We’ll see what happens this month. My gut tells me Biden still comes out the nominee and is able to take PA and WI from Trump. But we have 8 months to go, so who knows.

So what is Bidens presidential campaign slogan going to be? - I’m not Trump! Also Obama likes me! -
I’m trying to get my head around why people would turn out more for Biden than they did for Hillary.
A lot of political analysts are asking the same question. Especially after the attacks that hamstrung him late last year manifest again.

The batmobile is a friggin muscle car.

I loved the Nolan triolgy, but Batman using a "Wayne" tactical vehicle kind of gave his hand away to anyone in the industry. "Doesn't Batman's car look identical to the prototype Wayne Industries pitched us several years ago? We should look into their inventory control for clues."
If this story is about a young batman just starting out, it makes sense he'd have something accessible, like this Challenger, that's he's armored up with his fortunes. Tactical vehicles with explosives is something that would jump to priority #1 on the ATF's radar. A challenger makes it much more believable.

Warren needs to get out too.
Bloomberg is keeping all his staff to support Biden, so there you have it. Instant money and ground game achieved by Biden. Will Obama finally come out, or save it for July?

Don’t like the way Chris Matthews is being railroaded. He told a woman she was attractive, and never touched or propositioned her. I read his comments in a lighthearted-break the tension kind of way.
Either way, he shouldn’t go down for this. And his other comments are no different than what his own network has launched against trump. They were just directed at the left.

Pete’s endorsing Biden too.

Then there were 4. Good on Amy.

Warren says she’s staying in until the convention, hoping to win on 2nd ballot. There’s virtually no chance of a non-brokered convention. We’ll see what Bloomberg does Wednesday. Amy should drop out before Tuesday too.

I'm assuming Harris brings the black vote in. You're right she doesn't poll exceptionally well with blacks, but she has to do better than Klobuchar or Pete. I don't see Pete being picked over a woman, as I can't see their VP not being female. Trump having the first openly gay cabinet position is a real blow to the left's diversity mantra. Amy has single digit delegates, those aren't going to factor into Biden's decision. Even with Minnesota on Tuesday, she'll be capped out just under 30.

I could see Biden picking Klobuchar, though I don't know what benefit that gets him other than possibly securing the white female vote, which admittedly is very important. I still think Harris is the best bet, though Biden already has strong support from the black vote and Obama will solidify that for him.
