And now it gets down to a 3 person race Bernie/Biden/Bloomberg

The establishment has made their choice.

Yes indeed.

The establishment was freaking out about the idea of Trump vs Sanders. After South Carolina, that validated the push to consolidate the D moderate ticket.

I think the key tomorrow is Texas.

Surprised she dropped out before Minnesota. But, yes, the name of the game here is to win elections. Bernie terrifies the Ds. And for good fucking reason.

I guess Klobuchar dropping out could be an effort to make sure Biden gets to 15 in California and maybe wins Texas. But she was barely polling in both places. She probably would have won Minnesota. Meh.

But, kudos to the Ds for trying to get their shit together before they pass the point of no return. I have little doubt, at this point, that if no one has the 1991 (or whatever) before Milwaukee, the superdelegates are going to go hard for Biden.

Amy and Pete are both reportedly going to appear at a Biden event tonight in Texas.

If Biden gets the nomination, Trump beat Biden so hard he will think he is taking testimony from Anita Hill.

But yes, Bernie is not an institutionalist (like Warren is). A lot of the consultant class would be out of work if Bernie was president.

Death toll in the Seattle area now at 6. At least another 12 infected. Most of these (but maybe not all) appear connected all to the same nursing home. The hospital says it's buying a local motel to use for patient isolation/recovery (!)

No has come at Bernie. He's polling as high as ever will against PDJT, and it's still super close in key states. The Rs will destroy Bernie. And it will be for cause. It will be just.

Biden is such a known quantity that he's pretty much where he is. Not much floor to him.

One day, many years in the future, when we look at the 10-year or 25-year or 50-year historic performance of the stock markets, this 2-? week period will still be readily identified on any graph no matter how many years on the X-axis.

Given how much a threat to the establishment/consultant class, Bernie is I would think that if they had something really devastating it would have been played by now. You don't let him ascend to the position that he is in now. The Dems are misreading what is powering and exciting their base about Bernie just like the Republicans did in 2016 when Trump was running.

Bernie is the biggest threat to Trump.

Biden is still a very weak candidate. Yeah, he has raised $5 million in the wake of SC victory (and he should be kissing Clyburn (spelling?) ass for giving him such a big win). But his infrastructure just is not there. His campaign bragged about a six figure ad buy (total) in Super Tuesday states. He has not been to them. Very little offices and infrastructure in place certainly not going to be in place in time for Super Tuesday. Will there be enough in place on the 10th?

Dems are doing now, what they should have done about 6 months ago. Put up one solid moderate candidate, get behind them, and go after Trump.

I don't think its too late, but they lost a lot of time and money.

I wonder how long Blooms will continue to give his money away? I wish he'd throw a few g's my way ....

HRC played nice with him because she didn't want to risk offending his voters. All the other Ds played nice with for the same reason -- until the very last debate when it was clear he could actually win.

No one has gone hard after Bernie. The fact that praises Castro is actually NEWS. It shouldn't be. That's be known for ages. The Ds are scared shitless of taking him down because they know they need his voters to beat PDJT. The Ds never punch left with any sort of conviction. I think it's hilarious that you think they would.

The Rs have SOOOOOOO much on him. Fuck man, there's a video of him in Nicaragua praising the Sandinistas and excoriating the US. He is, at bottom, an America-hater. He hates capitalism. He loves socialism And he's made remarks to that effect for 40 years. And we're not even getting into his deluded writings on rape and, lol, pregnacy and all that other shit.

The Rs. Will. Destroy. Him.

[Hannibal]

Right now Bernie is polling the same against Trump as anyone else, just about.

[iam416]

And he hasn't been blitzed, yet.

[Dr. Strangelove]

lol...literally the day after Biden won South Carolina, Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent around a letter promising to subpoena for information regarding Hunter Biden & Burisma. They haven't said shit about this for weeks.
