According to many sanders supporters, it does not matter that Biden is leading in the primaries because sanders and Warren's combined numbers means that sanders would be the nominee under a joint ticket concept. I think that a joint ticket of sanders and Warren never made sense and would only benefit sanders and hurt Warren. The sanders supporters pushing this ticket just assumed that Warren would let sanders be on the top of the ticket and that her delegates would help sanders be the nominee.

Evidently, the sanders campaign decided to start attacking Warren and Warren has responded. Right now, any chance of a joint ticket seems not likely which makes me smile.

With the 15% rule there will be a number of states where either Warren or sanders will not get any or many delegates. Florida is one example and so the joint ticket concept never made sense to me.
