In five of the ten states that Biden won on Super Tuesday, the combined Sanders + Warren percentage was higher than Biden (just barely in OK)

"State #" Biden Sanders + Warren
"Okla. 37" 38.70% 38.80%
"Minn. 75" 38.60% 45.30%
"Texas 228" 34.50% 41.40%
"Maine 24" 34.10% 48.60%
"Mass. 91" 33.60% 48.10%

Sanders Super Tuesday win: California, Colorado Utah Vermont

So it is a reasonable assumption that Sanders could have won more states and more delegates than Biden had Warren dropped out before Super Tuesday than afterwards. Elizabeth Warren's 56 delegates paled in comparison to Bernie Sanders 528 delegates for the day, but they may have dealt him a death wound.

Sanders strategy of courting Latino voters has basically been spent. In two days Biden’s strength in Missouri and Mississippi will increase his delegate lead. The most likely outcome is that Michigan will be about an even split.


TOTAL ---- Super Tuesday
664 Joe Biden 649
573 Bernie Sanders 528
64 Elizabeth Warren 56
61 Michael Bloomberg 61
26 Pete Buttigieg --
7 Amy Klobuchar --
2 Tulsi Gabbard 2

What mess?


Biden, although with policies that an independent can vote for, is clearly on the ‘senility spectrum’. And the only other remaining candidate is NOT a Democrat and IS a socialist. This is a mess as far as I’m concerned. The Democrats who think otherwise are just fooling themselves. Biden still may beat Trump, but that is not because of any strengths that Biden has. It will be because the anti Trump support will have grown strong enough.

Will there be talk in his administration, or leaked and unproven information, about invoking the 25th amendment?

Maybe Hillary or Michelle would take the VP job. Could be a clear path to the Presidency should the decline Biden seems to be on continue and he win the election.

I am not rooting for that...as someone who as seen it and has a mother who is living it, the decline of the mind is hard to watch...maybe harder than the decline of the body. At least my dad could decide when to end treatment; my mom would not know what treatment means at this point.

Really. Are you getting clues to
this 'support' from Trump sold
out rallies, or that people are
turning out in droves to vote
for Trump in the primaries when
he's running unopposed? You
see nothing but 'anti Trump
support' there?

This was Nursing Home Joe today:

"We cannot win this reelection, we can
only reelect Donald Trump." What
day is it Joe, you get three guesses.
I feel like I'm in an SNL skit, are people
seriously voting for somebody this
far gone mentally?

I wonder if CNN will be giving sleepy Joe the questions to be asked prior to the debate happening?
