My super tuesday speculation

Based on 538 and rcp averages and my stupid opinion...


Bernie wins: CA, CO, UT, WA, MA, VT, ME, Democrats Abroad
Biden wins: TN, AL, AR, OK
Tossups leaning Klobuchar: MN
Tossups leaning Bernie: VA and TX
Tossups leaning Biden: NC


We'll see what polls say tomorrow and how things shifted because of Saturday's events. If this happens, then after super tuesday,

Bernie would have had more delegates after super tuesday than Biden in MN, WA, NH, VT, ME, MA, IA, CO, VA, TX, DA, NV, CA, MN and UT

And Biden would be leading Bernie in delegates in TN, AL, AR, OK, NC and SC...

I'm clueless on where the delegate math will stand on this especially if some states are as close as 538 says they could be and who becomes unviable in which states with the continuous fluidity of the race.

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

Total delegates won will be about even between Sanders and Biden.

But of course we can both be right about what states are won and delegates could go absolutely any way due to how delegates are divided up.

But based on who is ahead in the 538 averages (poll averages not projections), I think it will look something like this. It's crazy since how undecideds break influences so strongly how the race turns out. And there are soooooo many undecideds!!

if Bernie wins most of the states we will win in November and Biden wins in most of the states we will likely lose in November?

Probably nothing? But the turn out from the states will be an indicator of how motivated dems are in the GE regardless of who the nominee is.

And this is all pr for him , while Bernie will win a lot more than expected. If it were only those to Bernie would get my vote after Biden already has lost to putin, trump ,and Moscow Mitch when they successfully corrupted the 2016 election, while he failed to stop them.

Democrats want a strong candidate with a positive message who will fight Trump. The Biden campaign is showing skill at messaging nuances, which is important so as not to alienate the rest of the electorate. Polls from last week are old news. Voters' minds are shifting in response to the SC outcome, and Biden got a bump from a positive speech.

Nothing like a bandwagon for people to join!

All of our polling is effectively invalid due to not including SC bump and the fallout of Pete dropping out

Funny tidbit, of the top three polling right now (Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg)... Biden is the youngest

and at NC being a "tossup"


VA is leaning heavily Biden, and NC is a lock for Biden.
