Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden campaign predicts Texas upset over Sanders
Texas is crucial to Biden’s effort to make the Democratic primary a one-on-one contest against frontrunner Bernie Sanders, who’s expected to win the biggest state of all on Super Tuesday, California.
“I expect to win Texas,” boasted Cristobal Alex, a senior adviser to Biden and native of El Paso, Texas. “The polls don’t account for results in South Carolina, which are game-changing. ...This is more than anything a numbers game and it’s about math.”

Sanders made a swing through the Lone Star State after dominating in Nevada Feb. 20 -- right as early voting started, making prognosticators in the state predict those numbers will favor Sanders.
However, three-quarters of the electorate that cast early ballots are over the age of 40 according to Ryan Data & Research, a Texas political analytics firm that tracks early votes. That could be an advantage for Biden, who generally polls well with middle-aged and older voters.

I think Biden wins TX by 10+ pts. The rally last night and Beto's big endorsement are huge. Biden's campaign is running on all cylinders at the moment. Sanders is stuck in 2nd gear.

Having more delegates than anyone else running? Sold: American! 
If Biden can pull TX and at least get SOMEWHAT close in CA he would be in what we describe in my neighborhood as "the Cat Bird Seat."
If Warren and/or Bloomberg are also viable, all the better....
