At least he isn't kissing his granddaughter on the mouth again.

Hmmm. It's as if Bernie had an even an ounce of flex in him, he'd be able persuade like-minded candidates to further his cause. It doesn't say much for him as a politician that even his ideological peers have no interest in creating a coalition around him.
Some states allow completely open primaries that but not many, and for the most part those votes would come out in the wash, especially when one of the leading candidates for the Democratic primary is officially an Independent, he's likely to catch a large amount of independents (like me) and a handful of fringe Republicans (like those Sanders supporters in 2016 who voted for Trump in the general election).
By all accounts, Biden has been riding a wave of momentum from the primary in South Carolina on Saturday, where he won with a very strong showing, in a predominantly Black state with high minority representation in the primary. This basically ended the campaigns of Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, who needed to have surprisingly strong performances in South Carolina to stay relevant. Some were hoping that Buttigieg/Klobuchar supporters would split their vote among Biden and Sanders, but it seems like much larger percentages went to Biden than Sanders.
Thank god, going to need this after reading my Twitter feed just now.
Ironic too. If it wasn't Warren, it's puppetmaster Obama.
Hey everyone, this just in, Biden just promised a cure for cancer. Well I'll vote him I guess since he's not a progressive who is promising things he can't possibly do himself :).
I'm blaming the American people. Although just wait for Obama to endorse Biden this week...

Honestly its a good line. The one thing Democrats should take from Trump is to just overpromise on fucking everything, deliver on none of it while pretending like you got the job done.
Calling minorities and the broad coalition that voted for Biden today morons doesn't seem very nice...
just a few more months of this, we can make it. We can make it. its going to be ok. right?
I more meant the personal stuff behind your pessimism but yeah I get you.
We frankly need to restructure the dnc which is something bernie could have done. progressives don't win because the dnc always backs the moderate and the progressive just gets drowned out because all of the money dnc is spending on moderate. Its a major hurdle in getting progressives into congress.
I'm guessing Joe Kennedy is going to be a Senator in four years.
I wanted Bernie to win but I'm fine with Biden since it will put Florida in play and 100% expect him to do better than Hillary based on the fact that he is beating Bernie in states that Bernie beat Hillary in.
Yeah she's super bad at this. She was my #1 pick before anybody actually announced their campaigns and she's been an abject disappointment ever since.
I imagine Bloomberg's campaign leadership is getting out of town right now like Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction.
Biden just really seems out of it... I mean, like maybe 8 years ago Biden could have beaten Trump but he just really seems out of it more often than not.
I just have a feeling that Biden is going to get clobbered by Trump in any debate. Not on any substance but just Trump making Biden look like a confused old man.

It depends on the state, so states you have to be registered with the party to vote in their pirmary. Some states you have an open primary where anyone can vote in them
Yep, my dad would have voted for Biden over Trump (who he voted for because he detested Hillary that much) and I'm sure he's not alone. Reagan Dems in Macomb County/Metro Detroit might have come home for Biden and pushed him over the edge in MI. PA likely stays in Biden's camp, too.
Getting Bloomberg on the debate stage killed any hopes he had at getting votes. He looked like an absolute idiot in the wakes of reasonable attacks from basically everybody (especially Warren). If he's not on that stage, all people know him from is commercials where he gets to shape the narrative. We should all be thankful he was up there.
The man didn't have the money or infrastructure to actually campaign in almost all of these states! Either he knew his name recognition from Obama was that high, or he thought he was cooked after SC.
Either way, looks like its another 4 years of Trump.
Looking forward to the time when I am no longer getting 2-3 fucking Bloomberg mailers every goddamn day.
She didn't steal them. She earned them fair and square. You're telling on yourself.
