Jimmy Kimmel Live: Senator Elizabeth Warren on Coronavirus, Bloomberg, Super Tuesday & Running Mate

Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Beto converge on Dallas in all-star show of force for Biden, as centrists

Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Beto converge on Dallas in all-star show of force for Biden, as centrists rally to halt Sanders


Centrist Democrats closed ranks behind Joe Biden on Monday, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg —the freshest casualties of 2020—converging on Dallas to help the former vice president keep the nomination from Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Beto O’Rourke, the former El Paso Democrat who nearly unseated Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018, was expected to make a surprise endorsement at Gilley’s honky tonk, too.

The show of force on the eve of Super Tuesday amounted to a breathtaking turnaround for Biden as he plays catch-up with the democratic socialist, Sanders, and tries to fend off billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who has pumped more than $500 million into the race.

A landslide victory in South Carolina on Saturday revived Biden’s moribund campaign after lackluster performances in earlier contests, and he scrambled to take advantage of his “Joe-mentum."

Can you get coronavirus from drinking Corona beer? No, but the brand still takes a hit

A study released this week of about 740 beer drinkers in the United States shows that 38% of them said they “would not buy Corona [beer] under any circumstances now." Their fears are linked to the coronavirus, the respiratory illness that has infected thousands of people around the globe.

Corona is a “victim," some reports say, of unfortunate wordplay, as there is no known link between those who drink Corona beer and those who have contracted the virus. One article on medium.com even says “rumors go viral faster than the actual virus."

5WPR’s recent survey — which also shows that 16% of those studied “were confused about whether Corona beer is related to the virus” — proves that some Americans are not sure how the virus is (or is not) spread. But the confusion has created very real aftershock for Constellation Brands Inc., Corona’s parent company.

Stock for Constellation Brands Inc. has fallen steadily in the past week, including an 8% drop on Feb. 27. The market as a whole has seen a historic plunge and is finishing its worst week since late 2008.

Meanwhile, at that other progressive site

they already used the b-word and the c-word to describe Warren:

What a unifying message!

It appears that a Sanders/Warren ticket won't sit well with some.
