      1. We need to game out the fact that if either Sanders or Warren is the nominee, some ghoulish billionaire (either Bloomberg or someone else) will do a third party run as a "centrist"https://twitter.com/adamcbest/status/1160607727229579264 …

      Michael Bloomberg not committing to supporting Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren if they win isn't a knock on them — it’s a reason to like them. Bernie or Liz would make billionaires pay their fair share, so of course billionaires are gonna be resistant. pic.twitter.com/3bjBFhp6qM

      2. I suspect that a Bloomberg spoiler campaign wouldn't draw enough votes to change election and might take as much from Trump as Warren or Sanders. But I'd like to see polling on this. It's a very real possibility.

      The big understated factor in the whole race is third party candidates - whether on the left or center. I think there’s a good case that Trump needs one or more third party entrants to have a credible shot at winning.

      Yep. That's why Gabbard worries me.

          And that's why the Russians are supporting her.

          I would argue Clinton loses both 92 and 96 without Perot.

          She's so obviously a spoiler and the fact that Dems aren't doing anything about it is insane. I want to ask Warren if she has a plan for Tulsi Gabbard.

          Gabbard is not going to run 3rd party.

          She'd probably syphon votes from trump more than the left.

          She seems to have pretty emphatically knocked that idea down: "I will support the eventual nominee to defeat Donald Trump." https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/08/tulsi-gabbard-kamala-harris-2020-1452578 …

          I still don’t understand her reason for running. There’s no GOP senate seat for her to pivot toward after dropping out. Maybe governor in 22? She has no constituency, she isn’t left enuf for the left - her positions aren’t ideologically coherent. Is it just to serve as spoiler?

          Does she have any real support, though? I guess as an alternative to Biden, she could have a bit.
