Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver predicts Bernie Super Tuesday dominance [View all]Scurrilous
(38,687 posts)10. It's total bullshit.
Biden is ahead in 10 upcoming primaries after NH. Warren in two. Bernie in 5. Three of the ones he has Bernie winning have recent polls showing Bernie 20 or more points behind. Bernie is 5th in one, 4th in one, and 3rd in another. Poll numbers on 538 disprove all of this. A joke.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bernie blew the bank and wasted the efforts of 25,000 people to get .55% of delegates needed to win.

The states don't get any bigger or more diverse because you depict Biden's falling behind in them

Not hard to predict. Biden is collapsing & Mayor Pete will struggle in a lot of these states.

He very well may lose this second little homogeneous state. So? He leads in polls in TEN states
