**OFFICIAL SUPER TUESDAY THREAD***

I just voted for Biden in Texas.

OP, you just voted for Sanders.

Not the first thread...

Don't forget AMERICAN SAMOA.

They're going to support our Polynesian Queen Tulsi Gabbard, then she'll be the first woman of color and female combat vet to receive delegates to a convention (♥♥♥) and DNC cronies' heads will EXPLODE. They'll want to kick AmSam out of the nation. <3

I'm fine with this being the official thread. It has "OFFICIAL" in the title after all.

R5 you seem like the type who like to be walked over. Be assertive!

For what he's likely paid, Kornacki could afford to dress so much better!

There are no other democratic candidates to drop out to give Biden a boost, so he really should be able to win with all the help he's gotten.

Eh, I don't really care either way, R6. I'm not one to seek the spotlight.

Squee! So exciting!

Get ready for a long night, friends

I worked as an election judge in my precinct. Pretty good turnout in a deep blue part of a very blue city.

[quote]There are no other democratic candidates to drop out to give Biden a boost

Bloomberg?

Is this the RIGHT thread, for Pete's sake??? I get so tired of this!

Will Poll Troll be joining us? Speaking of polls , from the Hill: "Former Vice President Joe Biden surged to the top of the 2020 Democratic presidential field after former candidates Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) ended their campaigns, a poll released on Tuesday found."

DL wouldn't let me post the link to the story.

[quote] I just voted for Elizabeth Warren in California

You're an idiot. What a way to waste a vote.

And R2 is right. You just helped Comrade Sanders.

T4 Tulsi is NOT Polynesian.

Voters say LA’s fancy new voting machines aren’t working

I'm not going to follow two separate threads. THIS is the thread.

THANK YOU, R18! Now, I can get comfortable...

And, like Joan says;

Yes she IS Polynesian you goon R16!

Tulsi Putin is Polynesian, but she's not Hawaiian.

She's Samoan.

It will be a late night. California polls close at 11:00 ET.

Isn't that a girl scout cookie R21?

Who's a thin mint?

Poll Closing Schedule:

7:00 ET - Vermont, Virginia

7:30 ET - North Carolina

8:00 ET - Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennesee, Texas (except El Paso)

8:30 ET - Arkansas

9:00 ET - Colorado, Minnesota, Texas (El Paso)

10:00 ET - Utah

11:00 ET - California

California will be lucky to give even a bare trace of numbers by this time tomorrow, and we'll be lucky to have a general idea of where they're headed a day after that.

Are the Russians going to manipulate votes and results?

I love you, Gays4Tulsi Troll!

What time does Beto's hole close?

Thank you but I’m not a TROLL~~~

I am just a spastic supporter of unconventional angels! Tulsi making so-called enlightened and intelligent people lose their shit is just extra frosting upon the cake that fuels me 🥰

I was thinking about doing a protest vote for Pete but I decided to vote for Bernie instead. Texas needs to be his.

R30 needs to die in a grease fire.

Make Pete and Beau proud tonight, Joe.

r31 Bernie is the only person who can energize white voters enough to beat Trump. Bernie's revolution is only getting started, Come join us,

Exit polls today report that there has been no swell in youth vote. In fact, the numbers are down compared to 2016.

[quote] Bernie's revolution is only getting started, Come join us

I would vote for Trump, before I ever vote for Sanders.

And I'll never vote for Trump.

Does that answer your question?

Bernie is going to perform MUCH worse than expectations tonight.

Interestingly, there seem to be massive problems in Los Angeles. However, if this had been someplace like Houston, there would be torches and pitchforks cries over voter suppression. 🤔🤔🤔

[quote][R31] Bernie is the only person who can energize white voters enough to beat Trump. Bernie's revolution is only getting started, Come join us,

Sorry, R33. Bernie is no longer even a consideration of mine anymore. I just learned today that.... well, Bernie Sanders calls himself a Democratic Socialist. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela called himself that too.

You'r going to have to come up with a better argument to convince me to vote for Sanders. While I BELIEVE strongly in voting I can't bring myself to vote for Trump and now I'm going to include Sanders in that too. Hmm... maybe I'll write my own name in.

Polls about to close in Vermont & Virginia.

Poll troll where have you been!!

HIYA, POLL TROLL!!!!! NOW, I'm REALLY HAPPY!

BIDEN PROJECTED TO WIN VIRGINIA

Hillary Clinton was an epic failure in 2016 and Hoe will be too.

R41, I had pneumonia for a couple weeks, so I missed Nevada & South Carolina, but I'm on the mend now. : )

BIDEN WINS VIRGINIA. Did the Terry M endorsement help?

I'm sure the Bros will whine about that.

[quote]BIDEN WINS VIRGINIA. Did the Terry M endorsement help?

And Bobby Scott as well.

I would say yes. But, it was the Claybourne endorsement caused that result too. I'm glad you're doing better Poll Troll.

[italic]#JustSayJoe vs #FeelTheBern

CNN and their obsession with race. over it,

Thanks, R49. : )

I work as an erection judge in my precinct and the turnout for Biden is HUGE!

#BitterHillary won't endorse Joe or Bernie.

And she'll never vote for another woman. That job was supposed to be hers!

Msnbc calls Virginia for Uncle Joe. You go Joe!

A little surprising that Virginia was projected so soon.

Good sign for Biden so far.

I'm more concerned about Biden in California.

He needs to break the 15% threshold, so that Sanders won't run away with California's massive delegate count.

Nate Silver tweeted that Bloomberg underperformed in VA by 6 points and Joe beat projections by 6 points.

Politico showing Tulsi at 26.7% in Virginia - wtf? Granted, this is with 0% reporting, but that is double Warren, and 20 points more than Bernie.

Here's Steve Kornacki saying what we've know the whole time, that Bernie isn't bring in new voters.

Biden winning the black vote in Virginia with numbers comparable to South Carolina.

They updated, and now Tulsi is down at 7.7 - below Pete

Biden at Roscoes Chicken and Waffles What a gross panderer.

Why is Biden popular among black voters?

R60

Kornacki doesn't really tell us anything that your average political junkie doesn't already know.

Thanks, R67.

I'm glad I don't have the CV.

Fuck Sarandon right in the ear.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]The weak Bloomberg result in the VA entrance poll, if confirmed and a broad pattern, is a big deal--especially if Warren held up in the north. Biden could maximize his margins in the South; Warren might still force three-way delegate splits in good Sanders states, like CO/CA/UT

[quote]Why is Biden popular among black voters?

Biden's got his cabinet members already picked out. Give it up while there's still a few seats open, Liz.

[quote]For what he's likely paid, Kornacki could afford to dress so much better!

Leave him alone. He’s still mourning Daddy Chris Matthews.

[quote] VA exit poll: Biden 47% Bernie 25% Bloomberg and Warren 11%

Safe to assume that the 25% who voted for Bloomberg would all be in Biden camp if Bloomberg wasn't running?

Rachel Maddow is so fucking ugly. Their coverage is designed to make Bernie look bad.

^^11% not 25%

[quote] Why is Biden popular among black voters?

The Obama effect.

He was Vice-President for eight years, so if he's liked by Barack, then he's in.

