He will still be a major force as that contest hits the 14 states that hold Super Tuesday primary contests on March 3. Bloomberg has built an army of over 700 employees in 33 states, plus 300 more working in his Manhattan headquarters, according to a statement from the campaign. He is also blitzing the country with television and digital advertisements.

Just over a week ago the Bloomberg campaign said it had 800 total staff members.

According to a Reuters analysis of federal campaign finance filings through the third quarter of 2019, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren had about 600 campaign workers; U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders had 550; and ex-Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg had about 450 each.

On Saturday, Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, told Reuters he was ready to spend much of his fortune, estimated by the publication Forbes to be nearly $60 billion, to oust Trump from the White House in November 2020.

that's a feature, not a bug

most people need the debates to increase their name recognition and make fundraising pitches

Bloomberg can just spend a couple billion instead of leaving himself open to attacks

He should run as an Independent and steal support from whoever the nominee is.
His policies will draw more republicans than they will democrats.
