Bloomberg in the race has people scratching their heads, but I think there’s something strategic under the surface that will benefit the Democratic Party in the end.

Bloomberg, a known independent, helps appeal to that demo and fight for some of Bernie’s votes.
Not everyone who supports Bernie is a bro. Many are independents that don’t file as Dems. We need them to win and start appealing to them now. /2

Bloomberg has a known relationship with mayors all over the country from his Mayor’s Challenge, setting up local outreach.
I’m not surprised mayors are securing money for their cities, while throwing an endorsement that probably won’t sway voters. /3 https://www.bloomberg.org/program/government-innovation/mayors-challenge/

Bloomberg is not going to be able to move black voters from Biden if Kamala couldn’t. They haven’t budged all year.
Black voters aren’t moving in mass from Biden. I repeat, black voters are not going to move. /4

Bloomberg came in & bought up all the airtime, which allowed for him to SHUT DOWN the populist twins AND focus the message back on beating Trump.
This election shouldn’t be about anything else. There are ads playing 24-7 blasting Trump. Not waiting until we get a nominee. /5

This election isn’t about millionaires and billionaires, stupid mugs and villainizing people. The only villain we need to worry about in this very moment is Trump. PERIOD.
The Democratic Party needs to FOCUS. Plus the DNC is broke. /6 https://www.msnbc.com/stephanie-ruhle/watch/bloomberg-to-keep-funding-campaign-to-defeat-trump-even-if-he-s-not-the-nominee-76416581514

Why didn’t Bloomberg just throw his money behind a candidate?
Because that said candidate would’ve been deemed bought by a billionaire. Look at Pete and his connects to Mark Zuckerberg for how that turned out. /7

Now don’t get me wrong, would Bloomberg want to be president. Probably. But he isn’t dumb & can do the delegate math. It is a gamble, but I actually think it’s a safer bet than we think.
Watch his moves around Super Tuesday and that will be the biggest signal. /8

Just my two cents. And I also haven’t forgotten how his campaign staffer treated Kamala. My memory is long, and I expect to see Bloomberg throw some money and support her way when she needs it. /END