Maddow surprised that the Bernie Bros are booing at the Virginia results at his rally. Really, Rachel? Bernie Bros are classless trash.

Please note, I don't mean that all Bernie voters are classless trash - but the Bros are.

And they relate well to the grief he's had in his life R82

Joe’s been down with the AA’s since Cornpop!

And then BBros will claim MSNBC is against them for showing the booing bros

Phish is playing at Bernie's party because of course.

Eugene Robinson just said; "It's possible that we might be asking if Bernie Sanders has a fire wall in California..."

Dave Wasserman:

[quote]The real question in Vermont: does Sanders hold Biden/Bloomberg below 15%? If so, Sanders will sweep all 16 delegates like he pulled off in 2016. If not, likely a six-delegate swing in Biden's favor.

The best thing about Phish is their Ben and Jerry's flavor

White liberals have really put Rachel on a very high pedestal.

LOL R87

Phish = upper middle class white boys who are pissed at their parents but will eventually go into Daddy's business nonetheless.

R79, I think so. He's a billionaire so I doubt they'd want Sanders or Warren if they didn't vote for Bloomberg.

No, r33; you are deluded.

If they haven't dropped out by then, would be interested to see whether they refigure the March 15th debate qualifications to cut out Bloomberg and Warren?

Bernie supporters are mostly pissed they missed the hippie 60s and want to recreate it

😀 Hey, Poll Troll ........

Don't forget to drink plenty of fresh water, get lots of rest, take your vitamins, and wash and sanitize often.

When I'm sick, I find a bowl of stone soup with simmered chicken bones works wonders.

Oh, god. Not another debate.

R20 What she is, and this is NOT open to debate, is a homophobic cunt who, whether wittingly or not, is a Russian asset.

There.

Symone Sanders (Biden’s campaign manager) is a bizarre looking human.

Watching Biden the last few nights, I remember why I like him so much.

He either actually gives a shit, or he's able to fake it really well.

Why tf is Warren in Michigan? They don't vote until next week. Liz, you in danger gurl.

Bloomberg sucks.

R100, the Trans always are.

Warren, giving her stump speech.

Elizabeth Warren is having a meltdown on live TV.

Now that #1 pick, Pete, has left- I can enjoy this stress free! But go, Joe! #OnlyBecausePeteEndorsed

Warren: I was not born a politician, but I was born a fighter.

Warren: I was not born a politician, but I was born a fighter. A brave Cherokee warrior

BIDEN WINS NORTH CAROLINA

Joe-Mentum !!!!

Holy Shit! N.C. just closed as well and they called it immediately.

CNN calls North Carolina for Biden.

MSNBC too

Bernie's Collapse is (almost) COMPLETE!!!!

Not that I am rooting for him R114, but let's wait till California and Texas to dance on his grave

[quote] Warren: I was not born a politician, but I was born a fighter. A brave Cherokee warrior

Aw, stuff it in your pipe, Pocahontas!

Come on, California—dont fuck this up.

I'm rooting for Joe now, but part of me really wants Warren to win MA.

I want the Bros to feel the BERRRRRRRRN!

And not in a good way.

Cry, emo kids, cry!

How can all the networks declare Biden the winner in VA but only 16 out of 99 delegates go to him? And now projecting Biden winning NC too but no one is talking about what the final delegate counts might be.

It all seems fishy to me.

Biden winning the majority of late-deciding voters in North Carolina exit poll.

14 out of 101 delegates to Biden in NC but he’s “the winner.”

Because those are the delegates that go to the winner of the state. The rest will be apportioned based on thee ultimate results.

R121, the networks are calling VA & NC for Biden based on very strong numbers in the Exit Polls.

The bernvictims are going to scream "rigged!" No matter what happens.

They are just as bad as trumptards in their own way.

I have nothing against his ideas. I hate his cult and his spitting.

Human Dynamo and Charisma tornado Tom Perez of the DNC is on MSNBC!!!!

Tom Perez - Mr. Buzzkill shows up.

Dave Wasserman:

[quote]Folks, Joe Biden could be on track to win a clear plurality (if not majority) of the 1,357 Super Tuesday delegates at stake.

Phish are now doing knife hits of hash to supplement their bong rips before taking the stage in Burlington and facing a bunch of angry Bros.

Bloomberg won a larger percentage than Bernie of over 45 year-olds in N.C. and under 26 year-olds made up only 13% of the vote. Biden won AAs by almost 50 points.

March 15 in PHOENIX, R98

Be There or Be Square!

[quote]those are the delegates that go to the winner of the state. The rest will be apportioned based on thee ultimate results.

That’s what I’m saying. 16 of 99 in VA and 14 of 101 in NC is all they know yet Biden is having some awesomely GREAT night?

And, in other news.... (just dropped)

Trump launches an urgent fight to save his economic record

The president is pushing for policies generally preferred by Democrats, as major U.S. businesses signal that key parts of the American economy could get smothered by coronavirus fears.

Eight months from a general election, President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are considering an urgent effort to rescue the U.S. economy from a coronavirus panic.

Trump advisers and GOP lawmakers have spent the last few days pushing the White House to develop a package of economic stimulus measures, designed to prop up the economy amid growing fears about the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S.

Trump and his aides have been battering the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates — shrugging off the central bank’s traditional independence — only to get an emergency rate cut Tuesday and then watch investors get spooked by the signal.

And they’re watching a flood of announcements from multinational U.S. companies signaling trouble that could strangle the American economy for months to come.

The frenzied push to boost the economy is colliding with Republican orthodoxy opposing short-term stimulus during the last recession. But it’s a reflection of what some Republicans recognize as an existential threat to Trump’s reelection: a potential downturn in the economy and financial markets in the run-up to a close and heated presidential election.

“I don’t think it’s good policy,” one senior administration official said. “The whole litany of temporary measures to stimulate the economy ... I don’t think it works.”

During a meeting with lawmakers last week, Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana suggested to Trump the idea of a temporary payroll tax cut to give employed consumers additional cash — an idea that Daines said Trump liked enough to then champion on Twitter.

Meanwhile, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is pushing the idea of a one-time tax credit for companies that bring manufacturing back to the U.S. from China.

And Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said his agency would talk to independent bank regulators about easing rules for lenders. Mnuchin also said Treasury had set up a sub-task force to examine how coronavirus is hitting small businesses.

(there's more)

Old people are electing Trump once again God help us.

Liz doesn't know where she is. She thinks she's meeting Squanto at Plymouth Rock for roasted maize, grilled deer, and firewater punch.

As Dave Wasserman says above, if Biden keeps on like this, winning California may not be enough to keep Bernie ahead.

Is it weird that I wanna start watching live election result coverage with DLers in a Zoom Room?

Lol, Tulsi didn’t even win American Samoa!

[quote]Old people are electing Trump once again God help us.

Well, Bernie said that he could bring the young people out. What's going on, R134?

OOoh, Michael Bloomberg, the KING of American Samoa!

What if the convention hangs on Tulsi's lone delegate?

Fuck off, r135.

I want to hear an angry and incenses Uncle Joe sputter "your wife is porn star! You brought a foreign prostitute into the White House!"

[quote] Lol, Tulsi didn’t even win American Samoa!

