The Bernie slide continues, Sanders down to just 8% at 538 to outright win, and has crashed out

[Celerity]

on his chances of winning a plurality as well, whilst Biden has surged to a 2 to 1 advantage (more than flipped from what it was just a short time ago)

1. ...

5. welcome to DU!

[Celerity]

9. no I just love the nation, and I am most deffo not a 'Joe'. try reading my profile

[BigmanPigman]

22. The is the second new DUer post I have read in 5 min.

The other was an Bernie Bro posting an unrelated rant in an inappropriate forum (and was alerted/removed).

[Celerity]

23. I expect a shedload inbound

[dware]

25. Yeah, I noticed that too.

They seem to be coming out of the woodwork now that Sen. Sanders is crashing in the polls.

Hmmm, I wonder what region they're from.

I suspect MIRT is busy at work today.

[NurseJackie]

27. Stand by...

[nolabear]

28. Don't they do their candidate proud?

Not establishment like us old DUers, nossir. They’ll just jump in here and tell us what to do!

[Pacifist Patriot]

36. I've noticed this too.

I've also noticed a serious uptick in jury summons over the last 24-36 hours. Every single one I've clicked on has been related to Bernie in some way or another. 100% of them.

[NurseJackie]

38. ...

[still_one]

11. You assessment is wrong. The OP from my observations tries to be objective, and usually

bases arguments that are data driven

[dware]

18. Nope, no hate,

just don't think he can win the presidency.

[wyldwolf]

24. I do. I think he's dangerous. I hope he crashes and burns today

[dware]

32. +100. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. Hmmmm...

I suspect my thoughts about this post and the credibility of its author might get me alerted on if I typed them out. So I'll just think them to myself.

[beachbumbob]

3. quite a change in fortune in a week. trump helping sanders aint helping, bernie insulting

establishment democrats aint helping.

We are the base of the democratic party, we have the money and we do vote when we are pissed.

[beachbumbob]

10. establishment did not vote for Jill stein or stayed out, lets set the record correct

just like in 2000 where the extreme left voted for Nader and gave us Bush.

facts do matter my friend

[TwilightZone]

20. The "establishment" picked up more than 30 House seats in 2018.

Apparently, many remember more about 2016 than 2018.

Which do you suppose is more relevant to 2020?

[dware]

21. Oh wow, another one.

Welcome to DU, hope you enjoy your stay here.

[LanternWaste]

29. That's the bumper sticker.

And like all bumper stickers, dramatically lacking any objective data to support it.

[still_one]

4. ............

[groundloop]

6. I have to admit that I thought Joe was finished

He's certainly made a huge turnaround recently.

[getagrip_already]

31. that was just the media at work....

Nobody who was paying attention expected either iowa or nh to mean a danged thing. NV was thrown in early this year, but is still pretty meaningless. SC and super tuesday are the real start.

MSNBC needs to make it look like bernie is the leader to keep all of his fans tuning in to hear what they want to hear and to scare the rest of the party into tuning in to make sure it isn't true.

It's corporate bs. Nothing more.

Expect trump to be a contender when the general race heats up. The last thing the media wants is a boring race.

[Moderateguy]

7. We are now counting our chickens before they hatch

after spending the last few weeks telling Bernie supporters not to do so. I don't like it one bit. Let us see the numbers tonight before we start making guesses as who has the better chance.

[Celerity]

13. I am only reporting what 538 is prognosticating nt

[LanternWaste]

30. No. We're simply speculating given the most recent data.

No one is bringing up any chickens, eggs or hatches. Except you.

[BigmanPigman]

12. So 1991 delegates is the number to win the 1st ballot?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=615943

[Celerity]

17. yes, and 2375 on the 2nd

[George II]

14. We're pretty much where we were just before the voting started in Iowa and Biden crashed....

Maybe even a little better.

As of the end of January:



As of this morning:

[BluNoMatterHu]

15. YAAASSSSS!

But the real question is, will he genuinely back the eventual nominee and do his best to convince his rapid supporters to fall in line. I don't have much faith in him. I can easily see him staying in and contesting the convention. That's what he does. Hopefully, they will see the bigger picture here and UNITE!!!

[dware]

16. ......

[NYMinute]

19. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NurseJackie]

26. Great animated gif!!! LOVE IT!!

:rofl

[Happy Hoosier]

33. GO JOE!!!

Make no mistake, we have to fight for every delegate.

[USALiberal]

35. Why the snark by adding the video? Nt

[melman]

37. Playing to the crowd

[Celerity]

41. why not? I just had watched yet another blatant homophobic attack by some bros and broettes on Pete

and was not in a good mood

[George II]

39. Lookie, lookie - according to 538 Biden has about 44% of the delegates, Sanders 34%. That gives....

...Biden the clear plurality. Interesting turn of events from Friday, eh?

[corbettkroehler]

40. These Numbers Span The Weekend (Including SC)

Cratering, my foot!

Link to tweet

[Celerity]

43. a 40 point drop in ten days on likelihood of straight winning is a cratering nt

[William769]

42. Kick & recommended.
