Harry Enten:The fact that Biden is not just winning this primary but winning it easily, along

..with beating Trump in trial heats, suggests he's where the voters are.

Link to tweet

Boom!

The People Want Joe Biden.. BS Lost Spending 3x MORE $$$$ than Biden.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders raised a massive sum in February -- more than $47 million, according to his campaign's filing Friday with the Federal Election Commission.

And he spent nearly as much: Burning through $45 million -- or more than three times the $13.1 million spent by Biden's camp in February

It Boggles my freaking mind!

What's To "ASSESS"?..

Despite the heavy spending, Sanders entered March with a substantial financial cushion of nearly $18.7 million in leftover cash, his filings show.

Sanders said this week he still was assessing the state of his campaign after the string of Biden victories had effectively closed his path to the Democratic presidential nomination.

except Bloomberg for months -- despite which he's lagging far behind Biden.

It's past time for Sanders to get out of the race and stop spending so much of his supporters' money for a hopeless run. Maybe he can refund what he has left.

because he's basically one of them. Grew up lower middle class at best and was always one of the poorest Senators in Congress with a total net worth less than many on this forum. Has only made real good money in the last 2 or 3 years with book deals and speaking engagements. Doubt being rich the last coupla years after being seriously nonwealthy for the first 75 will make him forget his roots.

Fact-checking Joe Biden's claim that he was among the poorest in government

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/oct/30/joe-biden/fact-checking-joe-bidens-claim-hes-among-poorest-g/

Can't think of a single state that Hillary won that Joe will lose. And I'd bet my left nut that PA will rejoin the Dem fold and the right one that MI will too. That leaves WI or another state to replace it...FL, AZ, OH, NC for starters. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes and Arizona has 11 so that right there alone would put Biden over the top and I'm pretty sure Arizona will vote blue this year like the rest of the Southwest. Get a couple more of those states I listed and/or one or two others I didn't mention and we're looking at an electoral blowout by today's standards. America needs a good soul back in the White House...just hope we can last long enough to make it happen.

No matter how much we butcher other languages we'll never be able to master them like this guy did English. Hard to believe I'd ever look back on this clown and wish he was back in the White House given what we have now. Just when you think the GOP can't possibly scrape any lower in the Republican barrel, they go and prove you wrong in a big way. Poor George, he sure wasn't the Worst POTUS Ever for very long...

time if he makes some news. If Bernie still want's to drag thin out, what's it going to get him? I don't think he' hurting anybody but himself & his reputation.

I haven't heard a word about what they are going to do about their convention. They have to be planning something. Has anyone heard?