She probably won't win Hawaii, either.

"American Samoa"

"American Samoa. The home of 300 pound football players and lots of coconuts casts all six votes for Michael Bloomberg, the only real billionaire in the race!"

Best gaffe ever!

Not one person commented on R53, the erection judge?

This coverage just seems orchestrated to me.

Voted for Biden in Ca.

[quote]This coverage just seems orchestrated to me.

I have no idea what that means.

Because it’s not going the way you want it to, R148

Why, r118? This election isn't about your "parts".

Vote For Patriot Joe!

R147, Waiting for pix.

r148 There is no conspiracy. They do exit polls. Sometimes they are right on, sometimes they aren't. Tonight they're right.

Bernie's having a tougher night than he planned because polls showed people voting in their first Democratic primary went to Joe by 4%, and the young voters, as usual, are not turning out in numbers Bernie said they would.

Are we going to see a bunch of immediate calls in 8 minutes when the next fees states close?

The more states that come in for Biden, expect the Bernie Bots to start spreading the conspiracy theories.

It is fun watching some of them melt down, like fat fuck Michael Moore last night.

Where are the young voters????

Tulsi must be so happy. Now she can save money by sharing a room with her one delegate at the Milwaukee Airport Red Roof Inn and split the cost of a cab ride to the convention

Claire McCaskill is laying some hard truths on the Bros.

Claire McKaskil going in on Bernie. Evidently, she hates him.

You in danger, girl

Have I mentioned how much I love Claire McCaskill? I wish she was re-elected in 2018 because she knows her shit and is perfectly laying out a portion of the argument against the electability of Bernie.

Given what a mess the polling is been there lately, I very much doubt they'll be able to call Massachusetts.

I voted for Uncle Joe in Minnesota.

I would choose Warren if I weren’t voted strategically to oust the current president.

I’d vote for Bloomberg or Gabbard before Bernie.

Dave Wasserman:

[quote]If Biden can win TX and keep CA within single digits, he'll likely exit Super Tuesday with a delegate lead that's close to insurmountable.

Where is Claire doing this and/or what is she saying?

Warren needs to follow Amy's lead.

You would not defeat Trump, Liz.

And if Trump dares mention Hunter, Joe simply can go, "I believe that American tax-payers are more interested in how their money is going to Don Junior, Eric, and Ivanka."

I think Alabama and Tennessee are the only immediate calls we're going to get at 8.

Will the Bros on Twitter keep screaming conspiracy/it's rigged when Bernie wins California and probably Texas? Or is it only rigged when anyone but St. Bernie gets a delegate?

David Chalian's enthusiasm is my favorite thing on CNN

R161 Yet another reason why I'm glad I moved from Missouri. They got rid of Claire McCaskill for that douchebro Josh Hawley, a far right Trump ass licker.

Fuck off Missouri, you really lost a good Senator there.

[quote]Where is Claire doing this and/or what is she saying?

She was on MSNBC. She was talking about how the way you win is not to demonize the supporters of other candidates. And that in her conversation with the freshman members of the House, they don't think Bernie's agenda is what they need.

r165 She's on MSNBC talking about the nominee needing to build a coalition of all of the groups of voters and how Bernie attacking moderate/establishment Dems is the opposite of what he should be doing if he wants to win in the general.

Okay, no calls on TN because of the tornadoes.

BIDEN WINS ALABAMA

What is the likelihood of Biden winning TX and keeping CA in single digits?

There are two small precincts that aren’t closing until 8 in N.C. because of technical problems. The State BOE will start releasing their numbers at 8:10 so we’ll see how the map looks for Biden there soon.

3-way race in MASSACHUSETTS between Bernie, Biden & Warren

OKLAHOMA -- race between Biden & Bernie

MAINE -- race between Biden & Bernie

PollTroll!!! xo

I liked the guy MSNBC has in Alabama talking about wanting someone decent.

Bloomberg was leading in OK. He’s collapsing.

[quote]I liked the guy MSNBC has in Alabama talking about wanting someone decent.

I burst into tears. So, what! Call me Mary!!!!

DECENCY! DECENCY! & PATRIOTISM!!!

Good will always overcome evil!

Since Biden has won Alabama does this mean that Doug Jones has won re-election?

[quote]What is the likelihood of Biden winning TX and keeping CA in single digits?

Biden has a better likelihood of doing that than he did a week ago.

Hi, R179. : )

Go Tulsi!

Joe is decent. Pete is decent. Warren is decent.

Bernie isn't.

Bloomberg! please let him tank tonight and drop out. Why is this manic desiring a brokered convention? Does he think he can pay off the delegates in a smoke filled room?

PollTroll I would argue that Biden doing well early will help him in California. People, particularly undecided people, like to be on a winning team. They are in their way home and might swing by and vote when hearing Biden is doing better than expected.

I know how the DL feels about Al Sharpton, but his comments about James Clyburn endorsing Biden a really lovely.

[quote]PollTroll I would argue that Biden doing well early will help him in California.

Agreed. That's what Wasserman was saying above -- Biden has a chance now of shrinking the Sanders lead in California, which only became possible a few days ago.

I am that bottom for BIDEN!

So far Biden is doing better in the states that he was already favored to win, and he's giving Sanders a real fight in the states that Bernie should be walking away with like Maine and Massachusetts.

It's early. Agree with Jane, Bernie will rally.

Yes, R193. Biden is also at 22% in Vermont, which means that he looks likely to win some delegates there, too. It's not as big of a blowout in Vermont for Sanders as expected.

Interesting since I looked at a poll for CA sometime last week and I swear it said something like Bernie having a 90% likelihood of taking CA.

[quote]Interesting since I looked at a poll for CA sometime last week and I swear it said something like Bernie having a 90% likelihood of taking CA.

Biden wasn't supposed to do well in VA or NC last week either.

Harry Enten:

[quote]Turns out those very late polls look to be correct. It's a lesson: polls are a snapshot in time. And the snapshot changed dramatically over the last 72 hours.

Did Brian Williams just say "this is why we can't have nice things?"

I think the NYT needles in the states that aren't closed yet are starting to retreat from Bernie ever so slightly.

Nate Cohn:

"Biden now favored to win the most delegates tonight, according to our estimates"

r135 is a racist (yes, saying things against Native Americans is considered bigoted despite what Trump wants everybody to think).

Shun him gals!

One factor that could still give Bernie a chance of finishing ahead: the early voting numbers.

Biden ahead in the early numbers in MAINE & MASSACHUSETTS.

Bernie ahead in TEXAS.

No wonder Bernie and his fans were so concerned.

The late deciders in Texas seem to all be going for Joe.

Bernie bros are melting down tonight.

my God... if Joe takes Mass. of all places!

[quote]No wonder Bernie and his fans were so concerned.

I'm often concerned myself.

I loves me some Rachel Maddow, but, does she seem a bit too excitable tonight? She just interrupted Brian Williams and he was smooth about it, but still.

I'm really digging old Claire now that she's gone off the hook on MSNBC.

She was more reserved as a Senator but as a commentator, she really tells it like it is.

Missouri's loss is our gain.

Early results in N.C. have Biden up 6 points over Bernie. Bloomberg viable at 18%, Warren unviable at 12%.

