Biden didn't bomb so all the other centrists have no path as donors pull out their money from the field.
They're slowly realizing they need to rally their support and money around Biden.

The only one still spoiling the show is Bloomberg. He's just literally setting money on fire at this point.
But who knows, he might've brainwashed enough people to vote for him. Still, he should've went after Biden, not Bernie.
I think Bloomberg and Bernie will cancel each other out and Biden will be the laughing third.

Warren will hang on as long as possible to secure the VP slot which she won't get.

Amazingly he couldn't outdo Trump at the minimum when it came attracting black voters. Local that is, disregarding his commanding black support in Nigeria and the Netherlands.

Does the Mayo Pete campaign even have the money to do this?

The answer: No, Mayo Pete did not have the money to do this.

They're usually serious about that shit. Back when Hilldawg was running in '16 I read countless articles about the genius PR firms behind the #viral campaigns.
They looked down on the Trump rag tag band of trolls and has beens flooding the air waves with poorly produced Goldman Sachs snuff films and internet memes.
In fact, the argument was that Trump had no real campaign or message while children were backing cakes with the iconic Hillary logo.

Same as they looked down on Bernie and his campaign opening up to actual grassroots support and campaigning.
Bernie obviously lost because he didn't hire the experts to deliver his message.

I don't disagree. But once you notice it, it's like ":jeanluc " for every terrible hot-take in politics. Every "verified" Twitter account has some truly terrible hottake that they think is right and then circle the wagons about "russian bots, berniebros, etc." when called out on it.

No love lost for Pete but I doubt you would have found it honorable if he dropped after the next round of primaries and extracted some more funding disingenuously till then.

I think one thing is clear - Super Tuesday will be a real test of whether an underdog campaign can take a South Carolina upset and emerge victorious against the most successful fundraiser in Democratic history. Can people power beat money in politics?

Even if Bernie busts, the implication of moving that money , and email list over to Our Revolution is exciting

The boss told him to drop out
Yes, yes, Nintex, we have video of it:

Quote
He said that other candidates including "Pete and Amy and Tom Steyer and others" should drop out before Super Tuesday to give Biden a better shot at beating Bernie Sanders.

"I’m hoping, tomorrow actually, some of the candidates decide to get out. If you do not have a pathway, let’s not wait until Super Tuesday,"

It’s just that Klob and Warren have yet to drop out, who I’d say are both in worse positions than him. If Biden’s victory had not been so resounding, than I doubt he’d dropped out. To me, it seems as though he’s banking on Biden winning and potentially securing a spot in his cabinet.

I don't know, maybe ? I would imagine a lack of funding or his absolutely abysmal appeal to black and minority voters would be more likely causes.

Plus the guy went from being the unknown mayor of a city of 100.000 to (inter)national recognition, it's already a major coup for him and probably as far as he could expect to rise this cycle.
