens of millions that his PAC has spent propping up Dem candidates, the bootcamps he's running, and his direct stumping for candidates like Gillum won't matter is kidding themselves.
Yeah, he's backed Toomey, Collins, and other unsavory characters over time, but his spending is FAR, FAR more democratic than it isn't.
by the time the field starts to narrow, Sanders will have won every super tuesday state
Bernie is going to lose the majority of Super Tuesday states
Easily the most baffling candidacy. Unlike Bloomberg, he didn't have the money or recognition to make a late entrance and expect it to go anywhere.
I dunno if I can buy this ceiling talk, not after that's what everyone obsessed about with Trump for months and it being almost entirely wrong.
If say, Kamala Harris was winning over Bernie & Warren under the same circumstances, would you be making the same argument?
It's a delegate race, though, not a state race.
There's an upside for him in that 38% of the delegates will be allocated. But if he's winning states and only getting 1-2 delegates more than the next person, and the field narrows after that? It might not be enough for anyone to get an outright majority, but it might be enough for someone to get 1 more delegate than he gets, and, therefore, claim they have the right to the nomination.
Bernie trying to follow the Trump strategy in a proportional system is not going to get him enough...he needs to blow out some states at some point.
I'm not worried about the DNC handing the nom to Bloomberg somehow. That ain't it. I'm worried about him getting it "legitimately" by outspending all other candidates combined tenfold with his own pocket change. The man is trying to buy the Presidency. The DNC is not the boogieman.
If Dem primary voters are dumb enough to vote for "the nice man in all the tv commercials" then I don't see how the DNC is supposed to stop them.

So, uh. Apparently there are still votes to be counted. And Bernie's lead is shrinking. He's going to win, right? Cause anything else just means more chaos...
His lead has been ~5k almost all night long. Still is around there.
What metric are you using? CNN has about 59% of the vote in with Sanders +2.9
Up to 2.17% now, with some strong Buttibutt areas still out. Might be a squeaker.
Looks like it, but not by as much as I think most expected.
Decision desk is getting things way faster. They almost always do.

Thanks
Polls have him winning the majority of those states tho?
The family's going to encourage him to continue, say that he's actually the most electable in the field and that he just needs more time at the bottom.
It's down to 3900.

I've heard it so many times now I was saying "He knew me." before she even got to that part.
Er hasn't Warren been blasted (unfairly) for being too feisty and too much of a fighter?
I swear voters are just throwing darts blindfolded >_<
Yeah of course she is going to tell it... she won the debate with it.
Looking at tonight's performance, I don't see how anyone could be feeling confident about Bernie's chances in other states. This was supposed to be his wheelhouse, and it's going to be an absolute squeaker.
Maybe he does well on Super Tuesday, but nothing here today indicates that that would be so. If anything, today confirms that it's all up in the air.

The $64,000 question is probably "Is Bernie also near his ceiling with minority voters?"
Iowa and New Hampshire haven't been promising for him to peel off people who weren't already with him.
This will change if Warren and Biden Collapse.
In fact, I would say NH tonight was REALLY bad news long term for Bernie for the following:
>NH is a very white state near his home state.
>Warren is the Closest candidate to his postions and is friendly with him
>Warren's collapse in the polls to this final result showed almost NONE of the Warren voters went to Bernie.
>Amy and Pete appear to have taken the vast majority of Warren's voters....and that has to be extremely concerning to anyone thinking long term for Bernie.
Bernie's best hope is there are 3 or 4 candidates picking up delegates well past super Tuesday with no clear winner. We'll see what happens.
Facts are Facts here folks.
He's not, but that doesn't mean they'll be voting for Biden. His African-American support dropped like a damn rock in the latest polls. And Bernard has the Latino vote, not Biden.