What we should really be thinking about is 2024. If Biden gets the nom and beats Trump, I can't see him winning a second term. His campaign morale relies on damage control and being the only one "able" to beat Trump. But what next? Once he's sworn in, Repugs and Dems alike will tear him to shreds. A new radical Repug will steal the hearts of deplorables everywhere and Joe will be gone in 2024 if he doesn't die first.

If Trump wins a second term, people will be so fed up with him that a Democrat will almost surely take over in 2024. Don't get me wrong, nothing would give me greater joy than seeing Trump lose. But I am worried about the long-term consequences of a Biden presidency.

R213 is almost as concerned as me.

The bernvictims and the media never learn, Bernie only does well in caucuses. He struggles in primaries.

Always has and always will.

The big bad news stories tonight:

Warren... she's bombing. Looks likely to lose her home state, though she made viable there. I am not sure she has anywhere else. Bad night.

Bloomberg... you can't buy the lead

Bernie.... the movement... needs some fiber.

Uh-Oh.... Bloomberg is about to speak

R35 - I feel the same about Biden. I'll vote down ballot, but I won't vote for BIden. See? That attitude works for those who aren't moderates and frightened of change!

R217: sez who?

How many of those supporters did Bloomberg pay?

R218 and R35 - you're both awful. Don't view it as a vote for a candidate you don't want. View it as a vote against Trump

Sanders claimed he was going to excite people and bring young people out to the polls.

He didn't, at least for the primary. The link at r134 is important.

Bloomberg speaking on MSNBC I muted in favor of CNN. Bloomie looks to be pulling some delegates from Joe in Tennessee and Oklahoma

R218 Obama/Biden: ACA and marriage equality we’re change!

And we cannot forget about The Supremes!

Biden narrowly ahead in the early vote in Dallas County, TX.

Could be a good sign for Biden in TX.

This Abdul El Sayed dude on CNN's panel is hot but he's an asshole Sanders supporter.

Liz needs to drop out. She didn't even reach Pete and Amy levels.

The Biden lead in N.C. is widening to double digits in N.C.

So where are all of Bernie's young people who would come out for him?

Same as 2016; nowhere to be found.

Maybe they will come out for him in California?

What has really surprised me is that of VA's big college towns, Bernie is either losing, or barely ahead.

He's about dead even in Charlottesville, which shocks me.

MASSACHUSETTS UPDATE:

BIDEN 30.4%

BERNIE 27.8%

WARREN 25.6%

r227, what makes him an expert? He didn't even win his race.

R230 that reminds me of something that happened in 2016.

Had a friend on Social Meida who was a total Bern Bro. Screaming and shouting at everyone that their choices were the WRONG choice and they were starting a revolution and he had already gotten thousands of people guaranteed to turn out for one of the caucuses being held the next day.

The next day he starts posting: Where is everyone? Are you all coming? What's going on?

Apparently none of the thousands of people who told him they were going showed up.

Biden at over 60% in Alabama. Bernie at only 10% and may not be viable.

Bernie not looking well in this video -I think this is from today. He seems to be having a hard time. Not getting enough air, maybe just exhausted. But not good.

[quote[Their coverage is designed to make Bernie look bad.

Bernie makes Bernie look bad. No help needed.

African Americans and women will save us again.

Warren will be forced out. Third in your own state? Plus who's donating serious money now?

Bernie is ahead in Texas per MSNBC.

Bernie and Warren neck and neck in Massachusetts. If Bloomie's numbers were added to Biden's, Joe would be well ahead.

Drop out, you old gargoyle.

Biden ahead, not Bernie in TX

If nothing else, the big bump in turnout is good news.

[quote]What has really surprised me is that of VA's big college towns, Bernie is either losing, or barely ahead. He's about dead even in Charlottesville, which shocks me.

And, that's why I have ALWAYS said that there is "something" not right with all of this Bernie hoopla and the money. It's just doesn't add up.

Bernie hasn't had a single blow out win.

Interesting 3-way race in TENNESSEE between Biden, Bernie, & Bloomberg.

It's like 4 years ago; Bernie can bring young people out to his rallies, but he can't seem to get them to the voting booths.

Oooh. NYT needle moved Texas to "tilting Biden."

[quote]African Americans and women will save us again.

Yep. People talk shit about blacks and the South but once again they are weeding out these bullshit Democratic candidates.

R245 He had two blowout wins: Nevada and Vermont. Wait for California too

SO! What Republicans are nervous? I'd say Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and even Marsha Blackburn, are not very happy to see these crowds and results.

R248 That needle still gives me PTSD

Settled in with popcorn. Painting nails.

Bernie in Minnesota.

We're talking tonight r250. I'll give you Vermont though.

Lord, I can't stand Rachel Maddow and her "outrage" act-outs!

Even where Bern ie is leading, Biden is right behind in most. Add Biden and Bloomberg and its a landslide for the moderates.

What's she on about, R255?

Wasserman:

[quote]To my eye, even though Biden is down 174k to 133k in TX (according to AP), I still might favor him to win the state tonight. Need to see more E-Day vote.

[quote][R245] He had two blowout wins: Nevada and Vermont. Wait for California too

He doesn't appear to be blowing out VT. I mean, he'll finish above 50%, but he got 86% in 2016.

Biden and Sanders are even in TX in early voting.

Long lines in Austin as an evil Republican plot. Even though Austin and Travis County are run by Democrats.

[QUOTE] Biden and Sanders are even in TX in early voting.

Which is bad news for Bernie Sanders, R260. He needed to blow Biden out in the early vote.

Bernie did well in VERMONT, but Biden is at 22%, so he's viable to win a few delegates.

We're coming up on MN. Let's see what effect Amy had....

In Vermont, as elsewhere, Sanders has really reduced his vote without anti-Clinton specifically as a factor from last time.

I’d blow Biden.

Rachel has a point though about making it difficult to vote in Texas. Colorado has had compulsory vote by mail for 6 years. We also are allowed to vote in person if we don't want to mail in our ballot, and same day voter registration is required here as well.

Anything that makes it easier to vote is a good thing

Colorado polls about to close, too.

[Quote]He had two blowout wins: Nevada and Vermont.

Nevada was a caucus. Caucuses don't really count. You know its true.

Vladimir, Donald, and Miss Lindsey don't like this tonight.

Because we vote by mail, Pete and Amy could get delegates from Colorado

MINNESOTA EXIT POLL - race between BIDEN & SANDERS

Fuck Bloomberg

4-way race in COLORADO --

Bloomberg needs to drop out. All he's doing now is taking support away from Biden.

[quote]Another boon for Biden in TX: he's only down 6% statewide w/ the Austin early vote (probably his weakest batch of votes in the state) already reporting. It only gets better for him from here.

why are there so many comments on the NH primary thread but fewer on super tuesday threads when there are WAY more votes?

was it pete?

It really is amazing to me that it is so difficult to vote in our great Democracy

Ok 30 min

It's not hard for everybody.

Politico's tracker showing Colorado called for Bernie - but showing 0% for all candidates. I'm wondering if this is a mistake.

I'm a bit sad that Pete's gone now. I didn't think I was bothered about him before, but now that these results are coming in it's making me miss the excitement of seeing an openly gay candidate perform well.

R277... some of the DL favourite are out (Pete) or the dream is dying... won't say.... people are so touchy when they over invest.

[quote]I'd say Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and even Marsha Blackburn, are not very happy to see these crowds and results.

I am feeling a little concerned.

MSNBC projecting that Biden takes Tennessee.

Biden wins TN.

Biden’s lead expands to 11 points in N.C. with 19%

A ton of the Colorado vote happened a while ago, before Biden's recent surge.

On a shallow note, big hanging Jake Tapper has lost his early daddy zzz! He looks just slightly haggard and saggy... it's that Paul Rudd diet. I'd still like to see hidden iPhone locker room nudes or what have you, but gravity is pulling him downward.

R238, you mean African American women.

White women will still vote for that orange traitor. They just won't tell anyone.

[quote]Politico's tracker showing Colorado called for Bernie - but showing 0% for all candidates. I'm wondering if this is a mistake.

That's probably a mistake. Exit Polls show Colorado is too close to call. It could certainly go to Bernie, but there are no results in yet.

Miss Lindsey, NO!

Miss Lindsey, NO!

BIDEN leading in early MINNESOTA numbers.

So Burn Out is doing WORSE in VT than he did in 2016?

Isn't that telling.

Biden called as winner of Oklahoma. A state Sanders won in 2016.

I'm very interested in Colorado's results. I live in Colorado, and since we vote primarily by mail, a lot of the results won't be effected by recent drop-outs.

Is David Plouffe gay? He pings to me.

Not only did Biden win VA, he got almost as many votes as Bernie and Hillary combined in 2016.

VA turn out was up big.

So that prediction above that said if Biden won TX and kept CA within single digits that it would make his lead basically insurmountable...

Burnie will still carry on won't he? All the way up until the convention, right?

[quote]I'm very interested in Colorado's results. I live in Colorado, and since we vote primarily by mail, a lot of the results won't be effected by recent drop-outs.

Because a lot of early voting has taken place in Colorado, that could save Bernie there.

Bernie ain't goin' anywhere.

IDK about the man, r298, but that name sure is.

He didn't let an insurmountable lead stop him last time.

Bloomberg viable in a lot of states, drawing delegates away from Biden. His stated purpose was that he didn't think Biden could beat Bernie. Drop out you old piece of shit, or you will make that a reality.

Biden leads expands 12 points in N.C. with 36% reporting. Warren still unviable.

Biden wins Oklahoma.

R295, that shows how very unpopular clinton was in 2016.

Lesbian commentator on CNN, Biden is going to have to do more than just listen to young voters "a little bit", if he doesn't want them to stay home like they did in 2016.

I love Nicolle Wallace. That is all.

What’s with Warren being third in Massachusetts? If she not only loses her home state but comes in third, she needs to drop out immediately.

Well turnout is up big so I’m feeling much better about the GA

Thanks, Poll troll.

Love Nicolle too

Quit giving airtime to fucking Burisma!

Has Gretchen Whitmer endorsed anyone yet? She'd be a very good Veep for Biden, if it's too soon.

Sanders likely to win Colorado.

Biden looks like he could pull off a win in Minnesota.

Texas close enough that it could go down to the wire and be nearly tied.

R289, agreed. Poor Jake isn't aging well.

FOOLS!

Mike Memoji just said treasure trail

*Memoli

I dont like Jake's smug nasally voice

So unpopular R309 that she still kicked his ass everywhere else.

Try again though.

Even though he had NO chance to win, Bernie stayed in all the way to the convention last time and even worse, kept bashing Hillary (the presumptive nominee at that point) and the Democratic party all the way there.

He also kept telling his supporters (cultists?) that he could win at a contested convention even though there was next to no chance of that happening. He gave them false hope and when it didn't happen, they took it out on Hillary and the Democrats.

Bernie caused a lot of damage back in 2016; fuck him.

Bloomberg splitting the moderate vote in Colorado - 24% Bloomberg, 21% Biden 36% Sanders

I've been getting mailers from Bloomberg every day

Bloomie camp not committed to continuing, according to MSNBC

Agreed, R326.

R298 Me, too!

I see straight guys online drooling over Nicole Wallace, but I can't get past her terrible hair.

Sorry, I meant R325.

$500M wasted..Jesus

$500M wasted..Jesus

R298, his name pings!

I kind of feel bad for Liz, she is a good campaigner but she lost the progressive lane

Damn straight r325. I can never forgive Sanders for that bullshit he put the party through.

[quote]$500M wasted..Jesus

Totally disagree! Did you see how his ads hammered at Trump? They were all quite well done. They registered and reinforced a Trump scenario.

It pains me to say this, but Bloomberg is going to be a much better surrogate for Biden than just about anyone else.

#Joementum

Yeah hopefully Bloomberg continues his onslaught on the Orange Anus

[quote]CO update: Biden is safely above 15% viability in the first few big Denver burbs to report votes (Adams, Douglas).

[quote]But the better news for Biden is that Bloomberg looks safely above 15% viability, limiting Sanders's delegate haul.

I definitely prefer when they talk numbers, over when the talking heads blather about their opinions

R337 not with the black vote.

Did anyone catch Rachel talking to Al Sharpton about how her dream was that he broker a deal to get Bernie to accept Bloomberg's money?

The hell was that about?

Exactly, R336. And I like to think they’ve contributed substantially to Trump’s inevitable strokesm/aneurysm/cardiac arrest.

NYT Calls TENNESSEE for BIDEN

I want a 4th lake house. Open your wallets Bros, again and again.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]We're looking at a very real possibility that Biden can extend his gains beyond the South to Maine, Mass. and Minn., all states where Sanders was clearly favored heading into the night but with relatively few advance votes

R343, I believe it was in the context of Bernie saying he wouldn’t take a dime of Bloomberg’s money in the general and how that would play out.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]Biden becoming a comfortable favorite in Minnesota according to our estimates, though still need to hear from big parts of the state

Apparently, even with a Bernie victory in CO, all of the candidates are getting delegates because all four of them are viable.

Bernie painted himself into a corner by railing against millionaires. If he takes money from Bloomberg he will look like a hypocrite.

Ooh, the hot guy on MSNBC spoke to some Pete and Amy voters who showed up to change their ballots in person.

All of them voted for Joe.

Oh, look, it's Gadi Schwartz again!

Rachel's strength is blathering about theoretical intellectual stuff that doesn't have much to do with the real world.

You can change your ballot? Seriously?

Any word on how MA is looking?

CNN CALLS TENNESSEE FOR BIDEN

MA has Biden ahead, and the needle is a dead heat.

Bernie doesn't need millionaire money. He is funded by the Sandinista Bros.

I’m open to hearing any and all stories about Bernie Bro tears tonight.

R354 You could change your ballot if you had not mailed it in, but had marked it. If you mailed it in, too bad.

R355, Biden has a good shot at beating Bernie in MA based on current numbers.

Wasserman says he looks good there right now since he's at a 6% lead.

[quote]Bernie ain't goin' anywhere.

That's becoming increasingly clear.

CNN CALLS COLORADO FOR SANDERS*

I'm thinking we might get an MN call soon.

