If Bloomberg drops out soon, who will benefit?

I'm thinking Biden benefits a lot if Bloomberg folds his tent. I think well over half of Bloomberg voters at this point will turn to Biden in any future primaries. I simply can't see more than 20% of the Bloomberg voter--if event that many going to BS. If Bloomberg had dropped out Sunday--or even Monday--Biden would have crushed any hopse BS had on Super Tuesday. Warren might benefit more than Sanders does when Bloomberg folds--assuming she's still in the race--but not much more than Sanders.

While I still prefer Warren over Biden, I think Biden is candidate, especially if Bloomberg drops out soon.

I do hope Warren's proposed wealth tax gets past--and they name it honor in of Bloomberg.

He's been siphoning his votes all night.

Even if he endorses and Biden gets the delegates at the convention, he's still looking like the reason we'll quite possibly have a brokered convention. It's ridiculous.
