It's the Name Recognition™ campaign
It feels like he and the leadership of his campaign were like "well, we're ahead in the polls, and nothing is going to change that" and then worked outwards from that.
I mean, in the world of the real the grid is gonna be propped up by natural gas which isn't great carbon-wise.
Steyer, Klob, and Warren should all drop out. None of those three have a pathway to the nomination at this point. I'll admit I'm liking Warren in the debates, but people can't keep running just stay in debates. They should be running to win and when it appears there's no viable way to win the nomination, they should drop out.
The people who should stay in right now are Bernie, Butti, and Biden. And Bloomberg has one shot on Super Tuesday and if his numbers are anemic, he should drop out as well.
lmao I noticed this. you can hear it even more when pete's talking to black audiences

this poster seems like a clown
I see Rush repeating the fucking shitty claim that the virus was developed in a lab like Tom Cotton's bullshti
Actual pending results aside, the irony of Sanders supporters saying "after super tuesday, it's over" is palpable.
You know that tweet you posted isn't actually disproving anything?
I was very anti Sanders in 2016 and years after and hated that he stayed in the race after her had been clearly mathmatically eliminated months before the election.
I feel like I am being consistent with wanting others to drop out if he wins big on Super Tuesday. We need to get Trump and Pence out.
if the coronavirus breaks out in the usa, which seems increasingly likely at this point, this statement will kill people.
If he wins big, nobody can threaten him at the convention. It'll be fine. Right now, them staying in helps split the vote.
Just a screenshot verifying that the only people denying the story is Bernie and people who work for him.

Is that not a quote from Harry Reid in the second tweet?
Yep, all to downplay the political ramifications. And I'm sure this fuck was scaremongering Ebola back in the day.

Oh right ok, the story from a few days ago. Cheers.
A significant Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. would hurt the Trump administration very badly. They need to be taking it seriously if only for self-preservation.
He's got an incentive not to fear monger this time, see the last line;
Contrast with;
It's a quote that isn't a denial. He's not actually saying it didn't happen but Bernie would have been a fool to do it.
I think people need to learn to read in between the lines.
The man said that Harry Reid didn't deny it. Harry basically denied Bernie ever saying it when he said "Bernie's no fool" and squashed his story lmfao.
Yeah but if they show they're taking it seriously, and if Trump expressed even 1/10th the concern he did during 2014's ebola scare, it could harm his stock market and therefore his re-election.
He's saying he's not going to discuss their convo and then gives an opinion. It's meant to look like a denial but actually isn't.
A denial would be that this never happened.
Trump has seen people saying "Elections have consequences" when it comes to his dystopian-ass SCOTUS and he's spinning it as a positive for himself
Or maybe we could read Harry Reid's current statement that says it didn't happen.
Can you actually link to Harry Reid saying he didn't have to call Sanders to stop?
This was literally a plotline in World War Z, people downplaying the pandemic for political reasons. It'd be funny if I didn't know this quote will cause his listeners tangible harm.
You're trying too hard here, he's set up the type of person who would have done that, and saying Sanders isn't that type of person.
Harry Reid knows Bernie a lot better than any of us and his comment was pretty clear, he was never going to seriously challenge Obama.
That's the elephant in the room about basic, core expectations that a chief executive and his staff are expected to be decent at isn't a thing here from NO ONE EXPECTING IT. Either we wail about it or the base points fingers away to cover it up.
Why? Cuz Cucinnelli is up there on The Twitters, doing research like a jr. high kid not a pirmary officer of the US government. Cuz he wasn't hired to defend the nation from threats within our borders and he's shitty at it. He was hired to be a thug and he's good at it.
This is not a denial. "Bernie would have been very stupid to do it, and he didn't end up doing it" doesn't mean "It was never discussed."
I really do not get Biden's campaign. I'm sure there will be interesting post mortems on the whole thing, but I honestly do not understand it at all. Like, if you think your best states are after the first three...that's totally fine. That was true for Hillary in 2016 as well. You still have to fucking try! I do not understand how he squandered this. I do not understand how he has no money. I do not understand how he has no ads or state infrastructure in Super Tuesday states. None of it makes sense. He has people working for him who aren't total fucking morons. How do you run a campaign this badly?
One thing Biden has shown, though, is that the 2016 convention wisdom about Hillary not trying in the primary is bullshit.Biden's campaign is one who acts inevitable, one who literally does not even the bare minimum to get by. It is incredibly hard to enter as the front runner and never lose that throughout the cycle. Biden couldn't even make it through Iowa.

It does mean that people shouldn't posit tweets saying "Harry Reid didn't deny it!" like he said "No comment".
Again, the only people denying the story is Sanders and his camp.
No comment is not a denial. Plus you have multiple people confirming the story.
I'm not arguing that is was going to be a serious challenge. I'm pointing out no one has actually denied the conversations taking place but Sanders and company. It would have never been a serious challenge but it was serious enough for Obama to panic about.
