      if Bloomberg somehow buys the nomination, Bernie should run as an independent, right?

      we laugh at Bloomberg bc he looks and sounds like an insect caught between tweezers, but if he spends 1/75th of his fortune that’s more $ than Bernie has raised in a lifetime. Not to mention possible allied billionaire cash in the mix. We honestly have no idea how this plays out

      I don't know whether this is artifact of timing of the polls, but only 2 candidates have better fav-unfav ratios in #IowaCaucus now, than April. * Buttigieg ratio improved by 27 points; * Yang improved by 9. Warren +15 over summer, but gave it back. via @MonmouthPoll pic.twitter.com/qg3hITcRp0

      Jeet how do you think Pete won that 27 point bump? By outspending rivals in Iowa by 10 to 1, but with far less $ than MB has in his chest

      We'll see how long Buttigieg's bump lasts.

      I think TV can get you shallow short terms support but nothing like the loyalty that actually politically organizing gets you. And Bloomberg is a perfect foil for Bernie: a plutocratic media baron entering race as a spoiler.

      I think Steyer is a better model of what Bloomberg is likely to be like. Lots of money will get him 3-4%, maybe a place on debate stage. He'll be a good foil for Bernie & Warren to run against.

          Bloomberg will fill the airwaves with anti-Bernie and anti-Medicare 4 All ads. That is likely all he hopes to accomplish.

          Anecdotally my family is high on Bloomberg based on name recognition and his supposed centrism. I think he’s gotta poll than Steyer — how many voters knew of Steyer last year? But maybe Bloomberg’s favorable are worse outside the tri state and his reputation actually hurts him

          Why in hell would Bloomberg want with a place in the democratic primary media , dog-and-pony 'debate' puppet show? One national campaign ad will get him more exposure and he won't have to put up with all the flies attracted to the slabs of dead meat hanging there.

          Bernie can't even out-poll Buttigieg in Iowa and they've changed the rules to allow remote voting in the caucus so he can't 'pack the halls'
