I see this as a three person race now. Probably won't change, either.

[Goodheart]

It's Warren, Biden, or Harris.

Honestly, I'd like Buttegieg as my next President, but in a primary I'd pull the lever for Warren as a more realistic choice.

1. Formidable trio....Biden, Harris, and Warren......

The Three Musketeers .........All for one, one for all.

Trump is in trouble, for he is no Cardinal Richelieu. Not even close.

2. The Race right now is....(In This Order)

1. Warren
2. Harris
3. Castro
4. Booker
5. Buttigieg

Biden is bringing up the rear and so is Sanders. It is just a matter of time before they completely drop off.

[Goodheart]

4. Biden is not bringing up the rear right now, but he has no momentum.

He will fade.

I'm going out today to buy a Warren t-shirt because that's going to serve me all the way through the general election, I believe.

5. Agreed. He'll continue to coast on name recognition...

...but if I had to guess, I don't think anyone who is not already campaigning for Biden found themselves particularly impressed by his performance.

7. How hard would this have been?:

"I was getting conflicting advice from everybody back then, black and white, rich and poor, and sometimes as a Senator you have to make hard choices. In the final analysis, though, I admit it was a mistake. And you're living proof of that, Senator Harris. "

He was very unprepared for something he should have seen coming.

[Act_of_Reparation]

9. Exactly.

Delving into pure political cynicism here, but admitting error and asking for forgiveness would have been Biden's best course of action. He would have looked the better for it, and Harris would have been more or less obligated to accept the apology.

But we all knew Biden was going to double down and whitesplain, because that's what Joe Biden does. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Harris knew exactly what Biden's response would be.

6. Totally Agree about the Warren T-Shirt....

We will have to agree to disagree on Biden at this moment --- if that's okay.

10. Biden

Like Sanders they seem to have a very dedicated block of voters. I thought Biden would have sank in the polls by now as he was riding a wave of great name recognition and warm feelings for being VP. Looks like this isn't the case. If he continues to hold the big lead he has, it might be it doesn't matter what he says his base will remain w/him.

While others will disagree, I think Biden did not do himself any favors in this debate. He seemed to be ill prepared and flashes of his temper started to show. Biden has been in public life for a long time and has a record to defend/explain. What may have been acceptable when he started his political career, isn't today and he needs to explain it or not and let the voters decide.

3. Agree. Buttiggieg is close to the pack though.

Klobuchar may get another look or two by the next debates too. I really do think Warren has knocked Sanders down for at least the moment.

8. It'll be down to two main contenders by Labour Day nt

11. Sanders, Harris, Warren After Super Tuesday

As Howard Dean recently explained, the core base of the Democratic party is young voters, women and people of color. These three senators do the best job of fomenting enthusiasm among those groups. With Sanders' yuge infrastructure from last cycle and fresh legislation which continues to make headlines and garner key support, he will drive the key debate topics, just as he did this week with Medicare For All. On Wednesday, Warren even stated publicly during her time on the debate stage, in part, "I'm with Bernie on this."

12. I think you're spot on.

The media likes to push the big field narrative and it is, but to those who have been paying attention it’s been clear for a while now.
