The voters had put a primary system in place, so the state ran it, but the Democratic party decided not to use it to select their delegates. So they used their caucuses instead (which Bernie decisively won.)

I'm so glad to see the end of those caucuses.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

If Bernie isn't crushing it in the democratic electorate of Washington, he really doesn't have any path to even a plurality. If Biden wins Washington, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi Tuesday, it's curtains. He's un-catchable at that point.

suspend even if he has that worst-case scenario followed by humiliation in Florida, not after seeing how his campaign has behaved over the past week. He'll keep taking donations for some reason though...

I also think/ hope Biden and his group just start ignoring him after the next debate and start firing away at trump. Bernie gonna Bernie, if that's how he chooses to go, but there'd really be no reason to engage with him past the 17th if things keep headed this direction.

looks like a lotta stocks this week.

Here's a new WA poll released just yesterday...

NEW POLL: Joe Biden Takes Lead in Washington State, Which Bernie Sanders Won By Landslide in 2016

https://www.mediaite.com/news/new-poll-joe-biden-takes-lead-in-washington-state-which-bernie-sanders-won-by-landslide-in-2016/

I like the photo...Bernie arm-waving as usual...Biden doing imaginary pull-ups while Sanders flails away. Joe's gotta keep them biceps in shape for when he punches Trump in the face later this year.

primary today, I would vote for:
