Pretty confident he's got alzheimers setting in.

Forgetfulness is a normal consequence of aging. No reason to be at all confident Biden has Alzheimer's. The feebleness and confusion he sometimes exhibits during periods of high stress are not unusual for someone closing in on eighty. Of course, this doesn’t mean he has the necessary vigor to properly run for president or to be able to competently govern if elected.
I think it's 50-50 on whether Bernie gets the nomination. It will either be Bernie with a plurality of delegates or a brokered convention that goes to Bloomberg. Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer simply aren't viable candidates. South Carolina seems to be giving Biden a nod for being Obama's VP, but otherwise, Biden really just needs to retire. No disrespect, but he's baked at this point.
Buttigieg, Warren or Klobuchar could end up being added to the ticket as VP.
I'm guessing Bloomberg already has some kind of deal with the DNC. To enter the race this late and spend this much of his own money, he'd have to have a backroom deal with the DNC and super delegates. It may be one reason why Buttigieg and Biden won't attack him.

This is interesting. Bernie's campaign has said they won't accept Bloomberg's help.

smearing Sanders for opposing the Contras is a ****ing stupid take. There is no grey area on this.
You may not like it or agree with it, but you ought to be aware of what the Republicans and Fox crowd thought of last night's debate...
So, that makes supporting the Sandinistas good?
They are thinking racist opinions and hypocrisy on sentence fragments?

Sick sick broad. I've been trying to explain how awful this is to you guys for a while and I'm glad more than 200 Natives now are coming out to call out hers(and others) lack of cultural respect. It's flat out sick and wrong and sadly none of you understand.
Dubious” claims to Native American ancestry have haunted tribes for decades and, the Los Angeles Times reports, “more than $800 million in government contracts reserved for minorities instead went to companies set up by members of groups with dubious claims to being Cherokee and Creek Indian tribes.”
"Your history of false claims to American Indian identity and the defense of these claims with a highly publicized DNA test continue to dog your political career,” the group writes. “For Native Americans, this moment is more than an annoyance; it represents the most public debate about our identity in a generation. In a country where Indigenous people are mostly invisible, what Americans conclude from this debate will impact Native rights for years to come.”
They then go on to accuse Warren of normalizing the process of “stealing” Native American ancestry to gain some form of notoriety or access to benefits reserved for Native Americans — reserved as a form of restitution for the history of mistreatment at the hands of the United States government.
