Despite spending half a billion dollars, Bloomberg won't win a single state on Super Tuesday.


He's an unelectable billionaire.


Winning creates money flow. Biden will have a cash infusion after tonight.

He's not my first choice though I could live with him (I'm between Biden and Warren), but if he gets into Trump's head and can show the country how a real leader should be acting then more power to him. He's got the money to troll Trump, which he genuinely seems to enjoy doing, so why not let him have at it?

I get ads from him every single day in the mail. He is constantly on the radio. He's on everything. He is hitting Michigan hard. I'll vote for him if he gets the nomination, and I like what he says in his ads, but he isn't my pick and enough is enough! I'll be glad when our primary date is past.