Warren losing in her home state

R360 in 7 states early voters can change their votes.

The Squad must be in tears tonight.

I think the Dems want Warren to stay in.

r360 I was just referring to Colorado. I know you can in Michigan, but you couldn't in California.

politico calls Minnesota for Biden, MSNBC says too early to call

60% of the voters in CO voted before South Carolina, so the Biden surge came too late to beat Sanders there.

Biden in Maine & Massachusetts. Close.

Colorado mails in their votes. Many voting weeks ago.

I wonder if James Carville is in a better mood tonight.

Wasserman:

[quote]Right now, I'd consider Biden the slight favorite over Sanders in each of Texas, Minnesota and *Massachusetts.* Still a long way to go.

Some places you can change your ballot.

NYT calls OKLAHOMA for BIDEN

If Biden ends with the plurality in Texas, that will be a very strong night for him.

Is James Carville ill?

No R379

He always looks like a gargoyle.

UTAH now closed. Too Early To Call.

Arkansas is called for Biden.

Liz is drinking corn liquor right now.

CNN CALLS OKLAHOMA for BIDEN

I feel bad for her. She deserves better but it is what it is.

Wasserman:

[quote]Why do I think Biden looks good in TX? Only a third of TX's expected vote is in...and the overwhelming share of it is early vote. And Biden is only down 5.5%.

I can’t stand the sight of Jane Sanders.

Did Bernie just called his crowd “Berniebots”?

Bernie’s got his gay grandson on stage again.

Is Jane Sanders developmentally disabled?

R389 Is that the boy in the Bill Cosby sweater?

And that grandson is wearing a Cosby sweater.

Interesting. They were going on about how just a few weeks ago if you would have said Biden would get a single delegate out of MN they would have laughed at you and now he's winning the state.

Biden won Minnesota. I'm surprised.

Biden’s lead in N.C. now up to 17 points in NC with 74% in.

Bernie must have had his prune juice, with all his talk of movements.

[QUOTE] Is that the boy in the Bill Cosby sweater?

Yep.

Sanders telling everyone he will win the nomination.

[Quote]"Tonight I tell you with absolute confidence: we are going to win the Democratic nomination," Bernie Sanders tells supporters in Vermont.

Hmm, Bernie you might want to look around at what's happening.

I remember Jane Sanders snickering and making faces at Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democratic debates. Not a classy woman.

Jane does look like Meredith Baxter in "Winnie".

Everyone on Burn Outs stage looks like their his Mormon brides.

Anyone have any insight into the metldowns happening with Bern Bros righ about now?

Oh.... I tell ya... these Bernie people are just plain nasty.

I mean, they'll whine because these are states that Democrats won't win in November.

Something something wine caves.

NYT calls ARKANSAS for BIDEN.

I need Bern Out tears!

You know, the diverse coalition sitting behind Bernie looks pretty white.

Is he going to shove Jane again like he did in 2016... cause Ill be there for that.

Fuck this guy. He’s like Trump; he’s never going away.

Someone needs to Gillooly that smelly old fuck Bernie if he tries to pull that shit again at the convention. If Biden has the delegates to win on the first ballot, Bernie should be banned from the convention.

R409 open your eyes, there are like two brown guys just over hsi shoulder

[quote]Lesbian commentator on CNN, Biden is going to have to do more than just listen to young voters "a little bit", if he doesn't want them to stay home like they did in 2016.

Like they did tonight?

CNN also calls ARKANSAS for BIDEN

[quote]Anyone have any insight into the metldowns happening with Bern Bros righ about now?

He's taking advantage of the free media and is giving a stump speech... and, JUST like they did for Trump, the media is allowing him to do it.

Enough about Iraq already there is a whole lot of ugly on that stage. The kids look okay, but all of the adults could stop a clock.

Can the CALLS STATE troll shut up? None of these are winner take all primaries! Jeez!

Same ole lines Bernie espouses. All complaints and no explanations how he will deliver and get anything through Congress

Prior to Pete leaving the race how many states was Sanders supposed to win tonight?

Wasn't Nate Silver saying like two weeks ago that Bernie was going to end up winning every single state Joe has gotten?

There's Minnesota.

[QUOTE] Same ole lines Bernie espouses. All complaints and no explanations how he will deliver and get anything through Congress

You’ve got to admire his self discipline, however.

Did they just say Joe didn’t spend any money in Minnesota?

The embedded NYT reporters with Bernie are saying that all of the supporters started leaving as soon as Bernie finished.

They know what's up.

Do we love Chris Hayes?

Wasserman projects BIDEN wins MINNESOTA

Joe looks physically revived by all this. He looks great.

Biden coming out to talk on mSNBC - already talking on CNN

[QUOTE] Did they just say Joe didn’t spend any money in Minnesota?

Joe should brag about how efficient he’s been with his money.

Awww, look how happy Joe is.

R424

Hayes is only one on MSNBC openly pulling for Sanders. So no, not a big fan.

Joe sounds like he’s 10 years younger than he was a week ago.

Yes, R428, they said he spent no money and had no offices there.

Which isn't surprising because as they said, two weeks ago, they would have laughed at you if you said he'd even get 1 delegate from MN.

He owes it all to Amy.

Wasserman projects MASSACHUSETTS for BIDEN

Will Joe regale us with more stories about children touching his leg hair?

I was going to wait up until they called MN, but I think I'll wait until MA.

Utah called for Sanders on MSNBC.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]Bernie in danger of falling beneath viability in Alabama

Protesters!

What the actual hell?

They should’ve been shot.

Joe had one campaign office in Càlifornia. Bernie has dozens and dozens of them.

“Let Dairy Die!”

Praising Amy, Beto, and especially Pete.

Those Bern heifers are angry and physical.

It’s amazing that Biden barely advertised in ST states

[quote]Maine update: it's pretty ominous for Sanders that Biden is in the lead by 0.2% w/ Portland *and* Orono fully reporting.

I don’t like these Texas numbers.

Does anyone know what the expectation for tonight was supposed to be prior to Saturday?

How well was Biden supposed to do?

I mean he spent eight years as Obama's vice president. People know who Biden is r457.

Bernie Sanders has always been a fractional candidate. When the more moderate competition was split he looked really good. When it isn't split as much he can't win the Dem base.

Sanders is suffering from Trump delusions.

Soon he’ll be screaming fake news!

Politico has Pete at 13.4% in Utah - could he wind up viable?

What does Warren do?

Utah will go for Sanders.

Utah may have early voting

[quote]Bernie in danger of falling beneath viability in Alabama

The black vote has been strongly for Biden across the board.

The same reason Sanders could not beat Hillary last cycle.

NYT has also called MINNESOTA for BIDEN.

Obama's shadow and his hand has helped immeasurably. People want Trump GONE.

What a fool of Trump to think Obama wouldn't have his vengeance.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]Making things even worse for Sanders: many of his best states feature three or more candidates with a solid shot to reach viability, potentially blunting his delegate haul in states like CO, UT and perhaps CA down the line

[quote]What does Warren do?

We can rule out "smokum peace pipe" with Bloomberg.

When Joe was pulling in small crowds at his campaign events, his people were using the excuse that "people know Joe. They don't need to see him speak to support."

