> [@ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness](#): > > I heard a Steyer ad on the radio this morning. Suprised the heck out of me, since mentally I’ve already put him and Gabbard in the “oh I thought they already dropped out” bin. I saw three Steyer ads (in California) on TV last night (March 1), well after he had announced that he had suspended his campaign. ---

Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden. > **[Sen. Amy Klobuchar will drop out of the presidential race, endorse Joe Biden](https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/03/02/sen-amy-klobuchar-will-suspend-her-presidential-campaign-endorse-joe-biden.html)** > > Klobuchar plans to endorse Biden at a rally in Dallas on Monday night, a day before the primary in her home state of Minnesota. ---

My sister voted early for Pete, and she is PISSED that he dropped out before the primary. ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > Sanders’ path, to dominating in California and in general if the nominee, seems contingent on GOTV of some blocs that traditionally tend to not bother: the somewhat overlapping sets of young, Hispanic, and Independent voters. > > Do you think that turnout of those groups will be higher than usual, the same, **or deceased?** Probably the last, if Team Tramp had their way. 😉 I expect a split with Bernie getting about 1.5x the delegates of Biden. We’ll see. It’s a mail-in ballot race so counts won’t be final real soon. CoViD-19 is hopefully not transmissible on permeable surfaces like ballots and return envelopes. ---

This “Tramp” thing is nowhere near as clever as you seem to think. ---

Warren seemingly has no intentions of doing Bernie the same favor that Buttigieg, Steyer and Klobuchar did Biden. ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > Interestingly voting for Warren _may_ be serving both interests of voting for your preferred candidate and decreasing the chances of it being a Sanders walk from here (per 538). Getting her over 15% and thereby receiving some delegates in states like California decreases the popular vote margin amplification in terms of delegate count. That actually helps Biden _and_ preserves Warren’s slim path at the same time. I just now voted Warren with that calculus in mind.
