I just saw one here lol
Sanders is going to wax dat ass.
sanders way over performed in NV. Sanders is going to accumulate an insurmountable lead on Tuesday. Just watch. It’s all over already.
Warren, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg need to drop out. They got obliterated in back to back states. It’s over for them. I predict Klobuchar and Buttigieg drop out after Super Tuesday. Warren (Pocahonkey) is a stubborn loser who stay in because her ego is too much.

You cannot be serious about it already being over. Biden had a very impressive SC primary (final narrowed slightly but was still 48% to 20%) The 28% margin was way above the 15% average pre-primary poll. He got nearly 2.5 times the votes Sanders got. This almost definitely has to mean Biden will pick up delegates in southern states vs earlier projections. As it is now, I believe Biden is now only 6 delegates behind!
Bernie did overperform in NV, but SC being more recent and it being a primary rather than a caucus may bode well for Joe’s prospects. I think we have a legit race. Let’s see how it goes Tuesday.
I agree. Bloomberg is competing in all super Tuesday states, that will dilute the Biden vote.
K and Pete dropping out should also help Biden more than Sanders. Hopefully, Warren stays in as that also should hurt Sanders.
Even though Biden will almost certainly lose a good bit of ground to Sanders on Tuesday, the key will be for him to do better than expected and thus keep Sanders’ margin within the sight of Biden. The weeks after will include a good number of states that Biden will have an excellent chance to win. Game on!

Pocahonkey is an annoyance but not really a detriment to Sanders. She doesn’t carry enough support. Bloomberg is the biggie for Biden. He pulls voters directly from Biden. Klobuchar and Buttigieg dropping out will help Biden a little bit they don’t carry much support either.

Mike Bloomberg has purchased three minutes of prime-time TV Sunday to air a taped address on the coronavirus outbreak <just what we need... more of Bloomberg 
let me guess, Orange Man bad?
you know all this money he's spending(primetime TV ain't cheap) could be going to something worthy...

He thinks throwing his name in everyone's face is going to work, when it isn't. I can't even count the times I've seen a political ad and it's been his. I think the number is at 100% of all ads I see are him as of right now because it's on every video you watch, every TV ad session. Every ad I see makes me want him to get out of the race sooner and sooner just so I don't have to see the ads.Mike Bloomberg has purchased three minutes of prime-time TV Sunday to air a taped address on the coronavirus outbreak <just what we need... more of Bloomberg

Polls are pretty much useless at this point when it involves Trump because his support base hangs the phone up. Just ask Hillary Clinton.
Dont get me wrong. I want Sanders to be your nominee because this country was built from the ground up on capitalism and America will not accept socialism of any flavor. If he is the nominee it will serve 2 purposes. His socialist agenda gets rejected front and center on the big stage and the Democrats will lose the only chamber they hold to boot.
How embarrassing would it be if Warren actually loses her home senate state to Sanders? If that’s not enough to drop out with the little bit of dignity you have left I don’t know what is. Same situation in MN with Klobauchar, but she actually has a slight lead there right now.
I don’t think Elizabeth Warren is bleeding votes from Bernie Sanders as much as you think she is. When the race first started yes, but since she’s gone more “moderate” in her campaign she’s sharing more votes with Biden and Pete. If she had of kept running the progressive campaign she started off doing we might have been talking about a front runner Warren instead of a front runner Sanders so if anything she’s likely helping Sanders than she’s hurting him. At this point it doesn’t matter if you’re not Sanders and Biden the race is over. Everyone else is just noise and irrelevant. Bloomberg is hilariously being a spoiler for Biden especially if he performs as well or better than expected. We’ll see in 2 days.

Meh Hillary did the same thing last election and we see how that worked out.....the problem Sanders has is the independents and moderates in the middle will not support him....once he gets in the debates it will be a bloodbath most middle class working Americans dont want to hear the ---- Sanders is going to be saying. Sanders platform is going to be raising taxes and free stuff, and the GOP will crush him with it.....fact is Sanders plan cost to much and there is no way to pay for it.....he can go after the 1% all he wants but America knows who really pays for this stuff time and time again when it is tried and that is the middle class.
That wasn't the case in Nevada, he beat everyone in votes from independents, was neck and neck with Biden for moderates, and beat everyone else with liberals.

The Dems are toast either way. If Bernie wins its a slaughter. White House, House of Reps and Senate all to the GOP. Trump's base will be out in full force and Despite Bernie's legion of minions showing out the rest of the Democrats will stay at home. I dont think they can win the presidency no matter who they put up against Trump but the only way they can put up a fight to save the House is Biden or Bloomberg.
ok, so you think all of the polls are wrong again? I just don’t buy it. The moderates/independents aren’t going to support trump the way they did in 2016. You’re also not factoring in the #bluenomatterwho contingent and the fact Trump is now a know quantity. lastly Clinton was a pathetic candidate. She didn’t have an energized base. sanders has one hell of a strong base.

Trump's support among his base is 95%! That is strong. We have record breaking unemployment across the board and that is important to independents and moderate Democrats. His support among blacks will increase and that is bad news for Democrats. Medicare for all and free college isnt going to get it done.......

Good article from Nate Silver on the Biden win and what it could mean....

What Biden’s Big South Carolina Win Might Mean For Sanders
Saturday was Joe Biden’s first-ever win in a presidential primary or caucus. It was an awfully big one: Biden won South Carolina by nearly 30 percentage points …

I think that if you give the moderates and independents someone like Biden they go for it, I think if you run Sanders then Trump wins the EC again but probably loses the popular vote, it will be closer than 2016....something like this...so places like PA where Sanders is +3 are vulnerable especially when people get a good look at his platform....

I even heard his stupid voice on music radio. Lol Like gtfo
not a bad map but PA goes to Sanders along with the win. I could also see MI going to Trump but I also see OH going to sanders. But that’s still a sanders win. It’s going to be close.
Also if it’s Biden that map is going to be way different. I see Biden destroying Trump. He would take OH, PA, FL. Biden would even put GA in play and make TX close.
I remember during the 2016 primaries, Sanders was supposed to lose MI to Hillary by at least 20+pts, he won by about 3-4pts. Not only that he won WI another state Clinton lost in the general. For someone who's supposedly not electable, he sure was winning a lot of must needed states for a general election. We'll see if he can do the same or better Tuesday night with more of a crowded field.
EDIT: This is some serious haul of small donor fundraiser money.
Sanders raised stout $46.5M in February; Warren got $29M
Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign said Sunday that it raised more than $46.5 million in February, a show of financial strength after the Vermont senator finished a distant second behind Joe Biden in South Carolina's primary. Fellow progressive Elizabeth Warren announced collecting a...

Lolol....Sanders is a lunatic and Biden doesnt know where he is half the time. You are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment in November but best of luck!

Sanders has a smaller lead in PA, right now Sanders is +3 vs Trump in PA.....so is Biden, they are both around +5 over Trump in MI, the difference is as the campaign goes on Sanders will see his support drop among independents and moderates unless he runs way to the middle which he wont. Sanders is going to have to stand up their in every debate and say how he is going to raise taxes on everyone, and have how impossible it will be to pay for his programs exposed. Class warfare does not work in American the middle class knows who ends up footing the bill for these programs Sanders wants....so like in 2016 the Dems will win the popular vote by probably more this time around 5 million votes or so since turnout will be high but with Sanders I think they lose barely...with Biden they have a chance at winning NC, OH, FL etc with Sanders they dont.

You just wrote an entire paragraph on how Sanders will lose support among moderates and independents who will reject his policies and you think the Democrats will win the popular vote by even more? That dont make a lot of sense.....

Why the Dems are going to turnout huge.....but those extra votes in states they already won wont matter to the EC....basically those extra hundred's of thousand's votes in places like CA, NY, and New England etc wont help win the election but will push the popular vote higher....not sure why that does not make sense.

To vote for who? The man with dementia or the socialists bum who has accomplished little to nothing in his life? You must have very little faith in the intelligence of your fellow citizens. Ill admit i dont either when it comes to politics and voting, I just cant see millions of people flocking to the polls to vote for any of the Democrat hopefuls. You are gonna fail on this prediction just like you did on that impeachment hammer falling.
I'm kind of surprised you're not for Biden over Sanders. I know you used to be pretty conservative and I thought you were still pretty moderate. Weren't you for Biden earlier?
Edit: Based on my following him over the last 30+ years, I've for a long time had a good feeling about Biden as being a potential semi-unifier that I feel would help the US (kind of similar to how I feel about Kasich) and something Trump will never be able to do. I do have some concern that he's past his prime and I'm somewhat concerned about the Hunter Biden/Ukraine deal. But I still have good thoughts about Biden.

So........ Trump declared National Emergency January 31st. One month after reports in from China. First reports of COVID 19 reported in late December. Few if any American cases and zero deaths at the time.
www.npr.org
By contrast Obama declared National Emergency late October 2009. SIX MONTHS after first reports of H1N1.
by then...
- "Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention".

yes sir. I left the Republican Party in 2011 when the tea party took over and pushed the party to the right.
I was for Biden and still think he is ok. But I want things to be blown apart. The establishment on the right and left both disgust me. Love him or hate him Bernie will blow it all up. We need a reset.
legalization of marijuana and also sanders has a more right opinion on guns compared to the rest of the dem field. Also healthcare is a disaster don’t underestimate how many people are ok with a complete overhaul.

VA may go red thanks to their gov trying to mess with the guns.
Bloomberg will lose because of his gun rhetoric and of course he will want to ban any soft drink over 32oz?
