CNN called it for Joe Biden the second polls closed. Means it's going to be a blowout if they called it right away.

It looks incredibly bad for Bloomberg. I would much prefer him as the alternate to Bernie as opposed to Biden, but the networks are pushing him to drop even before Super Tuesday and use his ads for Biden, because if he doesn’t, then Biden can’t catch Bernie. He almost guarantees Bernie taking a delegate lead into convention. I hope he doesn’t drop. I don’t want any part of Biden, but Bloomberg needs to make some giant leap to be viable, and anything other than that assures Bernie going to convention ahead.Originally Posted by sonatine
Something I learned today. Bloomberg has paid his 2,500 staff through November! So if he drops out after Super Tuesday, he's going to be using his resources to help Biden.
Look at my African Americans over there!
If this margin holds (over 30%), Biden's going to become the delegate leader going in to Super Tuesday.
Biden/Harris 2020?

Fucking Steyer. Spent $200 million, basically lived in S.C., ran on reparations and gets 0 delegates for the effort. See ya later my man.
Wow, that's very disrespectful. Let's honor Steyer dropping out properly by sharing this video

Credit where credit is due.Yeah, I might cover depending on how low he gets. Biden could win by 20 tomorrow pretty easily.

Who would vote for Tom Steyer or Mike Bloomberg for President?
I guess the same people who thought Howard Dean would make a good President?
i really lol @ woody harrelson playing ol' chompers on snl
Biden stomps on Bernie by 28.5 points in SC.
Wow.
Bigger than any projections.
The old senile coot is back alive.
Bernie is going to kill it in the west, but Biden should win big in the southeast.
Placed a longshot bet in Oklahoma on Bloomberg -- one of the few states where he has a chance at the moment.
Looks like a model from Drakes spring collection.
My pro-Bernie spin:
- more votes than in 2016, when he was against just one opponent
- only candidate to be top-2 in every state
- Biden spent 9mil in SC, Bernie 800k
Best case scenario: Bernie crushes CA, strong 2nd place in south. Centrist spoilers stay in until end of March (Bloomberg, Pete). Bernie wins plurality of delegates and somehow the DNC decide not to fuck him
if bernie doesn't enter the convention with the requisite number of delegates to win the nomination, he's absolutely getting fucked.
I think he will have the most pledged delegates. I think you’re probably right he gets fucked. I also think any down ballot concerns that go along with Bernie are also the result in an election where easily half of Bernies base sits out. If Bernie were getting fucked for some great candidate that independents were crazy about, it might not be the case. There isn’t a candidate anyone is enthusiastic about period. It’s which bad choice do we make so I don’t see a win anywhere.
This is a GOP dream scenario unless corona virus continues and economy keeps tanking. If you hate Trump enough to wish that, not saying you do, that’s pretty much the only hope. That’s where we are at. The Dems produced a field so bad that only a plague can save them.
If Bernie has a significant lead, I'm not so sure. They definitely have to factor in all the 'corrupt DNC rigged it' sentiment. 'I told you so! Biden is only in this race because the DNC cheated!' would probably be an effective attack during the General.
i think there are enough people who remember how hillary beat trump in all the polls who are going to think twice about shafting bernie for biden.
conservative texas latino democrats are trending bernie, thats significant.
and the downballot concerns are only concerns right now, i dont see any real actionable data backing them up beyond the obvious pipe dream factor behind debt relief and, to a lesser extent, medical insurance reform.
plus even if the house passed debt relief bills, 1000 times out of 1000 the senate nukes them, and that could translate into a blue wave if bernie presents republican obstruction as the only thing standing between millions of people and freedom of forced indentured fiscal slavery.

This is true, everyone would have to pay more in taxes in order to implement Bernie Sanders socialist programs.
Yes, a lot of wealthy people pay a great deal in taxes, however a lot of them know how to cheat the system and transfer money to overseas tax shelters. The system of taxing businesses is not fair. Why does Home Depot pay 36% in taxes and Amazon 0%?
Right now Biden is leading in the popular vote, and Sanders is leading in the delegate count. Sanders is benefiting from an electoral college like system. What ever happened to respecting the will of the voters?If Bernie has a significant lead, I'm not so sure. They definitely have to factor in all the 'corrupt DNC rigged it' sentiment. 'I told you so! Biden is only in this race because the DNC cheated!' would probably be an effective attack during the General.
