I still predict Bernie becomes the front runner, but that the party *expletive deleted*s him at the convention.  It would have been Biden but now I think it'll be Bloomberg.

I'm inclined to agree.   The DNC has apparently changed the debate rules to accommodate him (and no, I don't mean he's allowed to stand on a box):

Klobachar strikes out, and Gabbard will be Guam baby Guam after Tuesday.

Warren will likely not do well and will have her reservations about continuing, leaving us with the billionaire, the bumbler, and the Bern.

And when a candidate exits they don't have to give the money the raised back and can put it towards other electoral purposes, yes?

So maybe running for POTUS is another way of funding your down-ticket effort. You've no interest in actually being president, you just want to keep your seat but running for POTUS gives you a national audience and allows you to pull in more money than you could just from the locals.

Looks like Mike can't buy himself an election with $400 million or so in ad spending...

Bloomberg is OUT!

That $400 million got him one victory...American Samoa caucuses.

Oh and I updated the OP.

Man I'm hoping this means we're done being plagued with Bloomberg adds on Youtube.

Also,  Bye Mike! Die in a fire.
