because Biden won in those states when he did not have money shows it is not an exact match - the more money spent, the more votes you get. It's kind of insulting to the voters - telling us we respond only to $$ spent on the campaign. Bloomberg did manage to get some interest by just spending money and had some temporary success in the polls - I remember that week when the pundits were all Bloomberg all the time. But in the end, do we vote for someone because of the $$ spent or the pundits? Not an exact match. Bernie assumes the billionaires have a say in proportion to their money spent on campaigns and that every congressperson votes according to the interests of whoever gave the most money.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
