He absolutely needed a double digit win considering what else happened on Super Tuesday. I think the current estimate is he'll net 50 delegates over Biden? I think that's what Bad Nate said.

And he's 80 behind according to this Nate. Which means Sanders will still leave Tuesday being behind Biden. Not a good position considering the Florida polling.

Greg Krieg @GregJKriegNew: Jesse Jackson endorses Bernie Sanders.
He says Biden didn't reach out to him, then gives 13 reasons why he chose Sanders:

Sanders endorsed Jackson's groundbreaking 1988 presidential run. (The year, of course, that Biden made his first, tho short-lived, run.)

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday results: "One of the things I was kind of not surprised by was the power of the establishment to force Amy Klobuchar, who had worked so hard, Pete Buttigieg who had really worked extremely hard as well out of the race." https://abcn.ws/2W1ezbr

why couldn't Jesse Jackson endorse Bernie before South Carolina?
"I can't believe my plan to win with 30% didn't work!"
My exact thought, why come out now? This would've been way more useful a week ago!
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrumpWe have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus. We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!

Better to stay in and take cash from people even though you have no way of winning.
Am I not the only one who finds it condescending as fuck to assume "THE ESTABLISHMENT" could force Klob out? I feel like of all the candidates, she'd go after them with a stapler.
I hope Biden gets Kamala her own bus. She loved Mr. Bus so much. They were good friends.

A couple of question for poli era.
A. What chance does a Biden / Harris ticket have on unifying the democratic party?
B. What are the chances of a Biden / Harris ticket beating Trump in November?

If he didn't, then yeesh
Then again Biden apparently didn't reach out
Incredible, the double and triple down on the stupidest shit, and right before (proper) testing makes the numbers explode.
With the massive spike in numbers here and in the US there's no chance this doesn't cause a recession. The damage to consumer spending alone will ensure it.
It's just boilerplate Bernie nonsense.
THE ESTABLISHMENT is behind everything. Not the fact that neither of the candidates had a viable path after SC showed that the Biden confidence was still there in voters.
A. Very little - Kamala has a really bad rep among leftists and I'm not sure young black voters like her very much for her prosecutorial record.
B. Pretty decent cause people are fucking tired of Trump.
Elizabeth Landers @ElizLanders"I'm not going to speculate. We would love to have Sen. Warren's support," @BernieSanders tells @jaketapper as to why Warren hasn't endorsed him yet.

An endorsement from the man that had major issues with Obama, but using campaign ads with Obama. Amazing
Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority is in danger

Those candidates were leading when Sanders was the frontrunner lmfao
Honestly, I would prefer a Biden/Warren ticket as a unifying ticket over Biden/Harris (or honestly anyone). Not just because I prefer Warren, but I mean Warren is supposed to be well liked by pretty much everyone (except the Sanders people I suppose). I still think Warren is much better than Biden/Sanders, but if she can't be president, I think VP is next best. I mean some of the issues she ran into was that people didn't know her/questioned her electibility... so why not use VP as a stepping stone for 2024? Being VP seems to have worked wonders for Biden and Warren would still be younger in 2024 than Biden/Bernie is now.
I see people bring up Stacey Abrams, Tammy Duckworth, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rouke, Pete Buttigeig and Amy Klobuchaur as VP candidates for Biden, but honestly I still see Warren as a better choice. What do the others bring to Biden's ticket? Biden seems to already have the black vote so would Abrams really make a difference? IMO, Beto killed himself with his gun talk and Pete is just young Biden so he doesn't really help. IMO, that would leave Duckworth, Harris, and Klobuchaur. However, as noted, Klobuchar had that issue with BLM (as well as her abusive staff) so I don't know how well she works. I don't know much about Duckworth, but I do think given Biden's age, I do think it's important to have someone who has experience to take over if needed.
FWIW, I don't think Sanders/Warren is a good ticket - they are too similar and as well liked as I believe Warren is, I don't think it's enough to get moderates to fall in with Bernie.
This is great.

Unless something catastrophic happens this is going to be very close. Biden/Any VP will get millions of more votes than Trump, but the built in advantages for republicans are overwhelming. Hillary won the popular vote by nearly 3 million and it wasn't enough.
If the election had been in 2018 we'd have won, but Trump wasn't on the ballot and he inspires white turnout, and the 10-12 states that actually matter have lots of white people in them. Florida and Wisconsin aren't looking good so we have a very small margin of error here.
Honestly, I'd rate the strength of tickets as:
1. Biden/Harris - Helps soften the "oh he's just going to pardon Trump" nonsense
2. Biden/Buttigieg - Covers each other's weaknesses (white liberals vs black vote)
3. Biden/Klobuchar - Good for the midwest
4. Biden/Warren - I have some fears about any unifying power, if only because Sanders fans might see this is a snake thing.
All my personal opinion of course.

God I hope he doesn't pick Pete. I don't have quite the hatred others seem to but he's way too inexperienced and whoever Biden picks has such a massive likelihood of being the next nominee and/or becoming president. I feel like there's many more deserving of the lift and platform.
That dastardly establishment, forcing out the moderates who truly belong in the race!
If we throw Mitch out of the majority chair in November I'd find that to be almost as pleasing as defeating Trump.
I would love to see that smug fucker get stuffed down, but I'll take a simple majority if nothing else.
Put Warren on the ticket. Maybe she'll convince Joe to kill the filibuster.
Be a lot easier to kill it if she's still in the Senate!
Plus, Biden would have nothing to do with killing the filibuster in that capacity beyond bully pulpit. That falls on the Senate itself.
It's gonna be really weird for the leader of the party to disagree with his Senate majority on something like that.
I'm mostly just saying I hope someone convinces him and that I'd really like to see Warren in the White House in some capacity :/
Do you think he should pick a progressive running mate at all? I think Pressley would be a good choice.
Maybe he can pick Harris or Klob and be fine though.
That sounds....very good.
Idk if Chuck would move out of the way though...
Seems a week too late lmao. These black progressive leaders were real quiet then.
Yes. I actually like the idea of Pressley as the VP. Maybe too inexperienced, though, but I like her actually. Pretty good pick.
Independents do not like Warren. I just don't see the advantage. What does she really offer the ticket someone fresher/newer/without all that baggage can't?
The VP pick also has importance should breaking ties in the Senate be needed. Independents want trump out and warren isn't going to destroy the financial services industry.
