Biden, Tulsi and Sanders will take on each other in six states holding primary contests on March 10 in what has been dubbed “Mini Super Tuesday.”
Those states are:
  • Idaho, 20 pledged delegates
  • Michigan, 125 pledged delegates
  • Mississippi, 36 pledged delegates
  • North Dakota, 14 pledged delegates
  • Missouri, 68 pledged delegates
  • Washington, 89 pledged delegates
  • Democrats Abroad, 21 pledged delegates
The six states offer a combined 373 pledged delegates.

The former vice president, who swept the South on Super Tuesday, leads in pledged delegate totals ahead of the March 10 primaries. He currently has 664 pledged delegates compared to Sanders’ 573. A nominee needs a majority, or 1,991, delegates going into the convention to win the nomination on the first ballot.

Michigan offers the greatest prize on Tuesday with 125 delegates up for grabs. A Detriot Free Press survey released on Monday showed Biden with a 24-point advantage over Vermont’s self-described socialist senator in the Great Lakes State.

Sanders held rallies in Michigan over the weekend in hopes of garnering support in the state he won in 2016, when he edged out Hillary Clinton by less than two percentage points — 49.8 percent to Clinton’s 48.3 percent.
-------------------------------------------
Make or break for Bernie if he can't compete against Biden at this point. Should be some interesting results with anger from at least one side being inevitable. I'm looking forward to seeing the race in Idaho and Washington.

If Biden is winning on every state without even campaigning in a lot of them why doesn't this mean he will be a good opponent for Trump? What's the indicator that will be a stomp, voter turnout? What's the turnout in states that had the same voting process in 2016?
Popular vote total (so far):
Democrats*:
Joe Biden: 7.2 million
Bernie Sanders: 5.8 million
Elizabeth Warren (lol): 2.2 million
Mike Bloomberg (lol^2): 2.1 million
Republicans:
Donald Trump: 7.4 million**

--
*Democrat totals taken from here, includes current predictions for March 10 races
**Trump estimate is from the current wikipedia page b/c RealClearPolitics is too lazyto track the Republican nomination vote totals

I would be remiss to not point out that, in the vast majority of cases for Trump, the primary is all but a formality, and voter turnout is literally nothing more than a guide to measure enthusiasm among his most fervent supporters. I think Weld has polled into whole integers of approval as controlled opposition in like 2 states total.

Biden is winning based on name recognition and surface level likability vs his opponents.
Those factors may be useless against the most famous man on the planet who is willing to ruthlessly publicize Biden’s flaws.
I guess we’ll know for certain soon.
 
You guys think that the dems will cancel the remaining primaries starting tomorrow? I can see that happening.

There seems to be a concerted (and understandable) push among the Biden camp to limit his appearances and the time that he actually speaks. I suspect that certain Dem establishment figures as well as the Biden camp are reaching out to Boiny and pleading a "party unity" spiel. Whether boiny accepts, I don't know, but he's bent the knee before. Frankly, it's moot, because Biden is definitely suffering some sort of cognitive decline. While Boiny might be merciful, Trump certainly won't be. They're prolonging the inevitable.

jokes aside, that level of blatant rigging won't go over well. They'll minimize Biden's press time until the convention, let everyone fall in line less they face reprisals from party headquarters next time around, and then make his VP out to be the best thing since sliced bread. Who here is old enough to remember how hip and cool John Edwards was supposed to be? It's gonna be that all over again.

I meant if Bernie drops out of the race. That’s the only way to cancel the remaining primaries.
 
I know this le libtard shit is often the occams razor but I’m just baffled that we have ended up with the majority of dems wanting Biden

can they not see that even the inherit matchup of a president vs a Vice President is so unfairly skewed in one direction even down to the subconscious perception? And Biden has such a poor stage presence he’s going to get circles ran around him by Trump during the debate.

Is there something I’m just missing that makes Biden competitive against Trump? Yeah, maybe among other dems Biden was the most electable - and he was divisive in his own party - but now you’re bringing over the other half of the nation that’s completely united into the fray.
 
Still a chance to donate to sanders before he bends the knee. If you donate enough he might be able to buy off a few hundred of Biden's delegates and make it interesting.

Remember, property is theft, none of your bank account is actually yours anyway.
Hey bro i just donated my house and the money that was supposed to be for the mortgage. Match me bro please
