Of the 36 remaining states, Bernie won only 10 of them in 2016.
It's over.
and if Bloomberg drops out Biden is going to get a crap load of delegates in Florida.

He lost to Hillary.Stop overestimating Trump. He died a death in the 2016 debates. They are not something he is good at.
It's not the job of the voters to vote, it's the job of the candidates to convince people to vote for them.The blood is on the hands of the demographic Sanders tried to appeal to but didn't show up for him. But I'm sure Warren will be the Nader of this election.
Imagine a fight that was Bernie and Biden, seriously. I'm shocked, cause it looked like he was done, but if this was an up/down fight like 2016; Bernie would have gotten slapped harder. The country apparently isn't turning out to vote for what they say they support.
Pretty much this. The election is still 8 months from now. That's an eternity in politics.People saying anything like Biden/Bernie whoever have no hope against Trump remind of the people who kept saying Trump had no chance against Hilary. We don't know fucking shit at this stage in the game, everything is in play.
I mean, there's still the election.
California first wave exits...
Sanders 38.4%
Biden 22.9%
Warren 14.7%
Bloomberg 10.7%
Can you please elaborate? What do you mean, please give me hopeI really can't stress enough that, from a purely data-driven view, today is the best evidence we have that we are beating Trump in November.
I blame everyone convincing each other here that anyone who is not with Bernie is a piece shitIt's sad. The tribalism just pushes people to ridiculous extremes.
That his son was the one who was doing corrupt shit in ukraine, and not him.Wait... what punches can Trump throw about impeachment at Joe Biden...? Suss this out for me because I'm too daft to figure this one out.

Biden was actually ahead of Obama socially regarding Gay Marriage if memory serves me right.. He is not a flaming liberal, but his policies align fairly well with what the Obama Coalition of voters want.
Looking at the percentages Bloomberg is pulling...Biden would be kind of destroying Bernie if Bloomberg wasn't in, right?
Yeah, there was a LA Times poll last week that I think showed only Sanders viable with Warren in second at around 14%.was it one or two week ago when Bernie was the only one viable in Cali?
got so close to taking nearly every single delegate
west coast literally the best coast
Tell me how and in what way he is more conservative??
When in doubt, find a woman to blame.
OK, how does Biden want to change the status quo?Okay, now you're making a completely different argument. Biden disagrees with Sanders' political/economic policy approach; that isn't remotely the same thing as saying he doesn't want to change the status quo under Trump, he disagrees with Sanders as to how.
90% of the closed captioning in the Trump/Biden debates is just going to be *unintelligible*.
old ppl and moderates love him. plus he's basically defending obama's legacyI mean, there's still the election.
Trump plays dirty, which's why I saw people in this thread voting for Bernie.
The more I read about Biden, I don't see how he can win.
But well, you guys political system is weird so is possible I guess.
IM NOT OWNED IM NOT OWNED
The state is extremely conservative, so vastly preferring Bernie seems odd to me.
surely biden would push for that as president... :(also a gentle reminder that its time to eliminate the electoral college
Good numbers here especially if Bernie did well with the early vote

It tracks really well with the Emerson College poll released on 3/2. Looking at the polls over the last month, it looks like Biden picked up mostly Bloomberg voters, and a smattering of Buttigieg and Klobuchar voters.
Bernie is just 3 points up in Texas right now, 29.3% reporting
gap needs to widen back up
I'm not just talking about Bloomberg, look who came in second. (thank goodness it's just 6 delegates, but still, what an ugly look).
I posted this stat earlier: The 18-29 voting bloc made up 16% of voters in TX.Without youth turnout, yes. Biden is dominating the old voters just like Clinton did so Bernie either needs young voters or NEW voters to turn out for him to have a chance. Outside of California (Mainly cuz we don't know the vote breakdown), it doesn't seem that has happened tonight.
Do we have any sort of demographic numbers on the turnouts? I'm legitimately really baffled and curious as to who is turning out for Biden in these massive increased numbers. At least it speaks well for the GE but I'm still surprised.
It doesn't land quite as strong when everytime you're asked how all of this going to be paid for is met with a non answer.Maybe I'm delusional but I don't understand how a platform of
Medical Insurance for all
Reduced or free college
15 dollar minimum wage
Free Child care
Actually taxing the 1%
Is apparently a platform that doesn't """resonate"""" with voters. Can someone explain to me why this isn't popular amongst all Democrats ????
He lost to Hillary? Let me tell you, Trump's soundbites were much more memorable and overall that's what people remembered.He lost to Hillary.
She is a rhetorical beast. Everyone remembers Pokémon Go to the polls but forgets she calmly and coherently defended herself in the Benghazi hearings for what, over 12 hours?
I wouldn't let Biden drive a car if he was a dad, let alone debate 1 on 1 for two hours.
Also, kinda irrelevant.The debates don't matter anyway. We saw that was the case in 2016
Yep. They also need to realize twitter doesn't represent shit.Folks need to realize that the "they", isn't some vague Democratic establishment. It's actual voters. Actual voters are choosing Biden in the states he's winning and at some point, you have to ask why Sanders was unable to reach those people.
The same is true in the states Sanders won.
I don't know if I agree with that in the context of spending money on actually campaign infrastructure versus spending literally 0And conversely, spending a bajillion dollars doesn't ensure victory.
Honestly, that's a good thing.
Holy shit, Bloomberg got more of the black vote than Bernie. Fucking hell
