I’m pretty surprised Bloomberg is surprised. People don’t just vote for presidents willy nilly (trump being an exception). You need to build trust and trust takes time, not money. Biden has built a brand over the last 12 years. Sanders has been in the national spotlight for the past 4. Bloomberg shows up late last year and...wants to make a serious run?

It IS impressive how much ground he has gained. So his message and reach is working. But he never had time on his side and it was a fool’s errand from the beginning. He should’ve started as soon as trump was elected. Things could be very different now.

I feel like one good friend of his could’ve saved him all this trouble (and burned money), had he listened. He either surrounds himself with yes men (oh you want to run that would be so great!) or doesn’t listen to good advice.

As you say Biden (who is Bloomberg's real competition) is too established but if Biden had not run then most of his supporters would likely had moved to Bloomberg who would have had a very good shot.
