Not to mention how hard the opposition has tried to prevent Trump from facing him?

Except to fill up message boards like DU.

But we don’t get to decide. The media and the Rs decide that...which means there are no minor gaffes.

I dont see that changing.

and I'd feel better when he drops out

Warren and Sanders are more than good enough for me, and for the future

Ain’t gonna happen.

because he has 66,000 million in the bank. Lack of funds is #1 reason candidates drop out.

Biden=Obama in that formula for people

For 8 years and are great friends. What is wrong with that?

people want competent neutral bureaucracy in a crisis...

When it becomes existential, economic revolution is not at the top of the list.

Essentially, the playing field shifted over the last 7 days.


Also doesn't mean Sanders can't win... it just got a lot harder is all.

After what we have been subjected to for 3 years people are ready for expertise, common sense Leadership once again.

I was certain Biden was going to win SC. Keep in mind most polls were much lower than the actual vote.

By Friday, I was predicting the only question was whether Biden would reach 50%.

I fully expect Biden to overperform again tomorrow.


Predictions for tomorrow:

CA: Sanders by less than 10%
TX: Biden by 5-10%

No one was rushing toward Biden until after SC.

Your point?

Led to the repubs nominating Trump.

We aren’t going to do that.

and not a former Republican who supported Bush, fund GOP candidates, illegally detained protesters and advocated for a racist policy.

Base my decision one one performance. I doubt many others did that.

My decision is based on many things, including the many years Joe has conducted himself with common sense and dignity. That includes as Senator, 8 years of what he did as VP with Clinton.

It s also how he has conducted his personal life over the years. I see the respect he has earned over his long public service.

I am a moderate who takes time to study, observe and listen before I do anything.

Real Democrats do not want Kevin McCarthy become speaker due to sanders being on the top of the ballot

Sanders support seems to be vaporizing.

But this year he’s running against a man who seems to lie with every other sentence, so I don’t think it’ll matter that much.

...a functional government that recognizes women’s rights are human rights, that reuniting kids in cages with their parents is an imperative, that immigrants are the backbone of our future and that any claim of racial supremacy is a stain on our country.

If Joes gaffes are enough to cause us to throw all that (and more) away...then god save us all from another 4 years of Trump.

The "bloom" certainly came off of that Bloomberg rose in the last couple of weeks. A well orchestrated image through purchased airtime can crumble in a heartbeat when the same old personality impaired guy has to show up at a debate.

And Sanders reminded us last week how he sees himself as the savior standing against both parties. Not to mention, he made a stir by saying that Castro made the trains run on time (I mean literacy). He can't dodge all of the questionable things he has said in the past. And worst, he doesn't seem to want to.

They are all imperfect for various reasons. Joe was not my first choice but he is a good one.

Didn't stick last time, and certainly illustrated a lot of people as intolerant and out-of-touch.

That's probably why you're nervous.

This guy (me) has been voting D since 1972.

Now that we have a racist, misogynist, criminal in the White House who taunts, swears, and misspeaks like a 12 year old drug addled street hood, I don’t share your concern.

Trump is the mortal enemy.

Bloomberg has plenty of skeletons in his closet, but I'd vote for him over Trump without hesitation. But suit yourself.

I've just recently heard Maya Wiley and others talking about the way he disenfranchised the voters of NYC to get that 3rd term he brags about so please don't act as if Bloomberg is all that.

Is a fake. It was altered to cut out the first part talking about how he used to start his senate campaigns.

ok, sure.

Bloomberg represents the worst possible option to me. Hoping Super Tuesday will be the end of his campaign. Sanders and/or Warren would be the best outcome at this point.

And am really surprised Warren supporters are giving in before Super Tuesday. If everyone votes for who they they think is the best candidate rather than who they think can win/ is winning, Warren will do great tomorrow!

SC proved that and with Bernie constantly attacking the Democratic Party the stakes are pretty high...So yes the Party is closing ranks around the moderate they think can win.

We will have historically low black turn out.

I'm sorry - but that's what I think.

*I* would vote for him - but his apologies might be too late for my nephews, my brother, and a lot o black Americans.

Please pardon me for not sharing your view.

I seriously doubt that tRump will agree to debates this fall. He will simply do rallies and the media will once again give him billions of dollars worth of free media time.

The only antidote will be paid media, and only Mike can afford it.

I don't trust it and I don't trust him. There's no such thing in politics as money without strings.

I don't understand it since Biden was over 50 points ahead before he even decided to run, that everyone froze while people learned if the VP elephant in the nation would run, and he was far out ahead of a second-tier group double digits behind him for an entire year.

And that, extremely peculiarly, right before IA his name and Sanders' were suddenly and bizarrely reversed on polls and it was Sanders who came from far behind to suddenly be far ahead and it was America's most liked candidate who was far behind. All within a handful of weeks.

But hey, if being nervous at a threat of normality is how you want to roll, a suggestion that the RW and Russian election subversion we know they've had in the works for 3 years failed in SC, best wishes for a really fearsome, dripping nervous sweat.

That's all.

No question Bloomberg would have greater opportunity in November than Biden will. Now we are mostly dependent on Trump dropping in the approval rating.

I share concerns about Biden's age leading to memory lapses and mistakes.

No question Biden has greater opportunity to defeat Trump than Sanders would.

We are making the cautious choice. I can understand Michael Moore's concern even though he was riding the wrong horse.

Bloomberg presented us with an incredible gift of teflon and awe. We threw it away based on unfortunate stuff that wouldn't impact him in November at all.

Day to day detail types make that type of blunder all the time

I think he would seriously suppress black turnout even more than 2016.

the Ukraine crap will come back too but the co-opting of #metoo movement is the real worry
