Astonishing thing to me is the states where bernie dominated Hillary in 2016, he’s losing to Biden four years later. You’d think they’d be shoo ins for bernie

Bernie seems temperamentally unsuited to building coalitions with people outside his core group. He might have done well with a big field of opponents that didnt coalesce AND winner-take-all.

He should had offered Warren the VP nod. That’s probably the only thing that will help him now

Bernie just needs to wait for Biden to make more gaffes. Eventually Biden will do dumb ****.

I wouldn't offer Warren a VP nod but offer a truce alliance between the 2, where they don't attack each other and focus down on Bloomberg and Biden to push a liberal agenda.

Bernies done. He had 60% of the Minnesota vote against Hillary in 16 and he lost Minnesota tonight to a guy who didn’t even have a campaign office there.




People still pick Biden with all his gaffes over Bernie. That should tell you something

You do realize that's almost certainly because Klobuchar dropped out yesterday. She was dominating that state in polling because it's her state. When she dropped out a lot of people who were voting for her went for the Candidate she endorsed. It was a tactically brilliant move by Biden. And Klobuchar is likely to be rewarded with Sec State or another cushy cabinet position coming her way if Biden manages to win.
 
A shocking Super Tuesday shift to Biden. Can we say that the Dems aren't as left-leaning as people thought?

How about VP?
 
3 days ago nobody saw this coming. Pretty brilliant move by somebody not named Biden, because I don't think for a minute this was his idea. Who would have the clout to talk Klobuchar and Mayor Pete to drop out before Super Tuesday?

IMPORTANT #SuperTuesday takeaway that is flying under the radar —

every state with exit poll results shows majority support for replacing

private insurance, it’s winning by huge margins in a few — is it time to

ask ourselves if #Medicare4All is actually a winning position?

The Maine and Massachusetts results are the tell.

Additional measures to expand health insurance will happen under President Biden. He actually has a chance of implementing what he is campaigning on.

Not really. Biden consolidated votes from Klobuchar and Buttigieg who dropped out the day before and endorsed him and stole votes from Bloomberg. If Warren dropped out and endorses Bernie, Bernie crushes in Mass and Maine. What's telling is that Biden consolidated the right side of the Party. Bloomberg is toast. He can thank Warren and others for ruining him. Now that BLoomberg isn't a threat I don't think Bernie will even pay attention to him and will focus down on Biden. Biden's worst case scenario is for the field to thin even more. If Warren drops out adn endorses Bernie, and if Bloomberg drops out, BIden isn't better off. He and the DNC made a great power move to restore the lead to their chosen candidate. It was smart because Bernie didn't have time to recruit Klobuchar and Buttigieg voters. Bernie and Warren basically got the results around where they polled going into the weekend.

If you think this was a a serious tell as opposed other than the tale that nobody is voting for Bloomberg even though his whole strategy was playing SUper TUesday, you're reading this wrong.
