Pretty amazing, especially since the MSM was writing off Biden last Friday.

Looks like the Dem establishment has made a comeback.

Klobuchar might have won the candidacy for Biden. I read he didn't even step foot in that state leading up to tonight.

I was thinking Harris was going to be his VP choice but she supposedly was going to endorse him today and didn't. Now I wonder if Klobuchar might be his VP candidate.

As a Democrat, I'll pray that the CDC/NIH or whomever can find a cure for Biden's diminishing mental capabilities and keep him relevant until November.

Btw, Biden is doing this with no money, no ads, and no ground game. Bernie and Bloomie have all 3.

Also, Warren's %s tonight are keeping Bernie from winning a lot more.

That's the biggest win of the night for sure.

Unless Biden is committed to a mental hospital somewhere, I'm sure the Dems hate Trump enough to vote for anybody not named Trump.

The trick will be whether the Bernie bros will turn out for Biden, and whether Trump gets blamed for the coronavirus and stock market.

Lesson for tonight: Just because progressives are the loudest and most unhinged, it doesn't mean they are the most popular.

They have proven yet again to be a coastal fringe ideology.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but the way things are popping tonight, it looks like Bernie and Biden will easily be the last 2 standing. If neither gets a majority before Milwaukee, you know the Super Doopers are going to pick Biden.

Even if Sanders comes out tonight with more delegates, Biden is pulling a much bigger percentage than the polls indicated.

Also, Warren and Bloomie need to jump ship. Warren is dragging down Bernie, and Bloomie is doing it to Biden.

What we've seen though is there's a huge chunk of voters who are very sensitive and will sway very easily. Biden is a walking calamity, and he's gonna be on the debate stage probably with just him and Bernie. He's not gonna be able to just hide and not talk. He got away with not being attacked at all the last 2 debates, with Bloomberg getting clubbed before Nevada and then everyone pulling out knives on Bernie. Biden is about to get that treatment again, and as we've seen he has some real mental issues.

Bloomberg positioning himself to be kingmaker. He has no reason to drop out. If he keeps getting delegates in 3rd place he can extract some concessions from Biden or force a 2nd ballot

What concessions would he want from Biden? He supposedly just wants Trump to lose, and he doesn't think Bernie's agenda is good for the country.

It seems if he can't win for himself (looks bad now), the logical guy for him would be Biden, anyway.

Bernie is cleaning up on the Latino vote right now. Over 40% statewide in Texas, and I would guess it ends up being at least that in California. People are very much underestimating this voting block.

True, but if you look at delegate projections for all remaining states, both tonight and later, Bernie isn't going to make 1991 before Milwaukee, and then he's screwed, Hispanic vote or not.

Bernie took some bad beats today. He’ll win California but today was about as bad as he could have hoped. No way he gets to 50% by the convention. He is screwed.

Yep...and honestly, I think that's actually good for the Dems. Sanders wasn't going to drive people to the ballots in PA, WI, MI, NC, and VA the way they need them to win in November. Theres not telling if Biden can, but I think it's probably more like than Sanders.

Biden wins Massachusetts, with Warren third. That's incredible.

Warren lost her own state, and Biden beat Bernie in New England.

The doe eyed Bernie Bro’s are going to be distraught.

It’s going full on dumpster fire quicker than anyone could have hoped.

The DNC machine woke up and flexed. Socialists need not apply.

Oh goodness, Biden just called his wife "my little sister," then quickly said they "switched up on me." But they didn't.

VA might have been his best because of the huge margin. But MN is the biggest surprise.

I’m still amazed at all the momentum a guy mustered after winning a single primary he had been picked to win for months.
