Bloomberg's presence in the race has raised concerns that a four-way fight for the moderate vote will mean no centrist alternative emerges to Sanders, leading to a long slog to the nomination that leaves Democrats with little time to unify before taking on President Trump in November.
"At the moment, they're cannibalizing each other," Democratic strategist Jon Reinish said. "You have no one who can really emerge while they're all taking votes from each other."
The splintering of the moderate vote is diluting the impact of centrist Democrats.

Democratic moderates will also have to contend with as ascendant Bloomberg, who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in an advertising blitz.
"Given this sort of three-way cannibalization that's going on at the moment, that's making a lot of people very nervous and increasingly folks are looking around the room, and eyes are lighting on Mike Bloomberg," Reinish said.
The splintered moderate votes could lead to Sanders reaping the benefits, after poor showings by Warren in Iowa and New Hampshire have made him the progressive candidate standard bearer.

Moderate Dems = Marxists
Liberal Dems = Stalinists
There are no moderates running.
No, it’s not fake news.The candidates they are talking about are the democrat version of moderates. If you can’t adjust To the realities of the primary process you probably need to just hold your tongue until after the conventions.
They’re all commies in my book but whatever it takes to sow dissension in the ranks and sabotage their run for the presidency and other offices then it’s a good thing.

Yes, that’s it!
Moderate vote, centrist alternative? I don’t think so.
Got a buddy at work who was a major ‘Bernie Bro’ last election.
He hates Hillary Clinton more than anyone I’ve met.
Democrats like him, however misguided, have not forgotten and will never vote for any ticket with a Clinton on it.
Without proof, Democrats say Trump is an old white, rich man who is a racist and denigrates women.
Bloomberg is all of that with evidence.
I’ve heard the word “moderate” more in this election cycle than I have in quite some time. Which is ironic because the actual platforms of the DEM candidates for POTUS are the most left-leaning we’ve had ever.
There are NO moderate ‘Rat pols.
Just better liars.
This is the “moderates” narrative. Pure fake news.
Love articles like this. Doom and gloom for the Dems. Make them stay at home on election day.
I thought Sam Nunn retired and Scoop Jackson was dead. Those are the last moderate democrats I can recall.
There are no moderates in the RAT party. They are all loons.
Who are these people they claim are moderates? Moderate extremists, maybe. Not a sound sensible bone in their bodies.
Moderate? Where???
It’s like being pregnant....either you are or you’re not.
Either you’re a communist, or you’re not...no “in between”.
The “moderate democrat” went via of the dodoo bird a long time ago.
They’re all loons, liars, adhere to communism and worship at the altar of the abortion god, Molech. They hate America (except her money), they, hate God, they hate freedom, they hate the Constitution and most of all, they hate us. The SOBs would kill us all in a heartbeat IF they thought they could get away with it.
They’re AINOs...American in name only. Inside, they are vile evil devil worshippers.
Calls to memory the Russian Revolution and the “Democratic” Workers party led by Lenin. The party split into two factions...Those that agreed with Lenin who wanted a wholesale revolution and rule by force by him, on behalf of the proletariat...the Bolshieviks ..and those who wanted to bring about Marxism more slowly with a step-by-step approach...the Menshieviks.
The Democrat party of today is going through the very same split.
