Signs of a bad night for @MikeBloomberg. Goodnight to his campaing.
He should drop out.

@ewarren should not.
She should persist to the end, for a few reasons:

1) She is no spoiler for either side. Her voters would split relatively evenly Bernie/non-Bernie:

@MikeBloomberg @ewarren 2) She has a message, and it's not the same as @BernieSanders or @JoeBiden.

I voted for Joe, but I'd be sad to have debates with just Bernie on the left and Biden in the middle. As a progressive, I want another progressive voice in those debates, not just the socialist.

@MikeBloomberg @ewarren @BernieSanders @JoeBiden 3) I want her to keep fighting.
If Mike stays in the race, I want her bashing him in every debate. Maybe that will drive him out of the race.

Don't be scared of her criticizing Joe or Bernie. They both deserve criticism and tough questions. She'll keep them sharp.

@MikeBloomberg @ewarren @BernieSanders @JoeBiden 4) If, k'ayin ha'ra, Joe has a mental meltdown or Bernie has a heart attack, I want a back-up to keep running in between them.

I don't want one old guy health crisis to make the other old guy the default nominee.
I want another choice who actually ran all the way.

@MikeBloomberg @ewarren @BernieSanders @JoeBiden 5) If Bloomberg stays in the race, I just
can.
not.
deal.
with a three old white guy debate stage.

She's funny, sharp, smart, with good ideas.

Bottom line from this Joe voter:

Run, @SenWarren, run!

@MikeBloomberg @ewarren @BernieSanders @JoeBiden @SenWarren 6) If you're interested in the poll that shows that Warren is not a spoiler for either side, it's from Feb. 28th, Morning Consult, and shows roughly a split of Warren's voters' 2d choices:
40% Bernie
44% non-Bernie

morningconsult.com/2020-democrati…

Clarification:
Sorry the website graphic was unclear. They listed ties together on the same line.
It shows Warren voters’ second choice as of Feb 28:

16% for Joe,
16% Pete (they’re tied at 16),
12% Amy.

That’s Bernie at 40%, non-Bernie 44% total.
She’s no spoiler.
