4. I assume it will, because whatever reasonable resentment DNC members might feel

Feb 2020

as the result of having been repeatedly kicked in the nuts by Bernie and his campaign staff, he's at least playing at being a Democrat again for the time being, and they (and we) desperately want to beat Trump. And they'll have to try to manufacture some coattails to attach to him, since he will otherwise have none, to get down-ticket Democrats elected.

I hope to God it doesn't come to that because if it does we're screwed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bernie is polling at HALF his 2016 strength... brooklynite Feb 2020 #16

Yes, as you point out, Bernie's makin inroads with POC & young people is the KEY to Bernie's surge! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #33

And this year, Super Tuesday includes California, which used to vote in June, now votes in March. Liberty Belle Feb 2020 #35

CA had been on Super Tuesday consistently before 2012. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #38

California skews liberal. Please point me to source where Sanders self-identifies as a liberal. OneMoreCupOfCoffee Feb 2020 #44

He's certainly to the left of Bloomberg, Biden, Buttigieg and Klobucher. Liberty Belle Feb 2020 #45
