Michael Bloomberg
Amy B. Wang and Michael Scherer, “Mike Bloomberg is suspending his presidential campaign, says he’s endorsing Biden,” Washington Post, March 4, 2020, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mike-bloomberg-drops-out-of-presidential-race/2020/03/04/62eaa54a-5743-11ea-9000-f3cffee23036_story.html
Elizabeth Warren
Elizabeth Warren might endorse Bernie Sanders after all. Or she might stay in the race. Or she still[1] might endorse Joe Biden.[2] Yeah, the Washington Post really did a story that really just boils down to nobody knows what the fuck she’s going to do.

Joe Biden
I think Pat the Berner🌹 has a point:
Whether you like her or hate her, Hillary Clinton had 100 times more enthusiasm than Joe Biden does.
There is no chance in hell Biden could defeat Donald Trump. People under 50 can’t stand him and they’re the people you need on the ground doing the work.#IDoNotLikeJoeBiden

I’ll not be voting for Joe Biden under any circumstances and you can do with that information what you like. Bernie was already my compromise. #BernieOrBust2020

Okay, maybe three years:
90% of Berners went and voted for Hillary in 2016. AND YOU ALL SPENT 5 YEARS TRASHING THEM.
I don't think they'll make the same mistake and vote for Joe Biden this time around.
Bernie IS already the compromise candidate.

Biden voted for the Iraq War
Bernie vociferously advocated against itBiden voted to reduce increases in Social Security
Bernie consistently calls for increasing benefitsBiden voted for every rotten trade deal of the 90s
Bernie opposed themThe two couldn't be more different.

Joe Biden voted for the bankruptcy bill (BAPCPA) putting millions of families drowning in debt right in the eye of the storm.
He did that.

Super Tuesday
When I looked this evening, Joe Biden had taken Maine away from Elizabeth Warren and had won 512 delegates from Super Tuesday balloting. Bernie Sanders had won 441, Michael Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren had each won 53, and Tulsi Gabbard still had only won one. 284 remain to be awarded.[3] Michael Bloomberg is now out,[4] Elizabeth Warren might be headed out, and apparently, Tulsi Gabbard just no longer matters.[5]
