I knew the basics about him, but hadn't heard him speak before. The voice is notable at first but the words are pretty good and clear.
He'll win supporters, initially and as folks drop out. He'll have firm opponents.
It just gets tougher and tougher to see anyone breaking above 25-30% voting support at least thru Super Tuesday. Maybe it gets clearer after that. But more likely not I'd guess.
Patrick and Bloomberg do nothing for me. I’m 100% all in on Buttigieg (the first time I’ve ever been excited about a candidate and wanted to volunteer and donate to the campaign). I don’t see anything changing this. I spend hours watching Pete interviews on YouTube because he fills me with hope. I’ve even gotten my husband on board with Pete
Bloomber isn't going to draw enough support to really hurt anyone.
Patrick might take a little from each, he tends to fill the lane between Biden and Bernie, however his impact is going to be minimal due to how late he is getting in.
The final answer will be 'their own egos.' The race will be decided in swing states that have large rural components and the presence of a lot of working class voters. How are the party hopping, Wall Street connected, billionare Mayor of NYC and the former Governor of bright blue Massachusetts going to draw those voters? It should also be noted Patrick had to hand the keys to the Governor's Mansion to a Republican. And after 3 terms of Bloomberg, NYC went near Socialist. Neither moved the needle in their own fiefdom.

Patrick sure got big hands up multiple times.
How does he hurt Buttigieg? Patrick seems like he has a very different profile than that of Buttigieg. Unless you mean just a new entrant hurts a competitor (or any of them) obtain at least 15% in a contest, just by the number of entrants.
They have similar rhetoric (to my ear), appealing for decency / unity / compromise. Both probably will get more older voters than younger voters though they are trying for younger voters.
