Maine Primary: Sanders - Buttigieg - Bloomberg

Link to tweet

Sanders may get the most votes, but this doesn't seem to be the path to a unifying nomination.

nb - wasn't Maine supposed to be one of Warren's firewalls?

I hope Bloomberg has the same attitude.

They do matter. As has been proven time and time and time again.

certainly mattered for Amy. And, by the way, I just saw an ad for her on Charleston's NBC affilliate!

The attacks will be on three people. Sanders and Bloomberg and Biden.

How they do will determine if the others can gain at their expense.

Bernie actually wants the others to do well. As long as there are multiple people, Bernie can keep winning at 25%.

The media is abuzz about the three you mentioned. Unless Amy and Warren can get themselves noticed, donations will dwindle and their campaigns will starve for cash.
