I am very surprised by the margin of victory in SC for Biden. I was expecting a much closer result like something within 10 points or so. 30+ over Sanders is pretty crazy though.

Yeah, that is a huge victory. Also, Biden's speech after this victory was the most articulate and passionate I've seen him in this campaign. He looked viable as a candidate in that moment.

It's still looking rough for him going into Tuesday, but this was as ideal an outcome as he could have hoped to achieve.

Loved Biden's speech too. So well written and his sincerity was genuine.

I’m fully on team Biden now. I flip around every day but I am on his team to the end now.

Steyer drops out. Probably won't see anyone else out until after Tuesday.

It’s probably a 10% shot, but I could see Bloomberg dropping out tomorrow and putting everything behind Biden. His two main objectives are to keep Trump and Bernie from being president. It would throw out a lot of votes that have already been cast though.

Mayor Pete needs to save the world and step down and throw support behind Biden

Yea, that was a good speech by Biden. And good on him for winning big tonight.

I still think Bernie likely ends up the nominee after Tuesday though.

Warren should drop out. Instead she went after Sanders in her speech tonight. I think she’s running to be Biden’s VP. Shes the ultimate opportunist, just gross.

And I see we have a poll, our own primary. What does the State of CP say? At least we're not a caucus.

Biden's probably a bigger liar and creep than Trump. I'm all for Bernie, even though I disagree with half of his policies. The others are slimy phonies except maybe Klobuchar and I probably wont bother voting for them if they win.

I would think it's almost statistically impossible to be bigger liar than Trump.

And he might be creepy, but until he's banging porn stars and models while his wife is pregnant or just given birth than I think Trump has him by a large margin there as well.

He has no path to the nomination now. He would do himself a lot of favours in the long term by dropping out tomorrow.

citation needed there champ. Trump has lied thousands of times, mostly about nothing. In fact, without hyperbole, Trump has lied more than he's told the truth.

WRT being a creep, shall we compare????

Centrists all coming out of the woodwork to get behind touchy-hands hair-sniffing sit-in-my-lap uncle Joe.

I don't know how anyone can see how he acts towards women and not be completely grossed out.

For some reason Joe Biden reminds me of Prince Phillip. Ugh.

Yeah I think Biden's the worst of the bunch personally. I think you'd see a lot of young people not go to the polls again with him as the nominee. It would have been a different story in 2016, but he's lost it IMO.

The original comment was that he's creepier than Trump. He's not.

Nobody said he was squeaky clean or a saint.

I mean if that's the bar for who you're willing to get behind I guess. No, only Bloomberg beats Trump on grossness, but Biden literally acts like this towards 14 year old girls.

It's just extremely, extremely gross and I would vote for Status Quo Pete before Biden. Ugh.
