Democrat US Presidential Nominations

Yeah but whoever makes that is an idiot.

On a serious note, if Bernie does badly today, will he pull the plug and accept defeat so the Dems can get behind a nominee and start campaigning for November rather than eating themselves? It will be incredibly selfish if he doesn't, especially given the forecast of lower than 1% chance of winning.
If the nominee is Biden they have already eaten themselves.

I feel like Bernard is a "true believer" and won't suspend his campaign even in the face of certain defeat. Of course, I could be completely mistaken.
 
I’d have thought Bigga would be posting more today with it being Super Tuesday 2.

I think it would be great if Sanders was beaten by a good margin today so his 'OnlySanders' supporters will give it up.

Yes to an extent - but its a good trial run for the full campaign and there is plenty of time to let the various camps circle round and back the winner (right Bernie?). The right VP pick will be key.
 
“The American people want normality over social democracy”


A batshit statement from Katie Hunt on NBC news.

It’s pretty dumb when what she meant to say is, “The American people want to go back to only periodically thinking about and discussing politics as opposed to having to tear their hair out and stomp the floor every single day at the last fucking imbecilic and/or frightening thing the populist President did or said.”
 
what's the reason for this?

Look, I said it was a theory, and I desperately wanted it to be right because it’s how I feel. It might still be wrong. But even in strange places, blue suburbanites are rising up to vote for Biden. And it isn’t because of Biden. It’s because the average middle class American is sick to fucking death of extremist populism. And Biden’s the alternative to Trump and Sanders, both of whom are extremist populists. And not one fuck is given whether they really are or aren’t (hint: they are). So spare me the hair-splitting. They’re perceived as such by Jane and Bob Average. They aren’t going to let complacency create chaos like they did in 16. They don’t have to vote for the unlikeable Hillary. They can pull the lever for innocuous Joe and go back to their normal lives and perhaps heal from the attendant rabble-rousing bullshit that has sapped their time, strength and mental energy, and fractured families, friendships and neighborhoods. Some of you may not like it, but I think that’s what we’re seeing. For the love of God, I hope I’m right and may it continue through November.

Sanders isn't speaking at all tonight. It seems crazy but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible if he concedes in the next day or two. There really is no path forward and he's about to take a beating in Georgia and Florida in the next set of primaries

Allegedly he's going to be in the next debate (at least as of a few hours ago) but I think you may be right.
