Let me be the first...

OK everybody... we have a front runner. Time to bring the curtain down on the primaries... climb aboard the Biden Bullet to the White House!!!

We should acknowledge this now so we can bring the party together under a true pragmatic progressive.

I actually didn’t think Sanders was the front runner before today.

Hopefully Super Tuesday will clear this up.

A lot of them spent a good deal of time telling the rest of us it was all over after Nevada.

Apparently it won't be over until it is over... and Super Tuesday might not go the way you expect it will. And, even if Bernie emerges after that with a delegate advantage... there is a long way to go.

Whoever it is, we need a true front runner soon. The dramatic increase in delegates on Tuesday will, as I said, hopefully solidify someone in front.

I’d rather Biden than Sanders, but I find your post a bit divisive.

We all need to be on board for a Dem win.

Biden might be close behind, or even leading in delegates with a huge night tonight.

Even if he led, I wouldn’t say the race is over.

this as a bit of sarcasm about the incessant postings about "it's all over" after Nevada and New Hampshire.

Did you post on their threads (dozens of them) telling them it isn't helpful?

Just wondering.

You keep on keeping on.

The two contingents on here throwing shit at each other aren’t helping the Democratic cause.

Hey, enjoy your vitriol.

I really don't care... but when they started targeting me personally... I got tired of the posts.

I mean, until now, the only thing I had against Bernie was that I thought he wouldn't win against Trump... I would be happy to support a "far left" candidate that doesn't come with all of the socialist baggage that Bernie carries around. I donated to Warren, Kamala, Amy... all of them I think could beat Trump... even after the GOP starts with the "dirt" on them.

But Bernie... nope. I think he loses big time. Not in the popular vote mind you, but in the electoral college.

And that is the only thing I have against him... at least at first... but then the Bernie whatevers (Bernie supporters?) started flinging shit at me.

I don’t consider him a Democrat, as indeed he himself doesn’t.

Sorry there’s so much animosity on this site between the two major camps here.

I just find all the poo flinging to be counterproductive, hey, y’all have at it.

I voted early today in NC, and it wasn’t for either of the old white men.
