Bloomberg in the race has people scratching their heads, but I think thereu2019s 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 Bernieu2019s votes.
Not everyone who supports Bernie is a bro. Many are independents that donu2019t 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 Mayoru2019s Challenge, setting up local outreach.
Iu2019m not surprised mayors are securing money for their cities, while throwing an endorsement that probably wonu2019t sway voters. /3 https://www.bloomberg.org/program/government-innovation/mayors-challenge/">https://www.bloomberg.org/program/g...

Bloomberg is not going to be able to move black voters from Biden if Kamala couldnu2019t. They havenu2019t budged all year.
Black voters arenu2019t 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 shouldnu2019t be about anything else. There are ads playing 24-7 blasting Trump. Not waiting until we get a nominee. /5

This election isnu2019t 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">https://www.msnbc.com/stephanie...

Why didnu2019t Bloomberg just throw his money behind a candidate?
Because that said candidate wouldu2019ve been deemed bought by a billionaire. Look at Pete and his connects to Mark Zuckerberg for how that turned out. /7

Now donu2019t get me wrong, would Bloomberg want to be president. Probably. But he isnu2019t dumb & can do the delegate math. It is a gamble, but I actually think itu2019s 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 havenu2019t 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
