Related: About this forumWill Bloomberg Pledge to Support the Eventual Democratic Nominee?
By Harold Meyerson
Michael Bloomberg entered the Democratic presidential race in good measure because he feared Joe Biden might continue to falter, thereby making it more possible that either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would win the nomination.
Which raises a question that Bloomberg should be made to answer: Is he willing to support the eventual Democratic nominee, whoever it may be? I have no doubt that Sanders and Warren will support a more centrist Democrat, a Biden or a Buttigieg, if theyre selected to run against Trump. But would Bloomberg support Sanders or Warren if thats who the Democrats end up nominating? And if notif hes not willing to pledge hell abide by the results of the processwhy should Democrats even consider him a Democrat, much less a candidate for the partys nomination?
Youd think this would be the first question the media would ask Bloomberg. Its the lowest possible bar a presidential candidate should have to clear. So how about it, fellow scribes? Lets ask Mike.

Remember, he's already spent over $100 million on his campaign, he hasn't said a single negative word against his fellow Democratic candidates.
