Thanks Amy. History will smile.

Trump is an existential threat. There is no time for intramural discord.

Excellent! Maybe now Biden will begin a momentum that will sideline Bernie. I love Bernie and his passion. But he’s too much of a risk.

Edited to say: DONATE PEOPLE! Even if it is only $5 it can make a huge difference. Donate and donate as often as you can. If possible.

Biden/Harris 2020. Or. Biden/Abrams 2020.

Eyes on you, Bloomberg et al.

Good for Amy.

She’s a Democrat through and through.

I think there’s a non-zero chance that Warren is staying in the race as a tactical measure to scoop up delegates that would otherwise go to Sanders. Fine by me, if that’s the case.

Bernie won’t be immediately sidelined by this, but it’ll be interesting to see what a senior senator from Massachusetts does next.

Amy didn’t have a chance anymore, her campaign made no inroads into minority voters…her NH result probably damaged Warren a lot though, but otherwise she was never going to be a factor.

It looks like the moderates have decided to drop out and give the one who looks to have the best chance a clear lane to run. Bloomberg will wait until after Super Tuesday…at that point we’ll see if Bloomberg was damaged enough by Warren to step aside and put his money into winning the House, Senate, and presidency even though he will not. Warren will stay in for now, she has a clear path to run as the unity candidate between Sanders and Biden, and she will continue to draw liberal voters away from Sanders, both of which will help to keep Sanders from running away with the nomination.

Amy was never my first choice, but she gets kudos for keeping the drama to a minimum throughout her campaign.

I think the guy’s repugnant and I can’t wait until he drops out. But Super Tuesday is the first set of contests he’s in for. He’s not going to drop out before he begins.

…but the Bernie Bros will react with their usual calm demeanor rest assured…

Bloomberg…

“Look, Dude: you did good. People read the ads and saw the other ones. But we need your support, not rock-stardom. There is too much at stake.”

What’s with all of this fall-in-line BS?

No thank you. The fix is not in. Biden should not be the nominee. He is the unsafe choice.

Warren is the compromise candidate that bridges Biden and Bernie.

Of course. The absence of any evidence of a conspiracy will show a conspiracy against Bernie.

He ran because he thought Biden was going to shank it. All he’s doing now is making that more likely.

Then he’s likely going to get dragged tomorrow. This is me, but anyone still in this race (not named Biden and Sanders) are risking the worst embarrassment.
