What does Bloomberg do if Biden wins SC?

There isnt room for both of them to be the "moderate" and win the nomination. Will be interesting to see how the multi-billionaire tries to buy the nomination if that occurs. I dont want Biden to be the nominee but i respect him as being a loyal democrat for decades.

But it makes no sense for him and Biden to be going after the same voters when i think there arent enough of them to be shared.

Two "Yankee" liberals? Not a chance. If Sanders wins, he needs to pick someone like Julian Castro, to give him support in the middle and South of the country.

Sometimes reinforcing the brand/message is more important than traditional ticket-balancing. (Maybe most of the time — there’s precious little evidence that ticket-balancing has ever helped.)

Also, Julian Castro would be a terrible choice, in my opinion. He would bring nothing to the ticket. His own presidential bid did not attract Latinos or anyone else; he couldn’t win a statewide race in Texas, much less strengthen the ticket elsewhere; and he doesn’t have a distinguished CV (not for someone who might be called upon to assume the presidency immediately). That guy is so overrated. Bluntly, I’d be glad if he left politics entirely.

Warren would be a much stronger choice.

likely lose not only the POTUS, but the House as well. That Blue Wave in 2018 was almost exclusively moderate Dems winning in pink, purple and Red seats. You can kiss those goodbye after billions of dollars worth of COMMMMMMMIE!!!! Rethug red baiting adverts are dropped on our Party's head.

I doubt many democrats will trust him after the recent audio leaks, etc.

I already didn't trust him, but his praise of trump was the last straw for me.
