We all know that if Biden were ahead right now,

[pnwmom]

Bernie would drop out and clear the field ahead of Biden for Super Tuesday. Because Bernie would definitely have recognized, after 2 little caucuses and one little primary, that Biden's ultimate triumph was inevitable.

Because there isn't even any point to having 48 more events, the first few are all that matter.

Right?

[PatSeg]

1. Thanks for the Sunday chuckle!!!

[dalton99a]

2. Absolutely.

[LakeArenal]

3. He should. I'd appreciate it.

[Walleye]

4. Reality check, please.

[George II]

5. I love how the Sanders surrogates are swarming the airwaves telling people to unify. NOW.

Bookmark this. He will not get the nomination.

[dalton99a]

7. Unify now, or you are a counterrevolutionary capitalist running dog!

[George II]

9. But they were all perfectly happy dividing us up until Friday.

[KPN]

22. Pot, meet Kettle.

[melman]

26. Bazinga!

[KPN]

19. Haven't most been supporting unity for a year now?

Including Sanders supporters?

Unity doesn’t mean drop out of the race.

[George II]

25. Nope. Did you ever read Turner's tweets? Sirota's? Gray's? And what about Sanders' tweet....

...the other day saying "we're going to defeat the Democratic establishment"? That was "unity"?

[KPN]

31. What about Obama's, HRCs, Carville's, Barney Frank's, Matthews', the list goes on and on? Come on

Be objective at least.

Campaign's, their operatives, and high visibility supporters all do that stuff and always have.

Not to mention, who was "swarming the airwaves telling people to unify. NOW" the past 9 months at least?

[Cha]

44. "..unity now.."?! They have Got To Be Kidding!

[rzemanfl]

6. Good post.

BTW, none of the MLB teams who lost yesterday have a chance this season. They're just fucked and they know it.

[George II]

11. Bazinga!

[Garrett78]

33. Because that's the same. There are 2 viable candidates left.

Biden is one of them. I don't see anyone calling for him to drop out.

[Rorey]

8. But of course.

[musette_sf]

10. + 1 to the nth power!!

[stopbush]

12. I like Joe, but he's trending in the wrong direction.

I’m afraid his 2020 candidacy is going to mirror his previous runs for POTUS.

Sad, as he was really great in last week’s CNN Town Hall.

[DarthDem]

13. Oh, Instantly

So fast our heads would spin. And all supporters of Sen. Sanders would be clamoring for him to do the same, doubtless.

[yaesu]

14. must be a slow news day. nt

[W_HAMILTON]

15. The media turned the 2016 nomination into a horse race...

...even though Hillary basically mathematically eliminated Sanders from contention on Super Tuesday.

Why they are trying to crown Sanders now after just three states, when he is doing even worse than last go around when he couldn't manage a majority of delegates to win the nomination, I have no clue. Like I said, maybe they are afraid of his online supporters and don't want to get bullied in their Twitter feeds.

[AlexSFCA]

23. the media wants Sanders as nominee

[W_HAMILTON]

27. For all the talk about how everyone is biased against him...

...Ari Melber damned near seemed giddy about the results from Nevada last night.

[Hekate]

16. Riiiiiiight

[KPN]

17. Who's calling for Biden to drop out?

[melman]

21. Good question

[iluvtennis]

18. Only 3 laps of a 50 lap race have been run-race should continue. Delegate counts for each state:

[Moderateguy]

43. So the week between Super Tuesday and March 10

Will probably see the field significantly narrow

[rickyhall]

20. Super Tuesday should be all states, all primaries.

I don't like caucuses, too few voters.

[totodeinhere]

24. But in the real world we are dealing with hypotheticals do not matter.

Biden is not ahead and I don't think he ever will be. And I say this as someone who has always admired him. And I would gladly for for him in the GE but I do't think it will happen.

[thesquanderer]

28. Are there really lots of Sanders supporters calling for Biden to drop out?

Looks like a strawman to me.

[Ace Rothstein]

29. You'd have a point if anyone was calling for Biden to drop out.

Otherwise this thread makes no sense.

[jmg257]

30. Why is this a thing? Who is telling Joe to drop out?

[Squinch]

32. .

[Garrett78]

34. Most posts calling for people to drop out are coming from anti-Sanders people.

The reality is that most remaining candidates lack sufficient support, particularly among POC.

[ancianita]

35. You're right. We've got 48 more primaries to go. A lot can change.

[liberal N proud]

36. Sure he would

NOT!

[Demsrule86]

37. Great point!

[world wide wally]

38. Iowa and New Hampshire are hardly representative of the USA

[peggysue2]

39. Touche to the early prognosticators

And you made me laugh!

[johnthewoodworker]

40. So when Biden wins South Carolina will he be the subject of endless posts

of how unworthy he is because of his (insert reason), and will never win in a GE.

[Moderateguy]

42. No because Biden have been on a winning ticket in a GE

[johnthewoodworker]

45. Riding on Obama's coattails doesn't automatically translate to a GE win as the presidential

candidate.

[Moderateguy]

47. The point being that he has been a national candidate before

Unlike the other candidates in the race...

[wundermaus]

41. Let the "process" take its course...

The DNC wanted it that way, so if Bernie gets 51% of the delegates that's the end of it, right?
That's the "rules" right?
(obligatory goal post motion pending)
(Because a contested convention would be a gift to Trump, right?)
Just checking.

[cwydro]

46. Lol.

Well done.
