Donna Brazile: Biden comeback "most impressive 72 hours I've ever seen in U.S. politics"

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/485878-donna-brazile-calls-biden-comeback-most-impressive-72-hours-of-politics


Fox News contributor and former interim Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Donna Brazile late Tuesday called Joe Biden’s comeback in the Democratic presidential the “most impressive 72 hours I’ve ever seen in U.S. politics.”

Brazile called the former vice president's unexpected win in Massachusetts the climax to an impressive performance on Super Tuesday.

"A candidate who was simply hanging by his little bit of supporters came back," Brazile said during the network's coverage.

Brazile said she was most shocked by his "impressive wins tonight, in states that I didn't even think Joe Biden had a presence in.”

took delight in their opinion that it was over for Biden based on three primaries. Two of the primaries were caucuses that don't reflect all voters. Yesterday proved them all wrong and I take great delight in rubbing their faces in it. I'm sure it will continue for Biden in the rest of the primaries. The people, not the pundits, have spoken.
I never lost faith in Biden and cant wait until he takes his place in the White House.

We're all getting a little tired of it. They want to control the narrative and keep the horserace going. Even this morning some of them are pushing the "but can Biden keep the momentum up into next week" meme. I'm so over the mainstream media as are many.

It mainly all happened organically. Biden didn't have a turnout machine in Texas, NC, or really anywhere. The core constituencies of our party decided, on their own and without much prompting from the candidate, that this was the man they wanted carrying the mantle against trump this fall. In an age of digital fingerprinting, microtargeting and intensive turnout operations, and where for 2 other candidates money and organization were huge assets, that's incredibly remarkable.

When out of the blue, a large group of people decided to do the right thing all at once.

What stopped Donald Trump??

The Great Common Sensing did. That's what.
