WASHINGTON — Today and this weekend, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris are hitting the campaign trail — but they won’t be in Iowa OR New Hampshire.

Instead, they’re stumping in California and Texas, respectively — two delegate-rich Super Tuesday states. (By the way, Harris’ visit to the Lone Star State is her first campaign trip since Beto O’Rourke’s presidential announcement last week.)

One theory of the 2020 race for the Democratic nomination is that the delegate chase in the Super Tuesday states — California (Harris’ home state), Texas (O’Rourke’s), Massachusetts (Elizabeth Warren’s), Minnesota (Amy Klobuchar’s) and Vermont (Sanders’) — will go a long way in determining the eventual winner.

The logic: If you can rack up delegates in YOUR state as well as the COMPETITION’S home states under the Democrats’ proportional allocation system, you’re going to be in good shape.

1. It's hard to win decisively with such a large field

And that goes for all candidates.

2. Agreed.

And I wouldn't be surprised in Sanders wins in Minnesota.
