Super Tuesday
So far, Biden is doing pretty well. Currently Biden is well ahead; 326 to 219 delegates.However, about 1/2 the delegates are in California & Texas and those results will not be determined until later.
We may not even know the results even by tomorrow.
I suspect that Bernie will take California, but Biden could take Texas. It may be close there.
Bernie currently has the lead there with the early vote, but Biden has been gaining ground
with the later vote. Regardless, it's much too early to call either of those big numbers states.
Either way, it's evident, that despite Trump's b.s. Ukrainian smear campaign, Biden has had a nice recovery.
It's clear, that the democrat voters have paid no mind to Trump's lies. Good for them.
What else has helped Biden was Amy K dropping out and getting behind Biden.
That helped unite the democrat moderate voters.
What has been hurting Bernie, is Warren still being in the race, dividing the more liberal voters, and the elimination of some caucuses in favor of primaries.
That's ironic, because Bernie helped changed them away from being caucuses.
The bottom line, it has become a 2 man race for the Democratic nominee, and hopefully, the presidency.
There's quite a few states over the next 3 months, that will make a difference.
Bloomberg only took American Samoa.

There's the crux of the matter!!
After Super Tuesday, the list can be realistically reduced to two --
Superannuated Marxist?
Superannuated possible Dementia suffer?
I've never seen such a bizarre major party primary EVER!
As an update, it appears that Bernie has won California. Biden did get a significant number of those California delegates, but Bernie got far more. I've not seen the results for Texas yet. Seeing how Biden has been doing better in the south, it would not surprise me, if Biden came out on top in TX. Either way, both candidates are still in the race. The others are not.
I've looked into the Election Laws for Prez Qualifications & can find NOTHING requiring a Prez contender be on Social Security.
Couldn't tell it by the field of aspirants for the job, though.
It's like Prez of the U.S. is a retirement job alternative to Wal-Mart Greeter
I Don't Get It!!
There were other options ...
I tend to believe that she thought she would get more votes, and is somewhat puzzled that she didn't, especially in her home state.
If she stays in to the bitter end, then I will suspect her intentions are underhanded.
Perhaps she is positioning herself to be Bernie's VP, but won't do so until he offers it.
"Elizabeth and I are so grateful for all the hard work of everyone on this team — not only leading up to Super Tuesday, but in all the weeks and months before.
To every volunteer, donor, and supporter: Thank you for everything you’ve done.
Last night, we fell well short of our viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results. We’re still waiting for more results to come in to get a better sense of the final delegate math. And we also all know the race has been extremely volatile in recent weeks and days with frontrunners changing at a pretty rapid pace.
But we are obviously disappointed, and Elizabeth is talking with our team to assess the path forward.
All of us have worked for Elizabeth long enough to know that she isn’t a lifetime politician and doesn’t think like one. She’s going to take time right now to think through the right way to continue this fight. There’s a lot at stake for this country and the millions of people who are falling further and further behind.
This decision is in her hands, and it’s important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next.
Elizabeth believes in her ideas and in the big, structural change that is badly needed to root out corruption in Washington and will decide what she thinks is the best way to advance them.
We’ll have more soon."
It's hard to believe she hasn't dropped out. It was clear before yesterday that she had no path to victory, even more so today. If she truly is a "progressive" as she likes to say she is, she would have dropped out and thrown her might behind Bernie, just as Pete and Amy had dropped out and endorsed Joe. Does she drop out now? Maybe. But massive damage has been done. Add in her recent repeated attacks on Bernie, her acceptance of dark Super PAC money - which she previously said she would never accept - which resulted in an ad blitz ahead of Super Tuesday and ultimately took votes away from Bernie. Mic maybe you're right maybe she was a plant from the start. The Democrat establishment obviously knew from the last time round how much of a threat Bernie was and i wouldn't put it past them to have devised such a Machiavellian plan with Warren to hurt Bernie.
Things seem -- once again -- stacked against The Bern.
Motivation for the Intricate Plan possibility --
If the presence of a Socialist at the top of the ticket would jeopardize Corporate Funding 'Crats could be motivated to keep him off to get funding for contenders clear on down the ballot.
If he truly believes Socialism is The Way --
Wouldn't it make sense to align with the Socialist Party U.S.A. ...
That's why he's running as a democrat, rather than an independent.
However what 72 genders has done is make regular trans people look relatively normal. Going from man to woman or woman to man without the 70 other genders is now a position that Piers Morgan defends. Consolidate your position.
