23. if Elizabeth were frontrunner, it would have been harder to take it from her at convention

She has a compelling personal middle America history, is a little less polarizing, and would have moderated in the general. Taking it away from a frontrunning woman at that stage would have been such bad PR.

Elizabeth was ignored at critical times by the media, and downplayed. If Bernie gets less than 50%, the superdelegates will give it to a moderate.

Bloomberg hates her so much, I wonder if just dividing the vote enough into little pieces to throw it to the superdelegates is part of the role.

If Bernie gets nomination, I will fight for him, but I’m afraid the end game here is going to be a big mess.

If the nomination gets taken from a front-running Bernie at the convention, the Democratic Party will be in an uproar, and our nominee will be weakened by the injustice of it.

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

Now who argued he had to? LanternWaste Feb 2020 #35

It was implied. jimfields33 Feb 2020 #41

No, it wasn't.. There are lots of cheaper places than DC within a commuting distance. pnwmom Feb 2020 #44

Obama had a nasty little cheap apartment...as he and Michelle still had student loans... Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #27

And yet without a DC residence he still has $6M more net worth than Sanders. nt Doremus Feb 2020 #22

I am not part of the 1% and I am thrilled to see Senator Sanders, (Independent - VT) lose ground. NNadir Feb 2020 #4

I am right there with you. People have got to quit assuming Warren block is the same as LizBeth Feb 2020 #9

One thing Ms. Warren has that Mr. Sanders lacks, is practical accomplishments. NNadir Feb 2020 #18

Right. Who on earth awards their vote to a talker over a DOER? blm Feb 2020 #24

Good to hear that Sanders is losing ground as I want to win a general! Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #25

Sure. That's why republicans are telling each other to vote for Sanders in the SC primary. Squinch Feb 2020 #29

Sanders and Warren should not be viewed as the same, because they aren't. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #31
