3. I'm about to be extremely unpopular here.

This is why Bloomberg needs to be in the debates. He's polling so high because all were seeing are his ads, and most people don't know anything much about candidates other than what they see served up to them via social media (Bloomberg is on that via high profile influencers!) and advertising, which he also owns.

He needs to be held accountable by the other candidates. I'm honestly, not sure he really wanted to be in a debate this early... I don't think it was his plan until after Super Tuesday to be in the actual fray. It gives him exposure he's not in control of before his planned launch date. Which doesn't fit the MO of his campaign.

If he does well, then he's going to continue to rise, but if he wasn't there he was equally positioned to continue to rise per his formula. At least now the other candidates get to test him.

Oh, look there! Another Bloomberg ad on my TV! I'm not kidding.

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