I can't see a candidate that has won first

3 states and polling very well on Super Tuesday states not being the nominee. I think we need to accept Bernie sanders will be our nominee. He is building his collation of Latino support.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He wasn't even leading in delegates until last night.

And he's performing worse than he did in 2016, in which he handily lost the nomination.

Sanders himself didn't bow out when he had no path to the nomination in 2016 -- why should his competitors bow out now when it's very likely Sanders won't win the number of delegates needed to win the nomination outright?

Biden strongly overperformed last night and SC will make or break it for him. A blowout win will give him the momentum he needs to possibly consolidate the moderates on Super Tuesday and grab the race. Anything less than a resounding win in SC, including a close win, gives Bernie all the momentum going into Super Tuesday and he likely rides that into the nomination.

And other candidates aren’t dropping out any time before Super Tuesday which continues to divide the moderate vote and works into Sander’s advantage.
