Wow, a last minute dropout before Super Tuesday - I wonder how much people will vote for her tomorrow without knowing she is out. Will she win MN despite being out?

EDIT: Also, newest polls indicate Biden surging in CA and TX.

Those are due to Bloomberg dropping down and unrelated to Buttigieg/Klobuchar exiting the race.

For instance, in Texas Bloomberg went from 20 to 13 while Biden went from 20 to 26.

As for the one in California, Biden is actually down  2% compared to the one YouGov made 2 weeks earlier, and Bernie 2% up.

Of course, having a stronger contender ain't the best thing for Bernie... on the other hand, having less contenders also means he can get more votes, as he invariably also gets some of them

Also, that should dispell the fake notion that united Buttigieg/Klobuchar/Biden would have twice as many votes as Bernie does, so call it an upside to some degree.

I think Biden should be able to win Texas with Amy and Buttigieg dropping. Polls had him at like 2-4 points behind Bernie.

That's only the last one. In those before, the gap was over 10%, making it pretty tough for Biden to close the gap

These say otherwise.

Last two are 4 and 5 point gap. With SC momentum and moderates dropping I think Texas is up for grabs. 



Just like that Trump is the youngest man to run for president. Biden is the youngest Democrat now.

Where are the 2 and 3 point polls?

Got that confused with a national poll that came out earlier today.

O'Rourke has endorsed Biden. And now that the Biden megazord is almost complete, it seems the Democratic Party is succeeding where the Republicans failed in 2016 by creating an alternative to a populist movement seen as too extreme by the party mainstream. Or tentatively succeeding, we'll see where the votes will land after ST.

I've seen some people argue that the Dems should have turned to back Sanders like the Reps did to Trump in 2016, since he actually managed to won the election, but... let's face it, Kasich or Rubio would have stomped the shit out of Hillary Clinton (popular vote included), there'd be no Dem upsurge in 2018 with moderate suburbanites, and now they'd be cruising to reelection with 55-60% approval and the Dems would send someone to die in the general election.

So yeah, not a great precendent at all.



 

 

 

 

 

Pete, Amy and Beto have endorsed Biden. If Warren cares anything about the progressive agenda she says she cares about she'd dropout and endorse Sanders. The neoliberals and corporatists of the party are consolidating and rallying around Biden, it's been time for the progressive wing to do the same with Sanders.