I don't believe now that it was so much an excuse as the truth.

Biden now with an 18 point lead in NC and Bloomberg has dropped out of viability with 89% reporting.

MSNBC projecting that Biden will end up with an 80-90 delegate lead by the end of the night.

What states vote next after tonight?

Will JOEmentum continue on?

AP calling MA for Biden.

Politico calling Utah for Bernie, showing Biden at 13.9% with 48.6% reported. Bloomberg at 19.2

Florida is next week and we hate Bernie!

Sanders lead in TX down to 3.7%

What the hell is wrong with Utah Democrats?

Pete Buttigieg met with Jimmy Carter before he flew to Indiana and withdrew. I believe party elders advised Pete to leave before Super Tuesday and endorse Biden. Pete will get a top cabinet post or become the DNC chair. Biden likes him. I would not rule Pete out being offered the VP candidate role; but believe a woman or an African-American would be Biden's running mate if Biden wins out.

Warren is going nowhere. She's behind in Massachusetts.

What is a Utah Democrat?

CNN cannot project a winner in CALIFORNIA, but Sanders is the early leader.

What are there, three of them, r484?

Wow so Biden didn't spend a dime in MA, didn't have an office there, nor did he air any ads there.

^oops meant r481 @r485.

Bloomberg is killing Biden in Texas, and will go on to kill Biden in California as well most likely.

Sanders with a big lead among Latinos in California and Young Voters.

Biden leading with Older voters.

Bloomberg's bid is fucked. He will be seen now only as a spoiler. Biden had too many successes in different places tonight.

Texas too close to call.

AP called California for Sanders

It's very early for California. Polls just closed.

NYT/Nate Cohn says Bernie leading by 15 points in California Exit Poll.

I haven't been a Warren supporter and think she's run a horrible campaign, but I feel bad that she didn't even win her own state. They are going to blame sexism and misogyny, but this is really all about learning how to read the room.

r479, March 17th.

Latinos love Tio Bernie.

Ive spent a lot of time in steam rooms with Kornacki.

I'm sorry but why is Maddow on MSNBC trying to spin Warren coming in third in her home state as "well.... it's not too bad"

^ SPILL. NOW.

He's a premature ejaculator, right, R499?

A lot of people don't watch cable news or the debates but still watch much TV and still see a massive number of Bloomberg ads. It does impact.

R500, because she's about as tone deaf as Warren.

[quote]Wasn't Nate Silver saying like two weeks ago that Bernie was going to end up winning every single state Joe has gotten?

R420 I was one who defended him after the 2016 election, but at this point you could stick a fork in Nate Silver. He's just not the guru people thought he was. And he becomes such a defensive little bitch on twitter when he is called out about it.

wow Biden was only at 11% in Massachusetts in this past weekend's poll now he's projected to beat both Warren and Sanders

I like Warren a lot and think she ran a great campaign. Sexism really is her enemy. She's so much more likable than Sanders. I voted for Biden and I'm glad I helped him win.

While it's true Bloomberg is messing with Biden's numbers in Texas and California, Warren is doing the same to Sanders so I hope she stays in

Dumb California.

And I’m a Californian.

Did Biden spend time with Latino voters during the last year? I know Sanders and Warren did. The Latinos seem to be solidly behind Sanders and that's a huge factor in Texas and California

Very pertinent point made today by New York Times Columnist Charles Blow:

“Every presidential candidate was born before 1950, before commercial computers, color TV broadcasting, home microwaves and modems. Let that sink in”

Age of remaining top presidential candidates at 2021 inauguration:

Warren: 71 (June 22, 1949) Trump: 74 (June 14, 1946) Biden: 78 (November 20, 1942) Bloomberg: 78 (February 14, 1942) Sanders: 79 (September 8, 1941)

So Bloomberg’s having an even worse night than Bernie, apparently.

Why is sexism her enemy, specifically. Bring receipts.

I like her sincerity but man running her campaign with her odd personality would have fared as badly.

Biden wins Mass.

Ouch.

CNN calls MASSACHUSETTS for BIDEN

LOL.

I just hope Biden gets a chunk of delegates from Texas and Massachusetts. I think Sanders will win both but hopefully not landslides

If Bernie wins Texas and California, we’re talking about a fight all the way to the convention. What a disaster for Democrats. Thanks, Michael Bloomberg.

R515 you mean California. Biden already won MA.

Biden down by only 2.3% in Texas.

MSNBC saying that Biden might still win TX.

R511 you don't think Sanders is an oddball? Warren has actually accomplished things in her career. Sanders just yells

why is Sanders more popular than her? It certainly isn't about accomplishments or intelligence.

[quote]Bernie in danger of falling beneath viability in Alabama

Not that he was ever going to do well there, but serves him right for skipping the Selma events.

Bloomie would give his delegates to Biden.

I can post again! Lol

I'm in OK. Joe wins over Bernie. Warren who was born and raised here is not viable at 13%. Bloomy also not viable at 14%. I did hear that Mike already has over seven million dollars of ads ready to go for tomorrow in states that vote next week. So I guess he isn't ready to drop out.

I ended up going with Bernie, but if Joe is the nominee, I will vote for him in Nov..

I just can’t stand Elizabeth Warren.

Looks like Bloomberg is giving Bernie a run in CA.

[quote]Don't get me wrong, nothing would give me greater joy than seeing Trump lose. But I am worried about the long-term consequences of a Biden presidency.

How about being a bit worried about the long-term consequences of a 2nd Trump term. You know, something really to worry about.

Oh shush. Warren is the best, but she ain't winning this thing.

If you want to know how Bernie bots are reacting, head on over to r/politics. Elizabeth Warren is getting the shit kicked out of her right now because she has the audacity not to drop out. She's not a real progressive and she should probably just die.

Biden's got issues, serious issues, but at this point, it is probably Biden, and we all gotta get behind that.

Can any of you guys please link me to a site like the NyTimes (non paid) that has a live resulta with map of each state?

Thanks

Tonight, the Democrats defeated our own version of Trump.

Well done America!

I am still afraid Trump might get reelected.

If Biden emerges as the nominee, repubs will spewing and spinning the Ukraine/Hunter bullshit through November. The question will be how well that resonates with casual news viewers and people who don't really follow it at all. Remember how effective the Obama birther and Hillary Benghazi/emails fake scandals were.

If Sanders wins, they'll play the socialist card and try scare off white suburbanites that they'll lose all their money and the stock market will crash

[quote]MSNBC saying that Biden might still win TX.

Interesting. That's what Dave Wasserman has been saying for a while.

[QUOTE] Biden's got issues, serious issues

And Comrade Bernie doesn’t? How about the weeklong dustup he caused by praising Fidel Castro’s “education” program?

R529 and Bernie DOESNT have issues?

Guys. This history making evening has only proven one thing: it’s time for all of us to unite behind Tulsi Gabbard, the trailblazing future of our party!

Two lessons from tonight:

- You can’t buy an election.

- Pundits don’t know shit. Ignore them.

Biden is on track to win N.C. by 20 points.

if you can't stand Warren, how can you stand Sanders?

I feel bad for her.

