A big thank you to Elizabeth Warren for taking on Bloomberg.

Looks like Bloomberg's numbers are heading back down, and the single person most responsible for this is Elizabeth Warren. Of all the candidates, he is the one I would least like to see as nominee, and I think a lot of Dems feel the same way, regardless of who our first choice is. Yes, I would vote for him against Trump, but thanks to Warren it looks less and less likely that I will have to do that.

He had a good chance of winning. My moderate son n law was going to vote for him before first debate he was in, him and my daughter changed from Bloomberg and Biden to Pete. They are 38 and 40 and he is Lt Colonel in AF.

Bernie would LOVE to have a two man race between Bloomberg and him, as opposed to a 2 man race between him and Biden. Bloomberg is massively divisive simply based on past actions, and Bernie would have a far easier time pulling in the supporters of other candidates who had dropped out if Bloomberg was their only other option.

I'm dumbfounded that so many Democrats were so easily swayed by some well-made commercials. The guy is a republican with a lot of baggage.

I also find it amusing that the reason some of them argue for supporting him is because "he can go toe-to-toe with trump." Warren shattered that argument. Yet these same people now claim she was "mean." Interesting how they want someone with that characteristic to go against trump, just not a woman apparently.

Glad that she helped us head down the right nomination track without 52% of the population having to deal with all that.
