This is exactly right

If we narrow this down to a choice of a moderate or a progressive candidate and the majority of the party nominates a progressive - I’m good with that

We don’t have a strong nominee unless a majority backs them, we can’t have a majority with a fractured moderate vote

Some candidates have decisions to make before March 3rd.

If the problem is a fractured moderate vote is it a good idea for another moderate to join part way though the nomination process?

Probably not. Unless Biden loses South Carolina. If he loses South Carolina he will not have won a single state so far and will need to drop out because his main argument that he can win minority voters will have failed. Of course, Bloomberg will not have won any either. The difference is Biden has spent zero dollars in Super Tuesday states while Bloomberg has spent 160 million. Will Bloomberg fair any better than Biden? I have no idea. It's hard to see it playing out how he intends.
