For those asking for "moderates" to drop out

Name the state that your preferred moderate is going to win.

Amy leads in Minnesota, which is a Super Tuesday state. Biden should win South Carolina.

What upcoming state does Warren, Pete, or Steyer actually win?

If you don’t want Bernie, you need people actually winning the Super Tuesday states.

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

who seem to not understand the process and purpose of primaries in the first place. It takes time to go through it, they should be thankful super Tuesday exists.

as a good portion of the delegates are assigned by then. My state's isn't until June! So I hope I have something left to choose from by then.

Eventually the money dries up.

Buttigieg, by the way, has the same problem. Very little support among POC.

is leading. The only ones I know of are Biden and Amy.

If people want to force others from the race, shouldn’t they show that their candidate can win a Super Tuesday state first?

I don't understand your point about him.

I like Klobuchar, and she has impressed me many times in this race, but she is done and has no path. Neither does Buttigieg. It's time for both to drop out and clear the way for those who do.

The way to stop him is by actually winning states. What state is Pete or Warren going to actually win on Super Tuesday?

You asked what states Warren, Buttigieg, and Steyer are going to win. That doesn't support your premise that people calling for moderates to drop out are wrong. Warren and Steyer are further left.

In any case, they should *all* drop out. And, sorry, but Klobuchar too.

But supporters of other candidates are doing so. If they aren’t going to win a Super Tuesday state then they should be telling their own candidate to quit. Not others.
