1. Go Democrats.

[onetexan]

2. Whatever it takes to get the job done and unite Dems. Thank you Speaker Pelosi & Leader Schumer!

3. I am waiting for the Kamala Harris endorsement.

That would be big for California tomorrow.

7. She should

But I don’t think she will. Plus after her attacks on Biden during the debates, some will say she’s an opportunist hypocrite.

8. Then they don't understand politics.

[Dem4Life1102]

10. Ya think?

Of course they don’t.

[honest.abe]

9. That is ancient history now.

I think Harris is on the top of the list as VP choice.

11. Yeah, hope she's not playing brinksmanship/negotiation on this one

I have had a lot of questions about her, and a direct and unabashed endorsement some time today would help answer some of those questions.

[honest.abe]

12. Yeah, or Joe is saving her endorsement for later.

The best strategy is roll out endorsements over a period to time to maintain momentum. Although one would think this would be good time given CA is tomorrow.

4. Good.

5. doubtful it will matter

If Biden comes out with a 10 state victory tomorrow though, we will know it did!

6. About Time

13. Pelosi and Schumer know that sanders would be poison for down ballot candidates

Real Democrats do not want Kevin McCarthy become speaker due to sanders being on the top of the ballot

THE TUMULTUOUS POLITICAL CLIMATE has given fresh hope to REPUBLICANS, who were privately skeptical of TRUMP’S prediction that House Minority Leader KEVIN MCCARTHY will be the next speaker come 2021. Internal polling commissioned by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE showed that voters in districts targeted by both parties are skeptical of SANDERS -- his approval rating is 42%, and disapproval stands at 53% -- which they believe will help boost their candidates for the House. In these districts, voters prefer TRUMP, 48% to 43%. If SANDERS is atop the ticket, Republicans believe, they can credibly label every Democrat a socialist without fear of overreach.

14. Not cool

I'm leaning toward Biden, but this plays right into the narrative about the establishment being eager to stop Bernie, which will not play well with his supporters whose votes we need. And I think it's cowardly of Schumer and Pelosi to stay officially neutral but push other Democrats to support a candidate. They should not be getting involved with this.

15. The Democratic Party is a political party.

It seems to me that some folks don't understand how politics works. I'm a strong supporter of Elizabeth Warren but I understand how this is played.

16. "They hope this will substitute for grassroots organization."
