This might be it for Warren though. She's only getting about 23% in Mass. so far and she's trailing Bloomberg for even 3rd everywhere else.

Yeah, Warren losing Massachusetts will be humbling. She should have dropped out before as she will have less credibility if she wants to be a running mate now. You can’t claim to bring votes with you if you lose your own home state.

Biden is probably going to win this now. If he finishes Super Tuesday ahead then I think everyone should concede.

I'll just note the obvious point that when Trump is accusing the Democratic Party of ripping off Bernie, Bernie is their preferred guy to face in the election. I saw an excellent piece the other day that exposed Sanders' complete lack of success in 1000 years in the Senate and it made me realise he's a pretty hollow character.

Just like if there was 1 person who disagreed with slavery, and 9 who wanted to keep it so slavery continued to be the norm, it's absolutely that 1 guys fault nothing got done and there is still a civil rights problem because hes obviously a pretty hollow character. Those 9 guys who worked to keep the status quo, well it's not their fault at all!

Sanders should stay and fight this out to the end. Keep pushing a positive vision for America. Even if he doesn’t win this youthful groundswell will continue and influence the political landscape while opposition will fade away.

Primaries over folks- an entire 1/3 of the votes have been cast. The rest of you can just live with what the wiser folks in Iowa and New Hampshire decided.

Commentary on the ridiculousness of the process. The calls for everyone to withdraw, etc.

If we are going to keep voting as a part of the primary process, it should be done everywhere simultaneously, Democrats in later States should have the same slate of candidates to choose from as those in early States. The way it is, voters place too much import on a candidates' momentum. And the primary ends before it has even begun in 2/3 of the Nation.

Srsly? Using slavery as an analogy for a free vote?

Wow.
 
It is extremely perplexing to me that my county in Texas, a Democrat stronghold, voted heavily for Bloomberg; I expected Sanders to walk away with an easy win here. The results aren't totally in yet but it's 30% Bloomberg, 25% Sanders and 20% Biden. It's rather surprising to me . . .
 
We need a Democrat candidate running on a platform of making all pistols illegal and door-to-door confiscation. There are too many shootings.
