In the end, we have to fight. We have to defeat Trump. There's too much to lose to give up.

Looks like Bernie will be our nominee. Take a day, a week, a couple of weeks to get out of your feelings, and then proceed to work like hell to get him and other Democrats elected.

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

Nevada has 36 pledged delegates, South Carolina has 54. By next week it could all change. Even after Super Tues less than 1/3 of the delegates will have been committed for the first ballot.

There are problems once again with THIS caucus. Caucus goers are complaining when interviewed by MSNBC. After Super Tuesday we'll know who is for real. Until then, this caucus provides nothing.

Nothing will get done with a Dem Pres and the cons controlling the house and senate. That's why we need the right person for the top of the ticket.

Not at all.

On edit: "work like hell to get him and other Democrats elected"?

He's NOT A DEMOCRAT.

What people HERE decide to do has marginal impact on politics in the real world. I'll have to decide if there's any value trying to help Bernie or if I should spend my time and money trying to firewall the House.
