I am observing not defending or endorsing here, but part of the reason Bloomberg's getting traction (besides his gazillions of dollars of course) is that he is running aggressive ads against the person the Democratic nominee will be running against in November. There are a lot of people who have been waiting for someone to do that and have gotten impatient with the endless rounds of intramural sniping over whose healthcare plan is best or who's a neoliberal or whatever.Sounds like Mayor Pete got the memo, too.
Other Democratic candidates looking to break through would do well to take note. I have seen several Bernie ads in just the last few days aimed directly at Trump, which is probably a Bloomberg effect.
