1. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread Donkees.

2. You skipped over the fact that Bloomberg is solidly in third place...

Also that the moderates have 53% of the vote to the progressives' 47%

3. Joe should avoid further humiliations and suspend his campaign.

4. This cant be true

all I hear on the DU from Biden supporters is that Iowa & NH do not matter & mean nothing?

[Dem2]

5. Why taunt them?

6. Bloomberg within striking distance.

If Biden collapses completely I suspect most of his supporters go to Bloomberg which would propel him over Sanders.

7. Actually, according to Morning Consult 28% of Biden's supporters pick Sanders as 2nd choice

and 23% pick Bloomberg.

Those numbers are from their pre-NH poll. Considering Bernie is +4 in this new one and Bloomberg is only +1, if anything Bernie's share would likely go up. Haven't seen them post this level of detail for the new post-NH poll yet.

But we won't know Bloomberg's real position in this race until he's actually on a ballot.

8. That's surprising but perhaps many didnt think Bloomberg was for real at the time of that poll.

We shall see how this all plays out soon enough.

9. Bloomberg has yet to appear at any length in front of the cameras, in person

His ads are great but they're carefully edited and more importantly 100% focused on Trump. Soon he will have to enter the fight with the other Democrats.

If Biden does well in Nevada and South Carolina, where Bloomberg is not on the ballot, then things can quickly change.

10. "If Biden does well in Nevada and South Carolina"

Then Biden is back in the saddle.

12. That is my hope.

11. I don't believe this for a moment...but if Biden is out than Bloomberg has my vote and he will

trounce Sanders and Trump. I will never vote for Sanders in a primary only a general. I know of no Biden supporter who will support Sanders.

13. Feel free to discount the polls

but Morning Consult is polling 5,000 people a day across the US. The results I mentioned can be found here: https://morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/ Scroll down to the second choice numbers.

The 2nd choice statistics don't include the last few days' numbers, but are based on Feb 4-9.

I'm skeptical of predictive polls for anything past tomorrow, but in terms of the questions they asked and the answers they got, it is what it is, as they say.

14. He hasn't faced the GOP oppo...no way he survived this...our side doesn't have enough votes and we

won't get the indies...my goal if Sanders is the nominee is to save the House...I vote for Sanders but Trump destroys him IMHO.
