After the Nevada caucus is complete.........

101 of 3979 pledged delegates will have been rewarded.

or.... 2.5%

let's not act like the three states that have voted and written in stone who the winner will be. Nothing will even be remotely predictable until after Super Tuesday

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. The media has anointed Bernie.

Showing his rallies live now. Nobody else gets that treatment. Baring some hero patriots who rise up at the convention and take it from the socialist, Bernie will be the nominee and Dump is all but assured of a second term.

4. That's because there are so frikkin' many people lined up to see his rallies.

But the "liberal" media (MSNBC, NBC) talking heads so obviously don't want Bernie. But they'll be left in the dust by social media showing how many thousands of people are trying to get in to cheer for Bernie if they don't at least step up and show the rally.

The media is NOT pushing Bernie....they're following the parade for Bernie wishing they didn't have to cover it.

After starting with so many candidates, its so frustrating that we’re ending up with one of the only three who had no chance of beating Trump.

I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. I like his ideas very much. But the country was not literally at stake that time. Idealism is great but survival is better.

6. Where is that crystal ball that says Bernie isn't going to win?

He has a HUGE following, and his ideas are solid and what people want. He's everything that trump is not, and he's going to win if he gets the nomination because there is going to be a huge turnout to get rid of trump.

That is, unless russia hacks our voting machines. In that case, all bets are off.

8. He's got less of a following than people think. Look at Iowa, he had a "huge" following....

....and they claimed 25,000 volunteers across the state. He got only 45,000 votes. Simple math calculates that to 1.8 vote per volunteer.

So, were there really 25,000 volunteers of were they ineffective?

9. Huge turnout where?? California and NY?

We don't use popular votes to elect president if you didn't know. And for Florida, it's not even close to being competitive with the whole socialism baggage. We'll probably lose all our House races in that state. I would be shocked if Bernie even tries to compete there. Florida is off the board. We're so screwed.

I don't know who the winner will be, but I'm not filled with despair. I would of course vote for any of the candidates without reservation, except Tulsi.
