Democratic Primaries

Bloomberg was a lifelong Dem. He switched to R to run for mayor of NYC because Mark Greenberg had the D nomination sowed up. He served two terms as an R, then switched to I to serve his third term. Bloomberg put his money behind many D candidates in 2018 and helped create the blue wave. He has said that he will continue to spend his money to defeat tRump whether he gets the nomination or not. He is helping Ds across the board right now with his ads that effectively target tRump.
Compare that to Sanders, who took D money in 2016, promised to help on down-ticket races then didn't, and who dragged out his failed attempt to get the nomination and hurt Hillary in the process.
That's who I will not be supporting in these primaries. Sanders is my last choice in the primaries, though I will vote for him if he gets the nomination, which he won't.
BTW - if either Bloomberg or Sanders gets the nod, I fully expect the Rs to launch a virulent anti-Semitic attack against them. It will be ugly, shameless and overt.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
