[A major finding of the poll was that even though Bloomberg jumped into the race to stop Sanders, he’s actually siphoning 7% support from Biden, and helping Sanders.]

I don’t understand why anyone takes what anyone says at face value, especially when the prize is the presidency. Bloomberg isn’t spending billions of his own money to stop anyone. He’s doing it for a shot at the presidency.

I think the author is of the opinion that Bloomberg can’t win the nomination outright, so he will need to secure the nomination at a brokered convention — and “stopping Sanders” is almost certainly necessary for him to do that.

Mike Bumbleberg is not going to have the CHANCE to take a real shot at President Trump. Mike may be reduced to the role of bankrolling various state government offices around the nation and placing his own “fifth column” of subversive lawyers in positions in the various state administrations and legislatures, to pass his agenda (mostly anti-Second Amendment) in purple states and to attempt to convert red to at least purple.

Mike’s means, motives and potential opportunities are not entirely hidden, but there has to be a continuous hammering and throwing of light in dark corners to keep the threat at least manageable.

Termites and cockroaches are a bear to control once they get established.
