(25,473 posts)He has an ego, no doubt, but I think priority one is still to get rid of Trump. He quite clearly doesn't think Sanders can do that, so if it looks like the only way to stop Sanders and beat Trump (from his perspective) is Biden, he might get behind him.
I think it's probably too early, though. I suspect he'll see how it goes on Super Tuesday. If Biden closes the gap substantially, I think BB might drop out and throw his cash behind Biden (or, more accurately, at Trump). If Sanders wins big and regains and solidifies the lead, BB stays in because he'll think he's the only one with the resources to stop Sanders.
All just guesses, of course, but I think his desire to get rid of Trump is so visceral and personal that he's no doubt weighing the options and might do something we might not otherwise expect.

Every person that has ever run for political office has an ego the size of Texas. Given all the s##t thrown at them, if they did not have a massive ego they would be suicidal by the end of Day 1 of their campaign

(99,711 posts)I have almost as much chance as he does of garnering the nomination and would probably be more palatable to the Democratic electorate.

(18,890 posts)He will be subject to election donation laws. He NEEDS to stay IN to be able to spend the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ as a CANDIDATE.
Yeah, it's a loophole, but it is one he is utilizing and WE NEED !!!!!!
I hope he moves towards Biden support, but as long as he is a candidate he can spend ALL THE $$$$$$$$$ HE WANTS TO !
When he drops out he can donate a few thousand to a candidate - that's all.
I have no interest in him as a president, but I respect the fact that he is willing to spend BIG $$$$$$$$ or erradicate the orange anus.

(5,790 posts)Many of the Stupid Tuesday races look to split delegates three ways, and he is in line to benefit for that.
