for the concerts to support Bernie were there to hear the music, not vote for Bernie. Remember the thread I posted about Vampire Weekend in Iowa about a month ago?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Am feeling the Burn....the Biden Burn! n/t DonaldsRump Feb 2020 #1
Eugene Robinson in South Carolina PatSeg Feb 2020 #6

Eugene Robinson also just said on MSNBC he didn't hear many good things said about Bloomberg.... Pachamama Feb 2020 #30
If Bloomberg cares about the party and the country, he would drop out. Same for Steyer. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #40
I completely agree.... Pachamama Feb 2020 #44
Is there any evidence that Bloomberg cares about "the party"? OrwellwasRight Feb 2020 #106
I forgot. He doesn't. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #116
It is quite interesting how he went from hero of the party to possibly a zero OrwellwasRight Feb 2020 #118
Well, he did commit to the Democratic party and officially registered as a Democrat aeromanKC Mar 2020 #152
Steyer just did. calimary Feb 2020 #111
Good man. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #117

Not really. Ace Rothstein Feb 2020 #5
Bernie was never going to win SC AmericanGraffiti Feb 2020 #8
He was in a virtual tie this time last week! n/t Yavin4 Feb 2020 #11
We've seen before that early polls overestimated Bernie's support there mvd Feb 2020 #18

Damn those AA voters for not knowing what's good for them! Hekate Feb 2020 #63
You know (or should know) what he meant rpannier Feb 2020 #115
That doesn't track. TomSlick Feb 2020 #119
My apologies. I re-read the above post rpannier Mar 2020 #137
If Bernie Sanders can't win SC - then he can't win the South, the Black Vote either Pachamama Feb 2020 #48
No Democrat is likely to win any state in the south. n/t Peregrine Took Feb 2020 #66
Not true. griffi94 Feb 2020 #82
this statement flies in the face of many Bernie arguments. SleeplessinSoCal Feb 2020 #98
Bullshit. Obama won Florida both times he ran. GulfCoast66 Feb 2020 #112
So are you suggesting . . . markpkessinger Mar 2020 #153
Black Americans; famous for being the nation's "establishment." Codeine Feb 2020 #93
"Establishment firewall?" I suppose Obama in 2008 was just a fluke. catbyte Feb 2020 #94
Well if he can't win the AA vote that is the backbone of the Democratic Party dem4decades Feb 2020 #105
He can't win black voters. No Dem can win without black support. brush Feb 2020 #114
You call SC an "establishment firewall" and sport an MLK avatar... SidDithers Mar 2020 #140
Disagree rpannier Feb 2020 #113
BS was there three times just this week to campaign. lapucelle Feb 2020 #126
Congrats to Biden but still only 20 delegates projected mvd Feb 2020 #7
Biden got 20 at the top squirecam Feb 2020 #10
Depends on the margins, which are still unknown mvd Feb 2020 #15
The call was immediate. squirecam Feb 2020 #23
He'll get far more than the 20 mvd Feb 2020 #120
Biden is 8 delegates behind Sanders... ahoysrcsm Mar 2020 #138
I still consider S.C. a tie. He won in the popular vote mvd Mar 2020 #142
Huh? ahoysrcsm Mar 2020 #148
I thought Bernie would do better (25%+)... congrats to Joe on an impressive win. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #103
Its SC though and they tend to lean far more to the right and Biden is probably considered cstanleytech Mar 2020 #149
Sanders has gained very little in the way of Black voters and has not brought out new voters...he Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #24
And alienated lots of voters. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #29
I wonder what the Miami Latinos have to say about Sanders. LiberalFighter Feb 2020 #38
He has done that. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #132
What I do not get is why he went back to being an Independent after he failed to cstanleytech Mar 2020 #156
100+ Black Writers and Scholars Endorse Bernie Sanders NJCher Feb 2020 #85

Yes, lets see what Tuesday brings.... Pachamama Feb 2020 #31

I predict Super Tuesday is not going to be huge delegate gain for Sanders. honest.abe Mar 2020 #143
LOL. Enjoy the next three days! DanTex Feb 2020 #3
Bernie has to show the party that he is inevitable Yavin4 Feb 2020 #9
No he doesn't. He just needs to persuade voters to vote for him. DanTex Feb 2020 #14
Bashing Democrats is not a good strategy. As a lifelong Democrat Bernie has never done anything to redstateblues Feb 2020 #22
Well, Joe Biden hasn't done anything to win me over, either. DanTex Feb 2020 #25
If so, say goodbye to the House. Bernie and AOC will take care of that redstateblues Feb 2020 #37
I doubt it. Bernie's the best candidate to beat Trump. I don't see Joe holding up. DanTex Feb 2020 #42
Hoping for five. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #78

LOL. Joe has regional appeal in the south. Hope he enjoys his weekend. DanTex Feb 2020 #21
You mean the AA base of the party? squirecam Feb 2020 #26
I mean the south. Not all African American voters are the same, you know... DanTex Feb 2020 #28
Yes. The south. squirecam Feb 2020 #34
Yes. Biden is a strong regional candidate, like I said. Doubt he'll do very well outside the south. DanTex Feb 2020 #39
I believe that your doubts were answered. nt TexasTowelie Apr 2020 #161

Per NBC exit poll, 7% were satisfied with Trump and 4% were "enthusiastic" about Trump. That's 11%! SunSeeker Feb 2020 #81
That shows how popular Biden really is. revmclaren Feb 2020 #52
I Believe That's Right DarthDem Feb 2020 #90
MSNBC says he's at 11% as of now, but it's early. He may get ZERO out of 54 delegates. Biden.... George II Feb 2020 #47
