For All of Bernie's Attacks on Warren, A Stronger Case Can Be Made...

...that but for Bloomberg, Biden would be in control of the primaries. Heck, I voted for Warren in California, but I would prefer Biden, then Bloomberg over Sanders, because I just don't think he is fit to be the Democratic nominee or President given how his campaign centers on attacking the Democratic party and his divisive rhetoric that paints everyone who does not support him as part of the establishment rangine from Warren to Manchin.

NBC News Exit Poll: Bloomberg voters like Biden, lukewarm on Warren, sour on Sanders

Amid calls from party officials that Mike Bloomberg consider dropping out in the wake of his disappointing results in today's primaries, results from the NBC News Exit Poll suggest that Joe Biden could enjoy a strong advantage among the former New York mayor's supporters.



Bloomberg voters in three states — California, Colorado and Virginia — were asked their opinions of the three other major candidates in the race. Only Biden is viewed favorably by a majority of Bloomberg voters: They give him 71 percent favorable and 23 percent unfavorable ratings. Elizabeth Warren is perceived favorably by a slim margin by Bloomberg voters, at 46 percent favorable and 44 percent unfavorable. And Bernie Sanders is highly disliked by Bloomberg's supporters: 38 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable.

In polls conducted in 12 of the 14 Super Tuesday states, nearly 1 in 5 Bloomberg voters said they could not guarantee that they would support the Democratic nominee in November regardless of who it is.

1. Bloomberg is done

Even if he stays in.

2. Sadly, Bernie's Campaign Has Relentlessly Attacked Warren...

...even though they should see her as a potential ally. However, they just can't help themselves with their attacks on Warren and demands that she drop out even though Bernie himself refused to drop out when he was all but mathematically eliminated.

While Bernie's campaign has been pushing this narrative blaming Warren for Bernie's failure to seize the nomination, the fact of that matter is that if Bloomberg were to also drop out, then it would not matter if Warren dropped out and endorsed Bernie.

Also, it is a mistake to assume that Warren supporters would automatically support Bernie. I sure don't. It is not just about positions. It is about character. Who can be a unity candidate as the Democratic nominee? It sure is not going to be Bernie who can barely go a day without making a divisive attack on the Democratic party itself.
