Feb 2020

but I think after Super Tuesday he might well be the inevitable nominee.

Here in California, nearly every highly involved, motivated (maybe even 'fanatical') Democrat I know is not only for him, but ready to pound the pavement and drive/drag friends and family to the polls.

All due respect to the other candidates, but only Obama and Trump are the candidates I've seen to inspire people to make their own signs and such.

Enthusiasm; you can't buy it, it's not 'due' you, it can't be requested or required by any power on earth (or at least in the United States). I like Pete, respect Liz and can't say much negative about Joe, but none of them begin to generate the 'vibes' that Bernie does, at least in my little bubble of Northern California. Maybe some of the people who utterly, desperately believe we *MUST* have a woman president and are die-hard for Liz have the same degree of 'hell or high water, no matter what, I'm voting for 'em' of the Berners

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

As they definitely shouldn't!!!! jimfields33 Feb 2020 #5

Then he is going back on his word, because he agreed those rules still_one Feb 2020 #38

I think for this I'm ok with him evolving. jimfields33 Feb 2020 #48

Like he evolved on his medical records? brooklynite Feb 2020 #54

Not sure that's in the constitution jimfields33 Feb 2020 #57

You are right it isn't. It is someone going back on his word. There is a name for that still_one Feb 2020 #62

I know. There's two items he's going to have to explain before the general jimfields33 Feb 2020 #63

I suspect you are right still_one Feb 2020 #66

I'm not sure where your are going with the "Not sure that's in the constitution" comment sdfernando Feb 2020 #69

Bazinga!! onetexan Feb 2020 #65

It isn't a question of him evolving. He was part of these rules and agreed to it still_one Feb 2020 #58

We have a long way to go to worry about this. jimfields33 Feb 2020 #61

The 70% will. n/t pnwmom Feb 2020 #11

Exactly. These rules were agreed to by all the candidates including Sanders, now he goes back on still_one Feb 2020 #37

Also, in 2016, he went to the convention with the aim of persuading enough delegates pnwmom Feb 2020 #40

Exactly. I really hope people understand what is happening. You had an excellent thread the other still_one Feb 2020 #42

re: "in 2016, he went to the convention with the aim of persuading enough delegates to switch" thesquanderer Feb 2020 #47

Your #bendtheknee approach doesn't help your candidate CalFione Feb 2020 #30

Yang should be in ANY Democratic administration The Mouth Feb 2020 #56

Assuming Biden wins South Carolina... W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #6

You can't really compare 2016 to 2020 on the Democratic side juliuswest Feb 2020 #41

The Republican primary is not comparable to the Democratic one. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #82

That is a key difference juliuswest Feb 2020 #83

nonsense CalFione Feb 2020 #23

That's complete bullshit Zolorp Feb 2020 #29

Florida alone has something like 250 delegates. Blue_true Feb 2020 #85

HE WON TWO!!! TWO!!! POPULAR VOTES!!! ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #89

I like most of the Bernie supporters here on DU, but they can be difficult to take at times. Blue_true Feb 2020 #94

Bernie is not winning the nomination Moderateguy Feb 2020 #77

I am sure Sanders supporters will attempt to get DUers to accept their version of reality. But emmaverybo Feb 2020 #78

Cool story bro. awesomerwb1 Feb 2020 #80

Are you kidding me? Blue_true Feb 2020 #84

No, Nevada is not a big delegate state...after super Tuesday, there will be a winnowing and then Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #86

If he wins both NV *and* SC, then it'll be tough to see him not winning the nomination. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #91

Unlikely... Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #95
