"Maybe Joe Biden is taking votes away from me?"

Did Bloomberg really say that today??

Asked about Elizabeth Warren

Bloomberg said..

"I didn't know she was still in it"





Mike.. Mike... Mike.. I know that might be your NY sense of humor..but it does not play well in the midwest..

Mike. Mike, Mike... you have spent 1/2 billion dollars.. jumped in at the end of the process.. missed the first four contests..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

If you can’t take it then don’t dish it out. Don’t get me wrong Elizabeth (except for MFA) is a billion times better than Bloomberg.

in her Senate race. He might want to be a little more circumspect about his Warren digs. I understand, he doesn't like the way she's gone after him, but they do have that history. Plus his presence does play right into one of her biggest campaign themes.

The polls haven't picked up on Bloomberg support cratering. But that will be the biggest surprise tonight, Bloomberg under 15% viability in most states.
