If Bernie grabbed even a 1/3 of Warren's votes, we're likely having a much different conversation this morning.

If you take out both Warren and Bloomberg Biden does even better, truth is Bernie is a god awful candidate, both tactically, he had 4 years to build a black and female base and didn't bother, and practically, his speech's are terrible, he looks and sounds like an angry old white Grandpa, hunched over the podium going on and on about the minutia of his policies that no one other than his fan boys care about.
Biden may or may not be able to beat Trump and the progressives may one day have their day (which I would like) but if last night taught us one thing its that if Bernie cant turn out the vote in his own (and I use that term loosely) party, if he cant engage black and women voters, Latinos and blue collar union voters in the Democratic Party he has absolutely no chance of beating any Republican, especially Trump.
