That's true. The CDC has been including the number of tested daily in their stats, and now they're not showing it which is concerning, as Susan would say.
This was quite a while back though, don't know if it would shake out the same after how Bernie performed throughout February.
I don't think people expected Klobuchar to drop out because at first glance it didn't seem to help Biden (she would take away from Bernie in MN). This is only helpful to Biden if Warren is for sure staying in to juice her to viability in more states and cut Bernie's delegate lead on Super Tuesday. Hard not to view it as co-ordinated
With only 3 other candidates left, probably 50% or more of her voters would switch over to Bernie. Probably more with her endorsement. And she polls at ~15% nationally rn. That's a huge chunk of voters.
That's certainly the CW, but I wonder how much effort and demographics factored into the SC win that might not replicate elsewhere.
Plus, we have Bloomberg and his money and lack of being on the ballot so far as an X factor.
See my post a few up about the CA delegate math. With no dropouts the moderate lane could end up with 0 delegates total even while having 50% of the votes, for the State with the highest amount of delegates.
I think with him and Bernie the key is going to be their VP pick. I think Biden from four years ago wouldn't need to reassure anyone about his age, but he sure as shit does now. Bernie has the same concerns, although he sure campaigns like he's Pete's age. I think both of our top choices are weaker than I'd like, but I could get excited for either one depending on who they pick. I think Kamala Harris, Warren or Duckworth are the ones to do it.
I struggle to believe even the most anti-Sanders people in this thread look at Biden and hope for anything more than him literally not shitting himself on stage through November and then hopefully winning the 2018 cohort by default. That seems to be the full plan. Buckle up.

People weren't expecting Biden to get 2016 Clinton-level margins in SC. It was a gamechanger.
A corrupt boring candidate who wants to keep middling dull Obama Era politics including bending over for wall street, a man who is so stuck in the past he thinks he can work with republicans and who's only hope of energizing the base is "we need to beat Trump" vs the Democratic Socialist. Good times.
100%
This isn't even nearly the biggest problem. What's super scary is that the Democratic establishment is working incredibly hard to nominate someone who hasn't earned it, who can't campaign to save his life, who can't raise funds from small donors and who can't excite anyone outside the media/elite bubble. This is a recipe for disaster.

Some may be voting early, but many of those voters aren't voting on Super Tuesday
Yeah, I agree. Moderates really, really do not like Sanders, I guess.
Faiz @fshakirAnyone who thinks Biden would be a better candidate than Bernie against Trump hasn't been watching the 10 Democratic debates.
Biden doesn't have the record, vision, excitement, coalition that Bernie does.
We need to do more than just defeat Trump. We need progressive change.

ABT, that's my #1 goal by far. It protects the SC too, and ffs that clown needs to be gone from the Office. I used to dismiss Biden but I remember a poll posted here a month or two back asking questions then showing which candidates were the best match for the answers, and iirc Biden was at or near the top for me. But again it's really just ABT for me. I have greater confidence in Biden beating Trump than Sanders, and greater confidence that we won't see a 2022 bloodbath after it.
I can't be the only one who bristles at the term "Conservative Dems."
There are no conservative dems. The closest would be Bloomberg, as he's no conservative.
Clean water is something we will all die without. Defending fracking is captain planet villainy.
Jesus talk about the perfect shit storm heading into Super Tuesday. A rebound from Biden and the collapse and endorsements of Pete and Amy is going to be a hell of a tailwind for him against Bernie.
Bloomberg is literally the only chance of blowing Biden to his knees.

After doing so poorly in debates.
Dog face pony soldier.
Terrible campaign outreach.
Biden is back to front runner status?

There will be no excuses anymore and the damage it'll do to the party may be as bad as a brokered convention imo. They might lose a good chunk of two generations to permanent apathy. Good luck ever making AZ, NC and TX blue states then. Shit, we might even lose a few D trifectas we've got going on.
mess
Oh for sure. I don't see anyone getting fired up to knock doors and make calls for Biden. Couple that with sustained attacks from the right about Hunter, and the strong possibility that he'll face some sexual harassment allegations between now and November, and he scares me.
I've got concerns about Bernie taking entire states out of play for us, but at the very least he'll have enthusiasm.
That heaven pic will never not make me laugh.
