Do not want Bloomberg or Sanders to win the nomination as I think Sanders would lead to a disaster in the General Election and I just can't trust anyone that I see as trying to buy his way into office.

Aside from MA, she should pick up some delegates in CO, TX & CA
But she's not having a good night.

Biden is over performing according to NYT in NC, VA, AL & AR delegate projections compared with 538's last forecast. EDIT: Biden picked up an extra delegate in VT

What happens in TX & CA will determine if we still have a horse race or we're heading towards a coronation.

These voters clearly prefer doddering old white men over smart, talented women. Fine, I guess they are going to get what they deserve. No real change, continued medical bankruptcies and absolutely no consequence for Trump (except maybe he loses, which would be humiliating, doubly so if it’s Biden. So that’s something at least).

I’m still voting for her in the primary, even if she quits. Because, fuck it, nothing matters.

Howard Dean was moving big on Kerry in Mass in 2004 till Kerry won Iowa and NH.

Kennedy’s got behind their friend Joe Biden, and Sanders is great at BSing college students.

When people believe that it’s down to a two man race for the nomination, not many are going to doubt it, are they?

I think the media saying that Sanders was expected to win the nomination helped push voters to Biden, especially after SC.
