(59,943 posts)Would have been the weekend after the first set of states after SuperTuesday. On SuperTuesday, Obama was slightly ahead. Then he, not HRC, won the next set if states. In retrospect, many HRC aides spoke of how after ST, they expected the primary to be effectively over. As a result, when Obama matched her on ST they were not as well prepared for the next states. Obama was, as his team's best case was to keep ST close and then surge afterward.

(7,020 posts)And if Sanders supports the country and not himself, he'll do everything he can to help Biden win.
Tonight's debacle will backfire on Sanders, he's given up any hope of getting the White House, and of getting a Cabinet position to get any of his ideas enacted.
Warren put it best (paraphrased) - he's not gotten the things he supported passed, and never stopped anything he's opposed from happening. Leadership is not taking unpopular positions and yelling. It's fixing the problems, and that takes a team.

(28,833 posts)The claim about Sanders bringing out new voters, especially young ones, is a myth. Wasn't true in 2016, isn't true in 2020.
They did show up in larger numbers in 2018, however, when he wasn't even running.

The young didn't turn out well to vote for Bernie. Are we to believe Bernie could get them out to vote for Biden in the GE?

(8,008 posts)Or have you forgotten 2016?
I fucking hope he wins. I know he will be the nominee so hate me. I'm still a Sanders supporter because I believe in what he is calling for.
Hate me at your peril. Time to come together or have you forgotten?

(28,833 posts)Cory Booker, Michael Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Beto ORourke, John Delaney, Deval Patrick, Tim Ryan and Kamala Harris, all supporting Biden, along with 37 of the 38 members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have endorsed one of the two remaining. The voters are also overwhelmingly choosing Biden.
"Hate me at your peril."
Do you really think threats are going to accomplish anything? Word of advice: they make your assertions look a little ridiculous.

Are you now going to say Medicare for all is wrong? Put it on the record please. Own up to what you have become.

Hav
(5,969 posts)when you talk like this? First that emotional rambling and now "Own up to what you have become."
Seriously, if we want to achieve advancements in a society, we all need to agree on a common goal and how to implement it. It isn't just one side having the monopoly on the correct policies with no room for any deviation.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
TwilightZone
(28,833 posts)lol, you should really take a break and take a few deep breaths. For one, I have no idea what you think your question has to do with, well, anything. Second, just because I don't support Sanders doesn't mean I think Medicare for All is wrong.
Ever heard of Elizabeth Warren? John Conyers?
Conyers introduced a Medicare For All bill 14 years before Sanders did and every year in between. What took Bernie so long? When he did finally introduce a bill, it was a parallel bill to that of Conyers.
Warren, of course, supports M4A as well, and I think she was a better candidate than Sanders in every possible way.
