Polls are showing a big win for Biden tomorrow, and it looks like Super Tuesday states will split evenly between Biden and Sanders. Bloomberg isn't looking like he'll win anything, so maybe we see him disappear Wednesday. The other 3 have no reason to stay after Tuesday, as only Klobuchar will get a state out of Minnesota, and Warren isn't even projected to win Massachusetts. If this happens, expect to see Biden run the table in all but a few states for the remainder of March. Neither will get the nomination outright, but it helps make Biden a lot closer to Bernie come July. And we already know which way the super delegates will go on the 2nd ballot. Color me relieved. I was starting to get panic attacks at the idea of Sanders winning in November.

What should he do that he hasn’t done? He was called a racist halting flights from China. Compared to other 1st world nations, we're doing well. Europe’s free migration rules are going to make it a huge challenge for them.
Do you really think if the global economy is impacted by this, people will sign up for Bernie’s plan to torch everything and start anew?

This is a big win for Trump. This solidifies a circuit split, which forces SCOTUS to act. They’ll probably support the administration in this.
I’m other news, watching Trump’s Coronavirus conference drives me nuts. The man cannot form a coherent or sensical sentence.

We'll find out for sure tuesday night, but it looks like Biden is starting to pick up steam, while Bloomberg is dropping. If Warren, Pete and Amy get out, Biden should be able to have enough delegates to be competitive at the brokered convention. I just don't see how the DNC lets Sanders ruin their congressional races and the white house to keep the AOC wing (who they're working to re-district) of the party happy.
Obama should come out this week and endorse Biden. It's their best best to neuter Sanders.

I don’t know what to think. Rumors are it was released (accidentally) from the Chinese biological weapon depot. My only resistance to the idea is that it’s not super fatal. Weapons grade pathogens have 90% mortality rates, and this clearly isn’t the case.
My understanding is those affected by it generally won’t know they have it, and dismiss it as the common cold or flu. I don’t know the solution, but events like this are going to become more common, especially as CRISPR becomes more common and affordable, rogue actors are going to create nasty viruses.

His gaffe was on November 10, 2011. He had strong polls in the summer, hitting the high 20s. But he was single digits in the weeks leading up to the debate, and stayed consistent in the single digits after. All of this is on realclearpolitics

Perry wasn’t a serious candidate. He got 10% in Iowa and 1% in N.H., getting 0 delegates. He dropped out after N.H.

So this site is showing its age. Nothing is secure (so don’t use the same password here you use for shit that matters), and spammers/bots are becoming more common. Is there any reason the backbone of the forum can’t be upgraded? Is it a money thing? I’ll gladly PayPal some money to a group fund to get the backend of the forum upgraded. Any interest in this?

One thing I dislike about Klobuchar is the double standard on her forgetfulness in public. Before Iowa, she bombed hard in that debate. Couldn’t remember the name of the female governor of Iowa or some midwestern state she was pandering to. She gets called out on it again last week, and throws a literal tantrum on stage. Meanwhile, Perry flubbed once and is still known as a dunce. If Amy wasn’t a woman, she’d be torn apart for lapses like that. They certainly have no problem attacking Biden for it.

Well, I'm not so sure. The whole phrase "Fake News" has gotten 50% of the public to believe Trump had no connection whatsoever to Russia during the campaign. He's had 6 or 7 campaign staff indicted over it
This is exactly what I mean. You’re doing Russia’s work spreading this disinformation. Can you cite a single indictment related to Russia or the campaign?
