Same. I've been following his spending and it seems as if he's putting a lot into SC/NV, Also with the recent mention of Hillary as VP she did win the popular vote in 2016 after-all and is a familiar face so naturally i can see many of her voters coming-back to vote for Bloomberg.

Its crazy to me how people just look at Bloomberg as the billionaire buying his way in, Instead of a sleeping giant. Think of who else comes along with a Bloomberg administration, yikes.

That's because it is what he is. He's an oligarch trying to buy an election. That's inarguable fact. Bloomberg becoming the nominee would be an absolutely hideous outcome.

If Bloomberg is nominated and wants Hillary Clinton to be his running mate she should be required to sign a pledge promising not to use a home computer for conducting high-level government business.

Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in either NV or SC, he is however spending a ton of $$ on national ads for Super Tuesday and beyond.

Sadly we have people like Joy Behar, a NYC based rich liberal on The View, that are trying to legitimize Bloomberg's buy in for the election.

She likes to do a billionaire purity tests (like we need these) that Bloomberg is a successful billionaire who didn't have his father's support, and earned his wealth, unlike Trump. When asked if she is endorsing Bloomberg, she'll just say some quip like anyone over Trump.

But when she does gives so much positive Bloomberg exposure, she legitimizes Bloomberg's campain and makes other liberals/Democrats who tune in, think Bloomberg is a successful businessman, indirectly that he is a good candidate.

Yeah i know and what i find strange is that yet despite that he's throwing millions at these states, I don't get what the end goal is here.

If Bloomberg is the nominee would you vote for him over Trump?

I really don't think he is really specifically targeting those states. It is likely more of it being a national ad buy that also happens to run ads in those states.
