55% of Hispanic voters in California for Bernie in the exit polling. Very good news there.

I think the Dem party realized the only way they pull back PA, MI and WI is with Biden.

For those of us who arent familiar with Alabama primary rules, how is the run-off determined? Top 2, anyone who hits a specific threshold?

If no one gets 50%, then the top 2 have a runoff, so it looks like Sessions and Tuberville. Byrne would be out. I think it could be a dead heat, but either one is projected to kill Doug Jones in November by maybe double digits.

Biden may not take PA after what he said about the fossil fuel industry.

It's over.

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.

Biden/Klobuchar is a good ticket. I'm voting for Trump, but if they beat him, I can stomach that for 4-8 years. I could just go back to just casually following politics, knowing that the people at the helm aren't going to burn the country to the ground.

I think Biden has lost it. He is the scariest Democrat. A stupid communist is better than someone with no mind at all.

Joe Biden is nothing but a delivery method for giving the presidency to his V.P. and everyone needs to keep that in mind!

Sanders is OWNING Latino voters.

Biden can beat Trump. Low info voters will flock to him and the DNC will protect him by using surrogates. This imo is the best outcome for the DNC, Buden will wrap himself in Obama's shadow.

And Biden is winning black voters...what's your point?

I dont care about either of them, I just think the cherry picking from the Bernie people is astounding.

Enter The Mooch

Warren and Bloomers are next to exit, and quickly. I don't think Biden and Bernie's supporters can be easily reconciled though.

No votes in and they have already called CA for Sanders.

MA has been called for Biden. 34-28-20 for Warren to 12 for Bloomberg with 2/3 of the vote in. ME is a few hundred votes apart with 59% in.

TX seems to be narrowing, but you don't know what precincts are in. Sanders up 27k (29-26-18% Bloomberg-12% Warren) with 32% in. 953k total votes with 32% in. Republicans 1.215 million with 36% in and no real contest (Trump 1.145 million 94%-uncommitted is 2nd with 3.5%).

And Obama will endorse him once Biden gets the nomination. But Obama endorsed Hillary, too.

What will matter is whether Bernie bros bother to vote, and how energized the Repub base is to vote for Trump, b/c Biden endorsed some pretty radical ideas in the primaries.

So far Bloomberg only beating Biden in the West-UT, CO, CA.

Dave Wasserman calling TX for Biden.

Agree. There is a significant split in the Dem party, and I don't think they can overcome the Orange Man Bad.

Lessons I have learned

Biden should push for Jim Clyburn to be the first African American Speaker of the House as a thank you. The African American vote coalescing around Biden in such strong numbers saved him

The DNC rallying around Biden as the chosen one won him MN and MA and made him even in ME with Bernie where he might eek out a small popular vote win

Latinos and Millennials are not impressed. Texas is going Bernie and Politico is calling CA for Bernie based off exit polls. If Bernie can do very well in CA he could claim a lot of momentum as the post Super Tuesday delegate leader.

Bernie's Fidel comment could come back and bite him in 2 weeks. Next week should be a bit of a draw. Bernie should do well in Idaho, Washington, and the North Dakota Caucus while Biden should dominate Mississippi and Missouri. Michigan will be a state that Bernie would want but you gotta think that Biden would be the favorite. Then in 2 weeks we have Arizona, which should favor Bernie, but then Illinois, Ohio, and Florida. Bernie may have had a chance in Florida but with his Castro comment, Biden could really dominate in 2 weeks and pull away

Wow. Now I feel like Bernie is done, which is how I felt about Biden on Friday.

BonJons, now what ya gonna do if that happens?
