    Bloomberg picking up delegates in 8 states is a win for him. Gives him leverage. He could end the day with the third most delegates.

    And even if Bernie is picking up a lot more younger voters, he's losing among older voters (who vote in greater numbers) to the point where its a wash.

    Doesn't help him much if the vast majority go to Biden/Sanders. He and Warren need better than expected results tonight to be viable. Both are on track to be as expected or worse.

    My 14 old is obsessed by Steve Kornacki. We aren’t too geeky of a household.

    Not at all. I hope my children are half as good at their jobs as Kornacki is.

    Agree completely - I just meant it helped justify the millions he spent on ads, unlike Steyer. Biden winning Minnesota, Maine and Massachusetts would be huge. But Bernie winning Texas and California? Probably call it a draw.

    It's not a draw tonight. It's a clean Biden win. The two biggest southern states outside of Texas, Florida and Georgia, have yet to vote, and Sanders could get shut out in each. Biden is going to be the nominee barring a health issue, which let's face it is a question for all the candidates at this point, Trump very much included. Healthiest of the oldsters seems to be Bill Weld, which reminds me I should drink more gin.

    Turnout in Virginia is up nearly double from 2016. Didn't see numbers from elsewhere.

    Dem electorate is as fired up as it was for the Midterms. And that's a great sign.

    Expect Biden Senate investigations to be opened by 8 a.m. Wednesday.

    Thankfully Trump and the courts have ruled that nobody has to comply with a Congressional subpoena any longer. Anyone served with one should just ignore it. Perhaps with a "FUCK YOU."

    AP has called Oklahoma and Minnesota, two states Sanders won in 2016, for Biden.

    Even if Bernie wins California and Texas, he doesn't get all of their delegates. Losing out on almost every other state other than Vermont, Colorado, and Utah wouldn't be a good look.

    It's the same old story for Bernie. He can win a couple of places that are ultra liberal, but he can't win large chunks of the country that are 1) Black, 2) Moderate, 3) Both.

    In my home county, Biden won easily, but he trailed both Bloomberg and Sanders after early voting.

    I've mentioned this before, but my county is as red as can be: 2,695 people voted in the D primary; 5,340 voted in the R primary - Cheeto Jesus got 5,214 of those.
