11. Will be a sad day for the Democratic party if his money wins in the end

What we have seen with his statements, policies, NDAs, funding of repubs, etc. should be enough to disqualify him as a terrible candidate to take on drumpf. His showing tonight only confirmed that. His staying in the race while qualified true POC Democrats like Harris and Castro had to drop out because of funding would be a disaster for the party.

Money won't buy a general election in which the Democrats need women to turn out like they did in 2018. They won't do that for Bloomberg and we will lose.

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

I'm pissed at Michael Bloomberg CalFione Feb 2020 #3

and in my view he has hurt Biden the worst, with Amy and Pete to a lesser degree still_one Feb 2020 #5

You have to lay blame at sleep walking Biden for that Moderateguy Feb 2020 #6

Biden was ahead for near a year. He still is in swing states. And leading in S.C. Both billionaires emmaverybo Feb 2020 #12

Biden's poor showing in Iowa and NH had nothing to do with Bloomberg or Steyer. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #47

They very much have to do with his projections in other states. Steyer has had an effect on emmaverybo Feb 2020 #49

Write him off? Quite the contrary. Laelth Feb 2020 #16
