Letron_James 01/17/20 1:19:25 PM #5:	They are nothing more than a reminder to the rest of the Democratic field that money is the rule of the way, and I have always felt like they both directly got into the race this year because Warren and Sanders both have a legitimate shot to beat Trump. People have said that Bloomberg will take some votes from Biden. This is not true imo, those voters are still going to vote for Biden when push comes to shove because they don't want Sanders/Warren to be the nomination. It's sad because it's quite obvious that Mayor Pete, Bloomberg and Steyer are essentially destroying the party because they still support big cooperations above all else. --- Ask me if I would eat da booty. <cite>Letron_James posted [p:933084044] in Steyer has...
