that doesn't include the massive corrupting media assistance he had last time. Almost all those "not sures" will go to others, creating and widening leads over time.

it is district by district that has that 15% threshold. Given the way the state is gerrymandered (many AA voters are in a few districts) there might be a place or two that Sanders 10% overall would give him 15% or more in a district.

We have some very good, ethical candidates with real records of achievement, and the Sanders' campaign and his surrogates say so many negative things about them and our party that it's in our interest for him to fail and lose the attention of a muck-seeking press as soon as possible.

The Republicans and Russia aren't augmenting and broadcasting his messages for OUR benefit. Or for no reason. We must defeat the massive increasingly fascistic forces determined to take and hold our government. 2016 may have been our last best chance, or 2020. We don't know yet.

at this time in 2008? Many months from now I suspect Harris will give Biden a run for his money in South Carolina.

Most are simply looking for the candidate most likely to beat Trump. My preferred candidate is Kamala but Im about to switch to Biden because he matches up better against Trump.

He's toast.

Things sure are looking good for Biden.

I don't think he'd offer the VP slot to BS ... too divisive. And BS wouldn't take it anyway. I think he'll end up offering the VP slot to Harris.

That would be a disaster. Harris, though. If she’d do it, it’s great. Or Buttigieg, though I do so want a woman. Mayor Pete is one hell of a guy though.
