And we know the Orange Anus despises Mini Mike. As long as Bloomberg stays in,this Virus Story stays alive and that hurts the Trump reelection more than anything.

He is dropping like a rock anyway and if he gets over 15% anywhere it will keep delegates from Bernie.

I can't think of anything more powerful than an appearance tonight of Biden with Pete, Amy, Elizabeth and Mike all endorsing Biden.

But on the other hand, I don't want Bloomberg to do anything that would imperil his ability to run his psyops program against Trump (consisting of the ads, appearances and things like his prime time Coronavirus statement).

If he can keep doing that and move from the ballot to the periphery, it would be amazing. I'm in the camp of people who believe we need him to remain active in some capacity to destroy Trump. A two-pronged attack!!

loses his ass tomorrow. He paid for tomorrow's place on the ballot so let him have his paid day of drubbing. I think he will drop soon after tomorrow's vote shows he has no chance. It's the only way he can do it and save face after all that cash he tossed around.

And he's wanting something in return from whoever the leader is, that'll help his profits. He didn't run and spend all that money for nothing. I don't trust him at all.

I expect that he won't perform all that well, and will not have a path forward.

But I do hope he keeps his campaign organization and staff in place and directs it to helping the nominee and stopping Trump. He has invested a lot of resources in staffing local field offices.
