(7,615 posts)Maybe you don't care about that but many do. She specifically prefaced her question that way.
This was to gauge what people think will happen ,not what they want to happen. The two may not necessarily match.

(67,782 posts)I think when this heats up in a couple of weeks Bloomberg is going to take off all over the country. Democrats like the idea that he doesn't back down from trump, but hits him right back. Remember what trump says, "if they hit me, I hit back 10 times harder". Well, Bloomberg has the personality and the money to hit HIM back 10 times harder.

(146,248 posts)If you live in a Super Tuesday state, you've been seeing his campaign ads almost nonstop during TV news hours for about a month. He paid zero attention to the early primaries, but got the jump on everyone for Super Tuesday. By the time the rest of the candidates begin advertising in those states, early voters will already have voted.
Anyone who doesn't think that Bloomberg is going to be a big factor is wrong. On March 4, everyone is going to understand that he will play large at the convention, from a third or even second place in total delegates. He probably won't be the nominee, but he's going to play a role in who that nominee ends up being.
Just watch. I'm still voting for Biden on March 3 in Minnesota. But, I'm watching Bloomberg very closely as primary election returns start coming on that night.

(146,248 posts)And he has many, many ads to avoid people becoming bored with them. They hit all the right notes for moderate Democrats, who are actually the most numerous in most Super Tuesday states. The other candidates need to take notice of his efforts in those states. They're way, way behind in those states with their campaign efforts.
