Bad news, Bernie. Really bad news.
When billionaire Mike Bloomberg joined the Democrat debate stage two weeks ago in Nevada, a brooding Bernie Sanders looked ready to pounce on him screaming, “Capitalist reptile!” The old codger glanced, grimaced, growled at the former New York mayor to his right.
“I think … Mike Bloomberg and anybody else has every right in the world to run for president of the United States,” said a visibly agitated Sanders. “But I got a real problem with multibillionaires literally buying elections.”
It frosted Bernie to share the debate stage with Manhattan Mike, who indeed effectively bought himself a spot on that stage. Some $500 million later, without winning a single state, Bloomberg pulled out of the race the day after Super Tuesday. Bernie Sanders will rue the day.
Take a close look at the state-by-state voting on Super Tuesday and the national polls over the last several weeks as Bloomberg gained some traction. What they showed, particularly before Super Tuesday, is that Bloomberg — though he had little chance of winning the party’s nomination — was taking precious votes directly out of the column of Joe Biden, Bernie’s chief competitor. The non-Bernie vote, the non-socialist vote, the non-moonbat vote, the “moderate” Democrat vote, was going to Bloomberg and Biden. Fairly consistently, that constituted a roughly 30-to-40-percent voting bloc that in many cases split between Biden and Bloomberg. As long as that dynamic continued, Bernie could keep winning states with a mere 25 to 30 percent of the vote.
