Is it time for Warren AND Klobuchar to drop out?

[brooklynite]

Klobuchar's momentum stalled after the Nevada debate, and Warren doesn't seem to be translating her debate boost into votes in Nevada. I think they should both pull out at this point.

1. No.

[musette_sf]

2. No.

[jmg257]

3. Not too soon- something just shown on MSNBC had Warren 2nd in early County Delegates.

[Srkdqltr]

4. Absoulty not!!!

Time for the men to drop out. They are the bad actors in this!!

[rzemanfl]

8. As opposed to bad spellers?

[Srkdqltr]

43. So what?

[rzemanfl]

45. Gender defense reflex. 72 years of conditioning.

Sorry. Now I need to wash socks.

[polmaven]

5. NO!

[Me.]

6. But None Of The Males?

[Evergreen Emerald]

26. Exactly.

Dang. Come-on DU....What the hell?!

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Yeah, the optics of this OP is not flattering.

[Bettie]

42. Well of course not any of the males

they are WHITE MEN! They are entitled to this, don'cha know!

But those danged womenfolk, just need to get out of their way! . (Just in case someone didn't get it)

[apcalc]

7. Maybe the old white men should drop out.

[Blaukraut]

11. This! n/t

[Srkdqltr]

12. No maybe about it. Kick the men out.

[pnwmom]

18. +1. nt

[aeromanKC]

9. Unfortunately, it won't be until after Super Tuesday when the dropping begins to happen

I say Amy, Liz, and Pete drop and support Joe (but then again, I'm biased)

But for sure, the Democratic Party needs to coalesce around one true Dem!!

[Garrett78]

10. As long as there's a prospect of a brokered convention, Warren may have an incentive to stick around

Klobuchar has too little support, particularly among POC, to really justify sticking around. Unless she really, really values the opportunity to win MN (losing MN, on the other hand, would prove embarrassing).

Buttigieg also lacks sufficient support among POC. There's really no path for him.

[Progressive2020]

13. Nope

I like both of them, especially Warren, and think that she might fare well in California and other Super Tuesday contests. If Warren and Klobuchar do not come out of Super Tuesday with a good chunk of the votes and delegates, then maybe they should consider dropping out. I feel similarly about Joe Biden and Mayor Pete. I think it is a little too early to talk about dropping out. I think Biden in particular will stay in until South Carolina, which is where he will need to make a stand and do well. If Joe doesn't come in first there, I am not confident that his campaign will survive. That said, I would not rule out anyone in the top six so far. After Super Tuesday might be a different story.

[Moderateguy]

21. This...

If a compromise has to be made at the convention, I fully expect Warren to be on the ticket

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Beside Bernie only Joe has a plausible past to the nomination.

And it gets narrower by the second.

[Tweedy]

27. How do you see that?

In actual delegates right now, the smooth talking mayor of small town America is ahead.

Joe Biden is ahead in most national polling. This is true. So, even though he Is not doing well with delegates, he could still recover.

Bernie Sanders is in second and is simultaneously "mis-speaking" about how often he speaks to president Obama (better for Bernie is he picked up the phone) & railing against the Democratic eatablishment like a real 1960's throwback dude. Rather odd moves.

Elizabeth Warren has the third most delegates. Amy Klobuchar also has delegates.

No-one yet is close to the magic number.

Your math is not making sense to me.

[Garrett78]

36. It's because Biden is the only other candidate with significant POC support.

There's no path for Klobuchar, Buttigieg or Warren. Or Steyer. Bloomberg is only seemingly in the hunt because of his money, but I think most people recognize that he's deplorable.

Warren is the only one who might have an incentive to stay in the race so long as there's the possibility of a brokered convention. But if she doesn't start getting much better results, that becomes a tough thing to do.

All eyes on South Carolina, where it's Sanders vs. Biden (with Steyer possibly playing a role).

[Moderateguy]

33. TBH I am 80% sure it will be a brokered convention at this point

[doc03]

15. Why they are both Democrats?

[pnwmom]

16. Is it time for men to shut up and wait to see how Super Tuesday works out

before they administer Last Rites?

[delisen]

17. Nevada tainted by being caucus + Putin scandal. Nt

[msongs]

19. the ones who think the democratic party is bad should drop nt

[octoberlib]

40. +1

[George II]

20. It isn't time for ANYONE to drop out until they decide to drop out.

[oldsoftie]

22. And thats the bottom line. nt

[Baclava]

23. NO! These kind of threads just make me want to support her more to fight harder!

[patphil]

24. I don't think any of the 6 major candidates should even consider it.

Besides, things are just starting to get moving; only a handful of delegates have been determined.
And, I don't see anyone being so popular that they are able to take a majority of the delegates, so it could very well be a brokered convention.
It really isn't in anyone's interest to bail out on this process, not even after Super Tuesday.
We need to see what the people want, and that's not going to be known until most of the the primaries are over.

[greenjar_01]

25. Despicable behavior as usual

[jcgoldie]

28. Is it time to stop making stupid polls?

What a joke.

[Lulu KC]

29. I would like to see four drop out

And only one is on this list.
But really, if they'd all start playing well together, I don't want anyone to drop out. I could trust the process.

[myohmy2]

30. okay...

...by me...

[handmade34]

31. a few people need to take one for team

I don't care who... the four need to do some serious soul searching and pick one of them to stay in... I don't really care who but next week will be too late

[Efilroft Sul]

35. After three states? No!

See how things shake out in the states where the voters outnumber the livestock.

[pecosbob]

37. ...nah.

They will persist, but the billionaires definitely need to go away.

[mysteryowl]

38. March 3rd will be here in just 10 days with many states voting.

I highly doubt any our current top 5 candidates will or should drop out before so many states vote. Is will be 16 states and territories with 1345 delegates.

[Owl]

39. I'm thinking we might need a Warren/Klobuchar ticket.

Or a Klobuchar/ Warren ticket. I think maybe Buttigieg should drop out.

[proud patriot]

41. No for Both

[LanternWaste]

44. Jesus. There's just no patience anymore for things to play out as intended.

Another wonderful example of the "I-require-instant-gratification" post. I think they should all stay in until they themselves decide otherwise. But what we think won't do squat.

Take direct action, not polling. That's kinda how the system works.

[MineralMan]

46. Neither will drop out before March 4.

Why would they? It's too close to the Super Tuesday election for them to drop out, anyhow. I predict that both will be going after Super Tuesday, though, having earned zero or very few delegates. They simply will be no longer relevant. I suspect that Buttigieg, and Steyer will also step away on March 4, as well. That will leave just three candidates to continue running.

[BusyBeingBest]

47. No.

[Devil Child]

48. Why Warren and Klobuchar but not Buttigieg in your question?

[Blue_Adept]

49. Christ on a cracker.

If they've got funding to keep going to promote their view, they should keep going.

This desire to cut away people vying for the position before even 10% of the voting population can get to the booth is incredibly undemocratic and demoralizing seeing it come from so many supposed Democrats around here.
