Analysis: Michael Bloomberg storms to the center of the 2020 presidential fray.
Sanders has to worry that he could get swamped if the Democratic establishment rallies behind Bloomberg. The rest of the Democratic field has to worry that's exactly what the establishment — worried about Sanders and Trump — is getting ready to do. And Trump has to worry that he'll end up facing off against a more successful capitalist who beat Sanders and proved that the Democratic Party isn't the"socialist" summer camp that Trump likes to portray it as.
But the link-up with city civic leaders could also create a unique political advantage for Bloomberg. Delegates to the Democratic National Convention are awarded based partially on candidates' performance across each state and within congressional districts. Each district has a distinct number of delegates determined by how well that district has performed for Democrats in past elections.
"I think it speaks to a corrupt political system when billionaires can buy elections," Sanders said."You want to run for president? That's fine, but you should not be able to, you know, spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.”
