#3 His post-game speech last night was flatter than Mylie Cyrus.

#4 Half a billion spent and all he got was roasted on national TV....

#6 And he bows out with more delegates than Liewatha and St. Tulsi combined.

#7 Added 1/2 a B$ to the economy.

Unfortunately it mostly went to Communications Majors

#8 I wanted him to stay in to the bitter end and spend LOTS more money. Every cent he spent would lighten the burden of his existence on us all. They must be really scared of Sanders. Sanders and his support freaks scare me.

#9 With SC voting last Saturday and NC yesterday, we are FINALLY free of political ads, at least until the summer. And that is certainly reason to celebrate here.

#10 ...but now the phone calls escalate. See - "research groups".

#11 Would have been fine with his spending another billion or two.

#12 Go ahead and let Mexico Annex California. Californianós gave Bernie 1/4 million more votes than Biden yesterday.

#13 Funny how Steyers and Bloomberg tried to sell themselves as economic geniuses smarter than Trump when their campaigns just burned money and never got any traction. Meanwhile Trump went through the 2016 election with minimal spending.

If only Bloomberg had hired Russians to buy $100,000 in barely literate Facebook ads, instead of spending $700 MILLION, he’d be president now. That’s what the media have told us for 3+ years.

#15 So now they're left with a mentally challenged old white guy ....and Joe Biden.

#16 "$700 million and all I got was this lousy Samoan...not even the good Girl Scout cookie kind!"

#18 I wouldn't mind Bernie as a candidate as I think crushing him in the general would be helpful for the country. having said that I didn't vote for him. The GOP has a closed primary in CA so as a libertarian (less junk mail begging for money) I had to write Trump in on my ballot.
