I have nothing against Bloomberg wanting to keep Trump from being re-elected, or his wanting to keep Sanders from getting the nomination when that would almost guarantee Trump's re-election.

I have no doubt Bloomberg will do all he can to help Biden if Biden can get the nomination.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
