2. Yang might endorse him but definitely won't be his VP pick. They're both from New York. Bad move.

if he was smart, he would start talking about the teams he has built, and what they accomplish. and carry a copy of 'team of rivals' around w him.

my dream team would be bloomberg/warren. crazy talk i know. but...

10. He's already said he won't unless they back UBI.

So it's kind of a non issue, because no other candidate wants to admit it's necessary or plan for it

Let's just keep patching up the same broken systems that fail so many people now. Because logic

Mixed metaphors intended.

C'mon, man, NAME NAMES.

Or at least tell us it was "a senior white house official" like Danny the Reporter used to do on The West Wing.

C'mon... don't be a tease...

We need more details.

7. Yang will not endorse Bloomberg.

13. I would not have a problem voting for Bloomberg, but I am hoping we coalesce behind Joe

I feel like the Sanders performance in these last two weeks has focused our attention. At least I hope so.

14. Better hurry then, 35% of delegates assigned on Super Tuesday, 65% by end of March.

Better coalesce a lot more rapidly.

Time is running out, and fast.

People can't dither and dally between Biden and Bloomberg much longer.
