This moderate would conditionally back Bloomberg.

With $25 million, he could feasibly win Texas and California on Super Tuesday, which would make him automatically the front runner.

Bloomberg's version of Biden's 2007 "articulate and bright and clean":

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg apologized Friday after calling fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) “well spoken," a phrase which critics have said has racist undertones.

While discussing his 2020 competitors with CBS’s Gayle King in an interview that aired Friday morning, Bloomberg said, “Cory Booker endorsed me a number of times, and I endorsed Cory Booker a number of times. He’s very well spoken, he’s got some good ideas.”

Biden: “You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”
Bloomberg: “We’ve endorsed each other many times; he’s very well spoken; he’s got some good ideas.”

One of these has racial undertones. The other does not.

Well, that, and the Democratic Party as an institution has given up on pretending to have learned anything from #MeToo.

Bloomberg is not a nice guy. But increasingly, I don’t want to vote for a nice guy. I want to vote for someone who, despite being a “big city out of touch (((elitist)))” has far better moral values than Trump or Sanders or anybody of the sort. Something’s just ironic to me that Pete and Michael - the two out of touch people (which yes, is code for gay/Jewish) - are so much smarter/have better morals than “Regular Guys” like Donald or Bernie.
