The great fear for establishment Democrats right now is that hes *not* starting to collapse, merely beginning to fade. Dem leaders can tolerate Mike Bloomberg beating Bernie for the nomination; they can also tolerate Mike Bloomberg quickly imploding, clearing a path for Biden to win on Saturday and emerge as the great centrist hope against Sanders next week on Super Tuesday.
What they cant tolerate is a zombie Bloomberg candidacy, one where Bloomy pulls enough votes away from Biden to hold Joe down but not enough to threaten Sanders himself. More than anything else, they need to resolve the so-called muddle in the middle immediately. And since Bloombergs debate performance last night was neither great nor terrible, its unlikely theyll get that.

He brings the excitement of a piece of Melba toast.
If DNC steals this from Bern it will be epic..... Make 1968 convention look like a church service.
Just hope Milwaukee residents and business owners have good insurance! Antifa and Bernie bots will run amok.

I keep thinking they will play the old "You are an independent, not a Democrat" card on him and pull all support.
Seriously, did anyone notice that Joe can't formulate a complete sentence or enunciate a clear thought?
Bernie might win a huge chuck of delegates because of the 15% viability rules. If all the other candidates get under 15% then Bernie would conceivably be a de-facto winner take all.
Bloomie hasn’t actually been on a ballot/caucus yet IIRC. And he’s not in S. Carolina either.
I’m interested to see how many votes he actually gets on SuperDay.

The Great White Rich Midget is on his way down.
Hundreds of millions wont save him.
Let's replace him with another oudmouth old white NYC Republican billionaire who bought his way into office and is so entitled that has no clue how to speak diplomatically or deal with differing opinions."
It must be so easy to be a Liberal. LOL
If Democrats themselves cannot defeat a near octogenarian communist in their own ranks, they have a problem.

Popcorn, need much popcorn
Cut the guy some slack. He’s clearly grieving for the half of the US population who’ve died from gun violence. /s
