Last night Biden didn't win & Sanders didn't lose

[William769]

They were only vessels.

The big winner was the American people & the biggest loser was trump.

7. Yes, Col. Vindman was right.

I hope that when we get the White House back he is reinstated in his position along with his brother.

[lagomorph777]

19. I don't want Vindman re-instated.

I want him appointed National Security Adviser or Director of National Intelligence.

28. Oh, hells yes! Smackdown.

6. I'm sure Trump was apoplectic last night.

10. The least MF45 could be to quit doing this country untold harm while HumptyTrumpies grift.

8. Bernie folks

blame the DNC like it could grab voters and force them to vote for Biden. They ignore seeing political strategy and coalition building at work. I'm tired of them.

[MatthewStLouis]

13. Amen!

A few of my friends are ardent Bernie supporters. They have trouble understanding that many of us don't hate Bernie. We aren't "Bernie haters" specifically. We just like other candidates better. They have a very self-absorbed view when it comes to politics.

9. Thank you for posting this.

I couldn't articulate how I saw my vote yesterday here in Maine. I voted for Biden unenthusiastically, more pragmatically, believing at the final moment before filling in the bubble that Biden might better beat Trump with his totally opposite demeanor and more moderate position compared to Bernie. I support Bernie's positions on most issues and was an avid Bernie supporter in 2016. Hopefully, Biden can draw moderate republican and independents and not have too many gaffes on the way to the general and while running against Trump. I wanted a younger candidate and was excited by Harris and Buttigieg. Ending up selecting from among three old white men and Warren (I admire her greatly but didn't think she was viable going forward) wasn't very appealing. Biden must choose an incredible VP candidate to run with him. Thankfully, we have a deep bench from which to choose. Onward!

11. Yes, this was a big turnout of people wanting to get rid of Trump

Whoever is the nominee, I hope that he will beat Trump and that the coattails will be long.

12. Historian John Meacham on MSNBC just said,

voters seem to want to "postpone radical changes in order to get our footing again." Makes sense to me.

16. Noooooooo incrementalism has never worked for liberals

FDR did not take baby steps. He was the most successful liberal in history.

We need change to vast deadly and destructive right wing crazy Nazism. Not little tiny imperceptible changes to a system that is mowing us under.

No change is the status quo and it means we are fine with a liberal acting like f*cking crazy Trump.

[PWPippinesq]

26. i agree with you.

However, we first need to retake the WH, hopefully the Senate and keep the House. When I cast my vote, I didn't believe that could happen with Bernie or Elizabeth. We will need to push for a progressive/liberal VP candidate on a Biden ticket, if he becomes our Presidential candidate.

[Farmer-Rick]

27. Well, I don't think Biden with his gaffs, misstatements and long history of supporting RepubliCON

can get out the enthusiastic left to overwhelm the cheat machine. We need to get the younger voters out. They are not going to turnout for Biden.

29. Whoa, I hadn't seen this.

Damn. What is up with that. Will need to look at comparables for yesterday’s results.

[George II]

14. Good way to look at it. Now on to next Tuesday, let's close this thing out.

[Farmer-Rick]

15. Hmmmm, I was looking at Obama's and Hillary's turnout in the Democratic primary

Back in 2008. It seems 27% was good. I think some of our states are showing these high turnouts again. A very good sign.

[lagomorph777]

17. Despite Morning Joe's exultations, I agree. The CA and TX results will prove you right.

[DoubleDeuce]

18. Fingers crossed

God, I hope you're right......I am afraid the Biden gaffes of old in addition to the Senate Republicans plan for non-stop investigations into Hunter and Burisma are going to be a huge factor in the general.
Combine that with the fact that Joe has clearly lost a few steps and is having some blatantly obvious memory issues, make me fear the GOP smear machine will have a field day with the Biden campaign, which means 4 more years of tRump and the end of American Democracy.
I have never hoped to be wrong more in my life, but I am afraid this is going to be a disaster.

20. For me last night confirmed my feelings that Iowa and

New Hampshire are NOT important in the slightest to our electoral process. If the state doesn’t reflect the ethnic diversity of the country it should NOT be weighted so heavily in public opinion.

23. Woohoo for sanity!

Yay for America and our people and bad for the fascists. It was a very good night!

[IronLionZion]

24. Biden and Sanders both want good things for America

Trump definitely does not.

There are reasons why Warren is still in the fight without a snowballs chance in hell of winning the nomination. She wants to advance progressive policy in this country and build support for reforms. All of our candidates are fighting to make things better for us.

Blue Wave!
