Warren can wear that to the next debate!

Double post.

Biden winning MA would be something.

I received at least 25 flyers from the Bloomberg campaign in my mailbox over the past 2 weeks.

At least he helped to keep the postal service and trash collectors busy.

Warren is viable nowhere except MA.

Her last hope is CA but it doesn't look good.

... Where she is in third place. In her home state.

Drop out, Liz.

Looks like Biden will win Minnesota. The Klobmentum mattered somewhere I guess.

Does anyone understand what happens to the delegates of the dropped out candidates in practice. I read a lot of conflicting things saying they'll be split by some formula and others saying there are mechanisms that someone can give them to the candidate they endorse. It seems pretty obvious that Buttigieg and Bloomberg would put theirs behind Biden if that's the way it works. If so, it makes a contested convention pretty unlikely.

Delegate noob question: Does each state split them proportionally amongst the candidates or does whoever have the most votes take all the delegates?

Democrats split them proportionally in most (all?) states.

This page is the best for keeping track of what's happening in the delegate race.

Proportionally by everyone over 15% overall or within each county.

Only GOP does some states winner take all.

What an odd never ending system they've come up.

Bernie actively having his supporters boo Biden seems a dumb strategy.

Were those dairy protesters crashing Biden?

[Firebot]

Watching Biden speak, and some cows jumped the stage trying to protest dairy. The reaction by the crowd was hilarious booing them off.

So turns out that reddit likes don't actually count as votes...outright pathetic showing from the so called 'youth' who claim they want change.

Carville calling for sanders to end his campaign for the good of the party is incredible

Alright boys, almost time to jump aboard the ol' Joe train!

Does Sanders have a path to victory?

629-575 is NY Times live forecast for delegate count at the end of the night and Bloomberg's delegates put him well over 50%:

Sanders seems to be way under-performing 2016, and now that the moderates have consolidated, he's not being that competitive.

This whole victim card playing in reference to the media is so tiresome. Unless there are some big changes, Sanders chances will be <10% in a couple weeks. Staying in, rallying his supporters against the establishment, blah blah blah doesn't accomplish anything but helping Trump.
