    Yep. I think it’s very likely that Sanders will have a plurality but as long as Warren and Bloomberg stay in the race it’ll be tough for anyone to get a majority.

    Unless she comes up goose eggs tomorrow, Warren will be in for at least the next two weeks to siphon off Bernie votes. It's what the party wants, and she doesn't want Bernie to win either.

    I don't think it's about endorsements, although Biden will take all he can get, of course. I think that it's far more about the 60% of the party who aren't happy about it being Bernie and are worried about losing the down ballot even if he wins. I really don't think it's that everybody loves Uncle Joe all of a sudden, you know?

    I'm not in love with Joe Biden. But I know that Bernie will be death for the House and Senate chances. Beating Trump isn't enough if the GOP controls the legislative branch.

    Wonder what Uncle Joe promised Amy, Mayor Pete and Beto

    I can't trust an 80 year old white guy with three houses telling me about starting a revolution. Can't do it.

    Biden is merely the vessel.

    Sanders has never been a member of the Democratic Party. It's absurd we're even having the conversation that he might be nominated by it.

    Fart will not vote for a pinko. I don't care what the repercussions are.

    Yeah. It doesn't help that his cabin on the lake is worth $800k and has a guest house.

    He won't suspend his campaign and he can't read the tea leaves.

    Yeah, for sure. The thing is, 60 percent of the GOP were unhappy about Trump as the nominee but he had the base support to beat a candidate that the GOP hated. Similar situations.

    Seems to me that voters are more excited about Sanders than about Biden, but I’m curious to see how that changes, if at all, now that the pool has thinned.

    Certainly for me, this race isn't about excitement. Job 1, 2, and 3 is to beat Trump and get him out. I'm blue no matter who, and I *will* vote for Bernie if he comes out with the nomination. That said, I think Bernie is one helluva risk in a lot of ways. I really don't want to be forced into voting for him. Joe's bland, but after Trump's chaos style, I can use calm, bland, and traditional.

    Then there's this stuff. It's not bad enough that Trump is going to play the Socialist Jew card, there's a ton of stuff on Bernie, oppo that maybe the politically savvy know about but are viral memes waiting to happen once the R's crank up the smear machine. I hate to bring up the Jew part, but Trump and his Magats mastered the dog whistle long ago. They'll dance to his music.
