I’m hoping both Biden and Bernie emerge knotted 50-50 out of this Tuesday and the Bernie Bros lose their minds.

Not really a dirty trick, but if betting were allowed, I’d bet that if Biden wins the nomination and then again in November, that Buttigieg and Klobuchar wind up with cabinet seats or something equivalent.

I could even see one of them as the VP nominee.

Just politics as usual.

Nah, if you save them and sell them to a fu fu liberal coffee or homebrew place, they will be worth millions!

Unless Bernie ends up getting elected and you’ll be taxed on them. 😃

Anyhoo, not much analysis on the key point of this night: the Bloomy or Warren 15% mark.

I think I’m more interested in Bloomberg doing poorly than I am about who wins between Biden and Sanders.

The idea of a moderate republican billionaire doing well in an election solely due to having the money to send out one sided ads is a pretty bad sign for democracy.

Biden projected to win NC…as the polls close…

Biden performing beyond his polling numbers.

Sad that some folks like you are so vindictive towards millions of your fellow Democrats. I’m a decent guy who just so happens to disagree with you on the best candidate for the party, it’s a shame that you enjoy this kind of childish cruelty.

Ah, too bad. I know how kind Bernie bros have been. You’d better believe I’m going to gloat.

Yes, Bernie will win CA and rack up delegates there. Stopping Bernie elsewhere is great.

Okay. Shame that you’re judging me based on the actions of others, but best wishes to you nonetheless.

I’m surprised CA is so definitely projected for Bernie. I can see LA county doing that, but everyone? I’m over 45, so maybe I just don’t see that.

Anyway, off to vote for… someone. I’ll have to bring a coin to flip. 😃

Why am I watching this for hour after hour? Oh, yeah: In '64 I sat through both conventions gavel to gavel. I was ten.

Sigh. You are much worse than any BernieBro I’ve ever met. Its like you have zero self awareness.

Non-viable candidates withdraw and throw their support to the candidate most in line with their worldview. I’m shocked, shocked…
