Your twitter post against the Politico article that I linked above. Politico is saying that Bernie is targeting Warren, which strategically makes perfect sense.
If Sanders has made this strategic decision, then it will become apparent in more than just this one way. And if he has not made this decision, then what is he thinking? If he can consolidate the vote on the left, he has a chance to win, if he splits it with Warren from now to the convention, then he very certainly will not win the nomination.

There was more than that in the tweet I linked to (it was a conversation).
I will repeat my question that you ignored. Does Politico have any evidence that such a "script" exists?
It is basic journalistic ethics to reveal all sources, and if you can't, emphasize that your protecting an anonymous source. In dereliction of their duty, Politico failed to do both of these things, which puts into question the validity of their report. It is also irresponsible to spread around articles that fall short of abiding by this standard & practice.
Judge Judy has endorsed Mayor Bloomberg and is out on the stump helping him to campaign in Texas.
Some of you may laugh, but this is almost an Oprah quality "get". Really smart. Judge Judy has some reach and her endorsement will carry some weight. One or two more clever endorsements by people of this sort and Bloomberg's campaign could launch into a state of real contention.
The jury is in – Judy Sheindlin a.k.a. Judge Judy, has endorsed billionaire Michael Bloomberg for president. The television star is even going on the campaign trail with him to plead his case to voters. The two campaigned together in Texas Saturday.
Sheindlin, like Bloomberg, is 77 years old and a New Yorker. She references Bloomberg’s tenure as Mayor of New York City as proof of his skills – he’s “innovative,” “courageous” and “beholden to no one.” Most of all, she was searching for greatness in the Democrat primary and wasn’t finding it with the other candidates.

A filthy stinking rich New Yorker endorsing another filthy stinking rich New Yorker out of fear of their money getting taxed away?

When questioned about the logic behind her endorsement of Michael Bloomberg by Chris Cuomo on CNN (he's #1, not #2), she gave the most absurd answer that (for an accomplished and highly educated legal professional) made no sense what so ever.

It's kind of backwards but Warren staying in the race long enough can help Bernie, if she pulls from Biden and Buttigieg more, than what she pulls from Bernie. She has an intersection of voters with Bernie, but also with Biden/Buttigieg with college educated women voters. She pivoted again and recently become less of a Medicare for All purist, where priority in her first 100 days would be keeping Obacamare active and adding a public option.

The ironic part is Bloomberg might hurt the moderate candidates the most.
His ads are generally just anti-Trump. A lot of Trump footage of him speaking on ending protections of pre-existing conditions of Obamacare. That might be good advertising for all the Democrat candidates.
I think Klobuchar might have the most challenges in the next few weeks. With the Senate Trial and she already in a vulnerable position likely not able to campaign against her Midwest nemesis, Buttigieg. I don't think she can attract the needed momentum for Iowa and NH.
Looking at Bennett also in the race and two have similar enough moderate Democrat Senator backgrounds. Maybe it would have helped slightly if she had his endorsement and maybe from other peer moderate Democrat Senators.

Elizabeth Warren is responding as if she thinks this is happening:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she was “disappointed” to hear that her presidential primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was reportedly urging his campaign volunteers to “trash” her and warned against the “factionalism” she said impacted the 2016 election. "I was disappointed to hear that Bernie is sending his volunteers out to trash me,” Warren said Sunday, speaking to reporters in Iowa.
“Democrats need to unite our party, and that means pulling in all parts of the Democratic coalition,” she said. "I hope Bernie reconsiders and turns his campaign in a different direction,” the senator added.
A spokesperson for the Sanders said the campaign does not have a response to Warren’s comments.

They will be facing off at a debate Tuesday in Des Moines. What are the chances that this comes up as a topic for discussion during the debate?
Yikes! That is a dreadful ticket. A female, warmongering neocon globalist and a black neurosurgeon who is half-asleep? Gotta give you credit for at least trying to check off all of the diversity boxes, though.
Or as others without bias, see the cup as half full ... A political executive (Governor) who managed a state and became a well respected international American advocate and remains an unapologetic patriot, and socially astute, human loving/caring cabinet member who is a, world renown and respected neurosurgeon.
See how that plays out when facts are part of the equation?
