Done extensive research but it seems the Bloomberg effect helps Democrats in secure seats but helps Republicans in close races.
interesting that two of three targeted Democrat senators, who weren't pure enough on gun control, were replaced by tea partiers. To some apparently that is success.
I am unaware of any Republicans who replaced by Democrats based on his support.
I believe some might point to Colorado but it was assumed that Democrats would take those seats back in the general election. Also those were state level not national.
