In politics, timing is everything.
That’s what former Vice President Joe Biden seemed to learn Tuesday, when after weeks of failure on the campaign trail, a great few days turned into a tide-changing wave of victories.
Tonight I am thankful the caffeinated Steve Kornacki.
The relief among the MSNBC talking heads is palpable 
I hope we can all be adults as the focus of the race narrows. We’re going to have a healthy debate over the next month. Let’s keep our minds and hearts open.
Old Joe made the difference again
The public is in full panic and ran home to daddy. So be it. At least our senile selection is not a senile, sociopathic traitor. There’s something to be said for that.
I hate to be a buzz-kill, but these outcomes with the leader getting maybe 30% of the vote? That’s not “winning” the state. Sure the guy in front gets the most delegates, but it’s not winning. 70% voted for somebody else.
All we can really say with confidence is Bloomberg lost.
Let’s Remember in November what Buttigieg said when he suspended his campaign:
“Our goal has always been to help unify Americans, to defeat Donald Trump and to win the era for our values…”
So far, it looks like the top two front runners are Biden or Sanders, regardless of who wins the Dem nomination…both Biden and Sanders are way way better as POTUS than the MYTHOMANIAC (16k+ Lies and counting) Criminal IMPeetus = So VOTEBLUE2020~
AND expect to hear again about Burisma from the RethugniCONS!
Race-Resetting Super Tuesday Tees Up A Long Fight For The Democratic Nomination
The only thing tonight teed up was Sanders’ head on a pike.
He’s one of the walking dead now - he just hasn’t admitted it yet. Biden will be a heavy favorite in virtually all the remaining big states. Sanders is done.
I’ll have to admit, my sense of relief is palpable as well. Being a dem is knowing deep down it’s always a solid possibility we can find a way to take a gift wrapped election and manage to get a staph infection from a paper cut while attempting to unwrap it. Fortunately, even the people who don’t pay attention know this election matters, and the orange wannabe gangster is a threat to our way of life.
That was Iowa, where bernie-bots claimed a victory on a 26.2 to 26.0 vote. This is now, where the current numbers are VA-53% NC-43 TX-32 MA-33 MN-34 OK-39 AL-63 TN-42 AK-40 MN-34. Ain’t seeing sub-30 pluralities there, though TX is close but that’s with 73% of the vote counted.
Rumors of the fake Burisma scandal coming back to life are true. Last week there was an article in my local fish-wrap (owned by a MAGA publisher BTW) about how the local U.S. attorney’s office was upset about being taken off serious cases for this political stunt.
Any candidate who thinks this is the year to usher in a glorious progressive future is missing the point.
If we don’t regain control of the aircraft, Trump is going to crash it.
A safe landing. That’s the only thing that matters.
What we do with the rest of our lives is irrelevant if we don"t survive Trump.
I mentioned elsewhere tonight that while health care polled as the number one voter concern perhaps it was trumped by the desire for a ‘return to normalcy’.
To paraphrase another campaign from the early 90’s; its the exhaustion stupid. People are tired of the Cheeto Jesus human pandemic. It’s degrading, embarrassing for families with children and just plain bad for the country.
A fair number of Americans agree with most of Sanders platform, essentially completing the New Deal but what we need is some normalcy and a return to sane governance. Bringing back career civil servants, national security professionals and scientists and having control of the congress can go a long way.
Yes, absolutely. We are in damage control mode. Serious progressive change will have to wait until we clean up the mess (that we created by our failure to support our party consistently).
After a catastrophe, say a hurricane, people want to rebuild their lives, not go to Disneyland.
After four years of Trump & co attacking the country people want to rebuild, not swing to another extreme.
I realized tonight that I have the same response to possibility of Bernie winning that I do living in TrumpAmerica - elevated baseline anxiety & stress, horrid insomnia, etc.
I can tell the difference between before Biden’s Sat SC win and after. 
Yes. Change on top of chaos would be disaster.
We have to right the ship first before starting on new voyage.
Yeah … but he won Somoa!
