Watching Jeff Weaver on Andrea Mitchell's show.

[comradebillyboy]

He says Sanders can win big enough in the remaining states to win the nomination. No conciliatory gestures. Listening to Weaver it sounds like Sanders will stay in it until Joe has 1900+ delegates and then he may concede.

It's deja vu all over again.

[HarlanPepper]

1. Meanwhile

Democrats have decided on their nominee and are now focused on survival amid a national crisis. Weaver still thinks it’s the eve of the NH primary.

[comradebillyboy]

2. It was just surreal watching the Weaver interview. nt

[relayerbob]

7. That was definitely weird.

I wish I could live in an alternate reality

[Cha]

29. I know what you mean sometimes.. this one

is harsh right now for many people.

But.. No.. must deal with reality.

[George II]

4. He's delirious! Sanders is on a path to losing EVERY remaining primary and....

....has zero chance of "winning big" in any that are close. By Tuesday night he'll be more than 300 delegates behind and falling further back each week.

Andrea Mitchell should have asked him "where" they expect to "win big".

[comradebillyboy]

5. She did. Jeff just blustered.

[Sloumeau]

12. Bernie Sanders may only end up winning in the remaining caucus states.

Here is a list of the 2020 Democratic Caucus states. (* = Caucus has already been held)


Iowa*
Nevada*
American Samoa*
North Dakota*
Wyoming
Guam
Virgin Islands

[Todd79]

23. Now

That’s a list that is representative of the Democrat Party- Michael Moore

[ehrnst]

15. He's paid to go out there and do the status quo surrogate song and dance...

[Cha]

30. But Andrea Mitchell is a

But, her emails, kinda pundit.. so zero chance of that.

[showblue22]

6. Bernie didn't even win as big as he needs for the remaining states in VERMONT!

Two things here. They're either insulting the intelligence of his supporters or They're delusional.

[Cha]

31. Both?

[StevieM]

8. I think Biden will win big in all 4 states on March 17.

And then Sanders will suspend his campaign.

[Sloumeau]

13. Arizona has been mailing in ballots for weeks.

So it is possible for Bernie to squeak one out here in Arizona because there may have been a lot of votes already cast for people besides Joe Biden, and because Arizona has a decent sized Latino population.

[ehrnst]

16. The population trends older, however.

[William769]

9. I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell him.

[NurseJackie]

10. He's delusional.

[PatSeg]

11. Okay, that is just pathetic

I would feel badly for him and the campaign if they hadn't been such jerks for so long.

[ehrnst]

14. Like Karl Rove in 2012 saying to hold on... those Ohio counties hadn't been counted yet!

32. But Ohio!

[ehrnst]

43. Yep, Ohio...

Thanks!!!!

[Cha]

45. Aloha, ehrnst!

[Turin_C3PO]

17. I think Sanders will suspend next week

and endorse Biden. Prove me right, Bernie. The fate of the 2020 election depends on it.

[Cha]

33. I bet he won't.. I'd like to be

Wrong.

[ehrnst]

44. Not until the last possible minute....

[Happy Hoosier]

18. He's lying to the audience, Sanders, or both. NT

[ibegurpard]

19. That's fine

I have a feeling Joe is going to end up with the delegates he needs on the first ballot

[Blue_Tires]

20. Weaver is the mook who infamously said in 2016

that Sanders not only didn't need the black vote to secure the nomination, but they were happy to concede it to Hillary as long as they got the young vote and women vote...

So cite his "expertise" at your own peril...

[Cha]

34. Rinse and repeat.. smh

[MineralMan]

21. And then, a bit later, we heard from Joe Biden.

He makes Jeff Weaver look like an angry schoolyard bully.

The contrast is striking.

[comradebillyboy]

24. Joe's corona virus speech was excellent and a wonderful contrast to

Trump's shit show.

[Cha]

36. Ah.. thanks for that, MM

[Yavin4]

22. Weaver needs to keep those campaign checks coming in.

Gotta get paid. Bernie's campaign has become a huge side hustle.

[R B Garr]

26. +1000, side hustle is a great description.

[Cha]

37. Bingo

[R B Garr]

25. You could see Andrea's shocked face for a split second

in the camera angle when Weaver said they could make up the 53% in every contest going forward. This is just arrogance at this point. It was always that way with Weaver, but now we know where he gets it.

[Indykatie]

27. Weaver Is All About the Grift Which Ends if Bernie Drops Out of the Race n/t

[Scurrilous]

28. I expect nothing less from the 'big decisive win' winner of Iowa now nearly near Biden delegatewise.

Not stopping! Not stopping! Look at me ma, I'm not stopping! Stop. Stop. Stop. Not!

[Cha]

38. How about All The VOTERS?! I see that Happening!

[Scurrilous]

39. How about the exit polls? One near hinted at almost something that could be spun as semi favorable.

Yeah he didn't think about the voters stopping him. His bad. Assumed they were all charmed by his sack of promises and ready to pluck.

[Cha]

41. lol ikr.. those

pesky Democratic Voters.

[Hav]

35. I think what we see here is a variant of

Sinclair's “It's difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.“

[Scurrilous]

40. Nice.

[Hekate]

42. "No conciliatory gestures"-- Imagine that. All the conciliation is supposed to come from ...

... Democrats, that is, the rest of us.