Hunter's usefulness is primarily to drag out a few last Trump voters. However, that's not going to offset their massive bleeding in the suburbs.

everyone needs to put their usual bitter behind them and focus on the goal ahead. I ain't happy, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you are happy. get with the goddamn program.

R536 Go to hell, Ronna!

R532, Repukes will spin whatever shit they want to. No candidate will be immune to their venom. We just have to be unified.

Biden down now by only 1.4% in Texas.

Bernie’s going to get his ass kicked to Cuba in the Florida primary.

There are more big states coming up later: Florida, Pennsylvania, NY, Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, etc.

[quote]If Biden emerges as the nominee, repubs will spewing and spinning the Ukraine/Hunter bullshit through November. The question will be how well that resonates with casual news viewers and people who don't really follow it at all.

Who.Gives.A.Shit.About.Hunter.

I mean, it's not like the three eldest spawn of the current incumbent are clean and pristine now correct? I mean, they make Hunter Biden look like Mother Teresa in comparison.

My only ongoing concern about Biden and the party is that they'll allow Trump and the Repubs to set the tone and narrative, rather than the other way round. "They go low, we go high" crap etc etc. They need to learn to hit HARD and hit OFTEN. Bloomberg's ads have done this well to good effect imo - he's not afraid to pull punches there, it's effective.

Warren just sent out a message she's not leaving the race

haha good I hope she stays in as that fucks up Sanders' support

Does Bernie turn so red when he gives a speech in an attempt to become a person of color?

Bloomberg basically spoiled a sure victory for Biden.

fine, more big states, awesome. Whoever wins tonight, I hope they win big and we can get past this shit and get on to defeating Trump, the true danger to the Republic.

I’m switching stations because they all have different numbers, and Fox has Bernie’s lead in Texas down to 1.6%.

I actually think Bloomberg has stayed this long because he wants to be the counterpart of Warren, ie. the spoilers who are taking away voters from Biden and Sanders respectively, so that the BernieBots can't really claim only Sanders has a spoiler.

Bernie wins California. Fuck you, OP.

R547 the repubs are relentless. Already starting yesterday fucking Ron Johnson started up on Hunter Biden again. They're going to do a drip drip of non-scandal new details about Hunter's work in Ukraine and make it seem as suspicious as possible. We here all know it's bullshit but it's hard to know what casual news viewers and people who don't follow much news will think. I would HOPE people now realize Trump and the repubs are liars but who the hell knows. Call me a pessimist but I was so hopeful in 2016 and got burned

Bernie is like Manson and his minions AOC and the rest of the squad are like his murderous followers.

Wasserman projecting BIDEN wins TEXAS:

well if that is the case r553 hope he drops his ass out tomorrow. do not make this a pissing contest, por favor.

Bloomie should be embarrassed by his showing.

Biden now down only 1.3% in Texas.

Regardless how this ends up it was a GREAT night for Vice President Biden

r554, it was expected.

r555 they better have learned their lessons from 2016. You can't come to a sword fight with a butter knife. Bring it on and bring it hard, and EARLY. Counter each and every assertion from them with an equally compelling and accurate one - it's not as if there isn't a ton to work with there.

Perhaps Bloomie will be willing to reach into those deep pockets of his, and lend out his media team to craft some ads for Biden in the fall.

and if it's Joe, r555, get on that shit. do NOT BE POLITE. Fuck that shit up. Please do not be old uncle Joe thinking that oh these Republicans are pretty decent deep down. They are cunts from start to finish. Please get that.

Biden down by .7% in Texas.

[quote] Warren just sent out a message she's not leaving the race. haha good I hope she stays in as that fucks up Sanders' support

I half wonder if she's staying in mostly to siphon votes from Sanders. Maybe she's part of the whole Pete-Amy-Beto pact to keep Sanders from getting the nomination.

Joe Biden is doing incredibly well in states that he never visited, where he opened zero field offices, and where he spent next to nothing on ads and direct mail.

r555/r563: that's why Stapler Amy may be a good pick for VP. She's a total bitch on wheels, and I mean that in the best way. She will EVISCERATE Pence in the debates, and go after Trump with an unfearful vengeance.

Biden's choice of VP will be critical and key.

[quote]Biden down by .7% in Texas.

Looks like Dave Wasserman's prediction is coming true.

Bernie’s Texas lead down to like half a percentage point. Biden will take the lead soon!

This just show that Biden would have handily won in 2016, and Trump wouldn't.

The Bros are being less than nice to Warren. Damn, I thought they were supposed to be the woke ones.

Maine is tied.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Braden needs to follow Pete’s campaign model. Pete was always on offense never defense. He got hit he hit back harder!

R565, I’m pretty sure that’s the case. I think she was promised something by Biden. Tbh, I’m happy with anything that derails Bernie, so I’m glad she’s still staying in the race. Bernie can have a taste of what it’s like, considering his shenanigans in 2016.

Biden down by .5% in texas

R571 were you not around for 2016?

All the morons here supporting Biden - are you millionaires? I doubt it. Joe Biden doesn't give a shit about you.

Grow up. For all we know, Bernie was OP's second choice and we should be glad OP didn't vote for him.

The moron would be the one thinking Burnie gives a shit about them.

Try harder.

R578, the feeling is mutual. We don’t give a shit about you either.

Bernie Bros spit the most venomous, misogynistic poison at Elizabeth Warren and demand that she exit the race, but then expect her supporters to run to their side and lock hands with them. What bullshit!

F-*-C-K O-F-F r578. As if your boy Bernie gives a shit either. The most self-centered, power-drunk candidate since....Trump in 2016 actually.

don't be dumb shits. i know some of you are young, but don't be dumb shits. resist the temptation to be the stupidest fucks on the internet.

Dave Wasserman predicts Biden will win Texas, and he's rarely wrong.

Will Pete become Biden's VP candidate?

Has a PART 2 been created?

Holy crap. Haven't been watching until now: Biden is kicking ass.

Biden's wrapping this up. let's all deal with that reality, and wake up in the morning.

I know repubs try to make voting harder in certain areas of Texas but why are there some spots in California with very long lines too? Isn't California all controlled by the Democrats?

where I live in another state there's never even a line and I live in a big city

R582 They did the same thing to Pete, including harassing him at campaign events, then expected his supporters to join u with Bernie after Pete dropped. I even saw them claiming Pete was going to endorse Bernie.

The delusion is strong with the Bros

Since you get a proportion of delegates, it's not a deal breaker not to win a state. It's almost irrelevant.

As long as the split is diluted, the more Bernie goes bust.

Imagine what he faces in Florida!

Interesting note about Vermont:

In 2016, Sanders swept all 16 of Vermont's delegates. Today, Biden will get 5.

Here's a thread for pt 2.

Yes, everyone has been horribly abused and treated unfairly and would have won if only, but really, there are winners and losers, and we have to deal with the fact tomorrow that there is going to be a winner, and we have to support them, whoever it is.

Biden down by .2% in TexAS

Thanks, R494/R495

Closed!

[quote] why are there some spots in California with very long lines too

Lawrence O’Donnell says it’s due to record voting spurred not by love of any one candidate but by fear of Trump.

What makes you say that, R556, ya little piggie? Just 'cause my middle name is "Squeaky?"

Someone should put a cork in Aunt Esther's mouth.
