California 2020 Primary

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

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

They were probably already paid for.

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.

Tramp. Tromp. Trimp. Tremble. Tinkle. I prefer to avoid uttering his assumed name. (He’s a Drumpf, hey?)

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

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.
