Some say it is Warren who is costing Bernie Sanders the most political damage by staying in. She represents the softer position on socialism. Not by screaming for revolution into the microphone.

No doubt Donald Trump is having great fun with it.

Bloomberg has never made any secret of how much he loathes Trump. He warned Democrats in the 2016 primary of how horrible he would be as president. And he never showed any sign of looking to be president until very late in the game, when it looked like Sanders and Warren were running neck and neck while Biden was collapsing.
