Do we know yet who is going to be in the next debate? Is Bloomberg?

I believe it is next Wed night?

Question for supporters of the "moderates"

I'm very concerned that we are doing what the Republicans did to themselves in 2016 giving the nomination to Trump. Rubio, Kasich, Christie, Jeb etc split the moderate vote so Trump won the primary with a smaller minority of Republican votes.

Are we setting ourselves up for the same result, handing the nomination to Sanders with an even smaller vote margin?
Any idea what the answer to this is? Is there any?

I feel like as a Mayor Pete fan I should be happy and celebrating after his amazing performance in Iowa and NH, but I'm just feeling depressed.

Mayors come to Buttigieg's defense over Biden ad

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/482183-mayors-come-to-buttigiegs-defense-over-biden-ad

Several mayors across the nation came to Pete Buttigieg’s defense after former Vice President Joe Biden released a critical ad saying the former South Bend, Ind., mayor was too inexperienced to be elected president.
The mayors pounced both on the ad and a comment from Rob Flaherty, the digital director of Biden’s presidential campaign, saying that the ad had more views than the population of South Bend.
“This is disrespectful to those of us who deal with the issues facing our communities EVERY DAY....while we get no movement from the Capitol in DC,” tweeted Dayton, Ohio Mayor Nan Whaley, a Buttigieg backer.

“I never had an interest in being a mayor ’cause that’s a real job. You have to produce. That’s why I was able to be a senator for 36 years.” —March 29, 2012
