There isn’t enough Evan Williams on the planet for me to endure this shitshow.

It’s insane how many people are down to just throw Joe the nom as a career achievement award or something. He *might* do as well as Hillary—but probably not.

It’s going to be fun watching all these West Wing dickheads on their fainting couch as the GOP calls Biden a far-left socialist ad nauseam.

A Bernie vs. Biden debate is going to be tight. Easier to a majority of delegates if they're not being split 8 ways.

Christ. The man needs to win a national election and you treat him like he can't win unless someone splits the vote.

Believe in your drat candidate instead of giving up.

This. Most voters nationally STILL haven't decided yet. Bernie is good at building big, diverse coalitions. He's going to keep doing that.

It’s not that they drop out and endorse Biden because they think he will win, it is that they fear Sanders winning rather than Biden or Trump. To them, Biden wins, hey! Great! Trump wins, aw shucks, guess I’m back to grifting and making money doing jack poo poo. Bernie wins, oh poo poo, he’s going to change things around that will threaten my status quo.

Gotta say, the way Ojeda went out still hurts. I'm sure I wouldn't have wanted to vote for him for President, but I think his voice was desperately needed on the campaign stage. Man, I truly hope he gets elected to Congress one day.

Also Tulsi is gonna be running in the 2020 Presidential Race until the heat death of the universe.

Warren will stay in so she can debate for Biden, since he won't be able to do it himself. Just her constantly attacking Bernie while Biden rots on the side.

The thing is, this argument works for Klobuchar too. There was a serious chance that she was going to win Minnesota, which would hurt Bernie significantly, even if the number of delegates is much smaller. Now Bernie's gonna wind up getting like 75% of the delegates here.

So what I'm getting is, if Bernie doesn't win Texas, he can't win, and he's definitely not going to win Texas, because Texas is in the south, and so is South Carolina. Did I get all that right?
