Bloomberg surpasses Warren in major endorsements after debate debut
NBC "News" ^ | February 20, 2020 | by Liz Brown-Kaiser

Mike Bloomberg has officially surpassed Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in presidential endorsements from members of Congress and governors after his debut on the debate stage Wednesday night.

With the Nevada caucuses set for Saturday, Warren still does not have any major endorsements from politicians in the Silver State. Bloomberg will not be on the ballot in Nevada.

Joe Biden is the sole Democratic candidate with formal support from a Nevadan. Rep. Steven Horsford, the Democratic member for NV-04, endorsed the former Vice President on February 14. Biden leads the pack with a whopping 49 official backings from members of the House and Senate, along with governors of several states.

Bloomberg picked up three endorsements Thursday following his first debate appearance, stealing Warren’s second place spot. The former New York City mayor has a total of 17 endorsements — 16 from U.S. Representatives and one from Rhode Island’s Democratic governor.

Warren now takes the bronze for endorsements with 14 in total.

Bloomberg’s latest endorsements came from Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer, Pete Aguilar, and Nita Lowey of New Jersey, California, and New York respectively.

Endorsements? With those in hand, Bloomberg will sail to the 1968 nomination.

“Bloomberg will not be on the ballot in Nevada.”

Shouldn't have bothered being in the debate, then.

Try to imagine the scene in Milwaukee if Sanders arrives with a majority of the elected delegates but not enough to secure the nomination on the first ballot. Now enter all the “superdelegates” eligible to vote on the second ballot, Bloomberg is nominated and Sanders loses.

His recent commercial try to trick people into thinking Obama has endorsed him. Great commercial if you want to deceive the voters.

Last nights debate hurt Mikey Mouse in the primaries but it helped him in a General. This did not go unnoticed by the DNC. Unless Bernie has a huge advantage in delegates they will take it from him.

We were told the same thing about Jeb but somehow, we could never find anyone who was actually going to vote for him.

Liawatha was headed out of the race when she couldn’t score in NH, next door to her home state.

Big bucks. Either now big bucks or promise of big bucks later. And if a promise, either an stated promise or an implied promise.

He is sleazy beyond measure, as are those taking his money.

Try to imagine if they nominate Sanders, and basically kick black voters in the teeth.
