63. Not really. The math is pretty straightforward

There are many more Bernie supporters than republicans who are disgusted with this guy.

The real question is how many people in the middle were holding their noses to vote for him because they didn’t like Hillary... and how many of those will find Bloomberg more palatable (compared to the millions on the left that he will almost certainly lose).

But the ones on the right who were disgusted with him four years ago? They’ve gotten almost everything they want. They’re hooked at this point.

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