Bloomberg was the last candidate to enter the race; he had said in March that he was not running, but changed his mind, reportedly because of concerns that Sanders or another progressive would get the nomination. In his speech, the billionaire criticized the democratic socialist.

“Now, I know I’m not the only Jewish candidate running for president,” Bloomberg said. “But I am the only one who doesn’t want to turn America into a kibbutz.”

The Jewish community was divided over Sanders reflecting divisions about Israel.

Plenty of Bernie followers I know believe Israel to be an illegal state and that Zionism is racism. This was generally a show-stopper for many Jews who otherwise might support Democratic Socialism's objectives.

Bernie seems to have gotten in front of this potentially politically fatal position.

Just my observation from Bernieville, CA.
