when things get a bit rough. To vote for Bloomberg out of panic would mean that Biden’s 30% ceiling could dwindle to around 15%, with Bloomberg ending up at around 15% as well. This leaves Bernie the leader with around 25%.

One thing I can say about Bernie supporters is that, even after a heart attack and consistently being 2nd and 3rd in the polls, they stayed strong behind him and chose not to waver. This is how candidates win.

Sadly, we don’t seem to have that same discipline. We don’t know how to win. For us to not realize that a vote for Bloomberg is a vote for Bernie, is worrisome.

That being said, Bloomberg will be never get my vote in the Primaries. I am a true Biden supporter.
