More Choices of Candidates. That's masking the real story

in the early primaries. In 2016, the two leading candidates split the early primary votes at almost 50% for each. This year, the two top candidates have about a quarter of the vote, at best.

What that means is that those early primaries are not telling much of a story. Until the field has diminished, we're not going to really know who the leading candidate is.

We'll know after Super Tuesday, because a bunch of poorly performing candidates will end their campaigns before then. And, if they don''t, the voters in the March 3 primaries will let them know they're done.

Also, there will be one new addition to the field for March 3, a candidate who is flying under the media radar right now, but who is flooding the airwaves with ads during the news hours on all networks. He'll also be on the ballot on March 3.

On March 4, there will be four candidates still standing. That's all. The rest can go home. Then, we'll begin to see who is doing the best in the primaries after that. Watch the delegate counts, folks.

1. I agree. The winner of the

Democratic nomination has not yet been determined. I'm in for the long game and winning the election come November.

2. As usual you are right on the money.

Come on guys there are 48 states left to primary. Some of you are already predicting the outcome as to who are nominee will be so I guess those 48 states do not mean anything. Newsflash: they do.
