where his votes had ended up otherwise.
On the other side, him being viable takes away a considerable chunk of delegates that could have been otherwise more or less evenly distributed among Biden and BS. At the convention when they are released, I'd be surprised if a large majority wouldn't go to Biden.

He wasn't viable in VA, he is on the line in NC but likely to fall short when all is said and done. If he doesn't make viability in Arkansas, Oklahoma or Tennessee then he won't have hurt Sanders much at all. On the other hand in CA if he is viable he likely helps Biden.

Biden was fumbling badly .
Bloomberg ads brought clarity to what is at stake and why certain candidates could not win the general.
Bloomberg supported House wins in 2018 and will do same in 2020

Biden as a candidate stlll has issues and will need supports through the general election from many players.

Republicans will hammer on the memory issues. which of course they covered up for Reagan.
