Nominating Bernie seems like a bet the House move. As in literally. This is the only possible scenario for the GOP taking back the House. I think there is a chance Bernie will win, but on the whole the odds favor a second Trump term. I know the Democrats don't care about nominating the kind of person a Republican could vote for, but Bernie is almost the candidate to make me say "screw it" and vote Trump. Almost.
We are a decadent and unserious people and it seems we are getting the candidates we deserve.

So far, most of the Democrats who have voted have voted for someone who is not Bernie. If Bernie has the political chops that Trump showed, he will consolidate support and rally the party around him, and if can pull that off then perceptions of him will change. I don't think he's that kind of politician, and I'm not planning to vote for him when I get the chance next month.
A plausible interpretation of Bloomberg's rise is that many Democrats do care about nominating the kind of person a Republican could vote for, since they are supporting a former-/quasi-Republican.
