why wouldn't Bloomberg drop out of the race, because it is pretty clear the person he is hurting is Biden the most

This whole thing doesn't make sense

Also, if Warren wants to be viable, in my view she needs to go after Sanders, and demonstrate why she is a better choice than he is, but I doubt that will happen, since for some reason the candidates have mostly been hands off in regards to being critical of Sanders

"Bottom line is that if Biden, Buttigieg and Klobuchar stay in the race despite having no path to appreciable collecting delegates on Super Tuesday..."


"Now a 3 candidate race, MRB, Sanders and trump..."...with MRB posing the greatest threat to both.


Huh They too did well in erasing Warren.

Wonder if MRB will bring this up tonight?

She is hardly mentioned much, and does indeed need to shine once again.

that will mold my decision who to vote for on Super Tuesday between Biden, Amy, Pete

To me Bloomberg is effectively assuming the role of a third party candidate, or spoiler.

but Joe has been doing really well (again) lately when I get to hear him. So I am very easy to switch at any time!

He declined to attend the CNN town hall to take questions from voters tomorrow.

He is only getting play because his ads define him. Tonight, he has to answer actual questions. As he should have been doing all along.

Candidates leaving him and Bernie which he thinks DNC will push for at convention since they usually go moderate.

I think if its a fight at convention we will loose as many of Bernie’s people will be pissed at him for manipulating it this way.
