I just don't understand how the establishment Democrat is the "safer" pick when they have been losing for two decades outside of 2008 and have lost total control of the government to conservative interests. That line made more sense in 2000 before Gore blew it. Biden isn't even doing well enough to justify him being safe even in the context that the Democratic brand wins elections.

Old people are bad at changing their opinion once their world view solidifies and all of that happened after a lot of these supporters decided dem supporter was part of their identity.

If Biden dips any more then flip Biden and Bernie, because they're not too far apart in polling averages.

That's going to have a week to sit with the people of SC. It's why Clyburn endorsing Biden is leaking early, to try and blunt impact from Bernie's win. The Tuesday debate will probably knock Bernie around, but I don't think it will change things up that much for Bernie tbh

After ST it's gonna winnow down to Bernie, Biden, and Bloomberg. Warren will run out of money and excuses for being "Ms. Fourth Place". Bloomberg will stay in simply because he can self fund forever, ego, and the dream of rat loving Bernie at a contested convention. Biden will get first or a very close second in SC and that will be enough for the party flacks to convince their corporate donors to keep this Weekend at (haha) Bernie's situation with old sleepy Joe going until at least May.

the media is going to spend hours and hours after sc going on about how bernie is too racesexist to win, and when he sweeps california and texas they're going to to say the same thing. the media doesn't have a stranglehold on the populace, and bernie has huge support and word of mouth. his supporters are the angriest and the most involved, and you can't buy that kind of energy

Assuming Pete stays below 15% in NV, what happens to his two delegates? Are they unbound immediately for the convention?
