Bloomberg just dropped out, throws support to Biden.

[brush]

Woohoo!

[Sloumeau]

1. brush, thank you so very much for posting this! :)

This is great news for Joe Biden!

[dalton99a]

2. Great eviction crew to throw that asshole out of the White House

[Walleye]

3. Even with his billions. $10 million for each delegate, he'd go broke

[Sunlei]

31. He will never go broke with the legal tax deductions for "donations"

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Good for Joe. And I for one am celebrating that Bloomberg won't be our nominee. n/t

[DownriverDem]

17. Excellent!

Go Joe!

[PatSeg]

21. Me too

I'm beginning to have more faith in Democratic voters than ever before. All his ads and glossy flyers couldn't win them over!

[The Genealogist]

5. So happy to hear

Things are changing like mad. So exciting. GO JOE!

[Gothmog]

6. Yeah

8. Bloomberg's stock just went up in my book

he did the right thing here and I'll give him credit for that



Now use those billions to kick Trump's ass out of office

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Yes! Meanwhile Bernie out there burning bridges big time,

[IronLionZion]

45. Bridges are feeling the burn

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Good one. Reminds me of Steven Wright. "It's a big

world but I wouldn't want to have to paint it."

[DIVINEprividence]

9. I hope Warren stays in and splits Bernie's votes

Bernie insulted Warren and told her a woman can’t win and when she called him out was called a liar. Warren has the money, is the last female major candidate and should stay in the race just to spite Bernie to return the favor for what he pulled on HRC. The left left can then enjoy having their vote divided by a stubborn, self righteous, idealist following her bliss. LOL. The irony is so delicious. Two words for you Bernie progs...RALPH NADER

[democrattotheend]

14. You sound like you'd rather progressives vote for a Ralph Nader-like candidate

In November. Personally, I'd rather have them vote for the Democratic nominee, which will probably be Biden but that's far from certain. But it sounds like people like you don't want their votes. Gloating and taking pleasure in their defeat is hardly the best way to bring them on board with your candidate, don't ya think?

Bernie could have run as a third-party candidate in 2016 and taken a lot more votes from Hillary, but he didn't. He endorsed her and campaigned for her, not as wholeheartedly as I would have liked, but he did support her, as did most of us who supported him in the primary.

[Dem2]

10. Huh

Well, that's good news - I'd like to see this down to a 2-person race.

[colorado_ufo]

15. 3

[Dem2]

44. "I'd like to see"

I realize Warren hasn't withdrawn (Or Tulsi for that matter.)

[vlyons]

11. Yeah Mike!!!

Let's not forget that he funded a lot of Dem candidates in 2018.

[SilasSouleII]

12. Hope he keeps running anti-trump ads through November

This is good news!

[SlimJimmy]

26. I guarantee that he'll be funding those ads right up to the convention.

And depending on the final nominee, through November.

[Cha]

13. Good on Mike.. now he can make

anti-trump ads to his hearts content.. and ours!

[iluvtennis]

16. And Joe sent very nice tweet about Mike Bloomberg...Uncle Joe just gets how to treat people.

Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330)@JoeBiden·8m
@MikeBloomberg, I can’t thank you enough for your support—and for your tireless work on everything from gun safety reform to climate change. This race is bigger than candidates and bigger than politics. It’s about defeating Donald Trump, and with your help, we’re gonna do it.

18. Thank you Mike Bloomberg! PLEASE keep spending your $$$$ to defeat the evil

occupant of the White House and his zombie Republican minions.

[Thekaspervote]

19. Happy dance 💃

[thesquanderer]

20. I wonder if he'd have as quickly endorsed Biden if it weren't for the fact that...

......the only other remaining possibilities are Sanders and Warren, neither of whom he would like to see as President (Sanders even refusing his help, and Warren also having been his biggest thorn at the debates, besides the other differences he has with them). I suspect that made it easy to endorse someone right away, and clearly for that person to be Biden.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

22. Good!

I voted for Pete via absentee ballot prior to him dropping out, but I would have voted for Biden on Tuesday if I didn't do absentee. Oh well.

I changed my preference to Biden because he's the one I want to vote for in November now.

[Butterflylady]

23. I was never worried about him

Because he never had a chance of winning.

[FamousMortimer]

24. Awesome

I was hoping for this last night and it happened!

[AllaN01Bear]

27. since i already turned in my mail in ballot , my old a list got alot shorter.

[Jarqui]

28. Biden was second choice for a lot of Bloomberg's supporters

As I vaguely recall, Sanders was well down the list in their preferences.

Not good news for Bernie. Might be fatal news.

Could be offset some or a lot by Warren dropping out.

I suspect the odds of a truly brokered convention just fell substantially.

[Joinfortmill]

29. Go Joe, Go!

[Politicub]

30. Bloomberg kept his word.

I was thrilled to hear the news this morning.

[jumptheshadow]

33. Because the best way to fight a divider...

...is to form a coalition of the best and brightest.

[njhoneybadger]

34. Thank you, Mike

[NYMinute]

[enid602]

36. Mike

I hope Mike makes himself available to help Joe after the election. Who knows what shape the Fed is in.

[aikoaiko]

37. Best news I've heard all day.

Odd that he would support Biden.

[sandensea]

38. And he thus showed that he's become a Democrat in best sense.

One able to put aside his own wishes, for the best of our party - and the nation.

[brush]

40. Wish someone else, who shall remain unmentioned, would do the same.

[NCProgressive]

39. Oh no ... now we'll have to hear the anti-billionaire rants non-stop.

[NurseJackie]

41. Yes!

[brush]

43. Yes, yes, happy dance.

[BootinUp]

42. It's OVER... basically. Nt
