Excellent Town Hall by Mike Bloomberg on CNN

He was 100% better than on the debates,
and should do more of them.

Yeah, yeah I know.
The 'haters' will trash him.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

If you want to lose the midwest, nominate 'Mr Wall Street'. If you want Sanders supporters to go AWOL, nominate a poster child for 'the billionaire class'. If you want women to stay at home, nominate the "kill it" guy.

Bloomberg has marginally better chances in the GE than Sanders - DOA.

That's just a wild claim from Warren for which she has no proof.

"Well, someone told me."

What most voters will remember I suspect is his dismal performance in the debates. I think that's why his polling numbers have been tanking.
