Sanders just announced he'll suspend his campaign if Biden has the delegate lead going into the convention:

...as I surmised, Winester.

Perhaps his "Bros." won't be as forgiving & forgetting & will not go to the booth.

Still haven't finished in California...stopped at 57%...that's so Biden remains in the delegate lead as long as possible. The s.

Only reason a sanders made that announcement is to try to pin Biden to a similar commitment. Sanders knows he has a snowball’s chance in if it goes to super delegates. Mighty generous of him to make the offer.

yup

also they had 3-6 hour lines to vote in california. similar in texas

Sanders camp requested extension to voting hours to a judge so all could vote. it was denied and DNC did not even support that request

the fix is in

Warren and Sanders camps in talks on unification. But Warren also in talk with Biden

so much for Progressive Pocahontas

even if she makes a deal with Sanders its probably a trap. calling it now. If warren unites with Sanders it will be a trap

There are a lot of thing that should be done to make it easier to vote but in this case it was pure millennial laziness.

I still think a candidate like Biden who millennials find repulsive is re ed when there are other candidates who both moderates and millennials would like, but if Sanders failed this badly at driving millennial turnout in the primary there should be serious doubt about him doing it in the general.

[hater]

best analysis I heard so far:

yes Biden will win most states from now on. but the % wont be as high as supertuesday. which means both candidates will rack up delegates.

it will be a brokered convention and they will fight it out then

I think whoever it ends up being will see massive Democratic turnout propel them into the WH.

Per actuarial tables for a 79 year old male, the chances of dying within 4 years is 24.4%

Trump isn't that much younger, and looks to be a lot less healthy.

Whoever gets the nod will have more than a remote chance of simply dying suddenly in office of old age.

Time to be REALLY close attention to VP picks. Pence... (shudders)

one thing i have noticed is how this “lack of young people turnout” is ONLY bernies fault and ONLY bernies problem?

bernie has increased latino and young people turnout in some places - (iowa and cali and texas i believe) but


this is an ongoing problem - and IS the future of the party - for better or for worse-
but it is a Democratic problem - not just a bernie problem


and it would behoove the party to try and help bernie with turnout instead of blaming and demonizing him IMO.
