2. I think banker and rich lawyers pressure on Biden is going to be sad.

wherever and upon whomever it's exerted. But at this point I don't see how Warren dropping out helps Bernie much anyhow. Her supporters were never doctrinaire "democratic socialists" in the first place, and since Bernie and his peeps have been pooping in Warren's cornflakes for weeks I don't imagine many of them will be inclined to flip to Bernie.

5. It doesn't matter now. Bernie+Warren is still going to be less than Joe's vote in most states

Only a small percentage of Bernie's supporters are nasty people but boy do those few suck up a lot of oxygen. Elizabeth Warren is accomplished, intelligent, tough and is an all-around great person and deserves far better. She deserves respsect, not hate from a small cabal of personality cultists.

She did very badly, she should drop out. Everyone else who dropped out the past week has done better than her.

With that being said, she can endorse who she wants. She might endorse Biden. Or no one. Either way, I'd like to see a nice two-person debate.

9. I think all pressure on each candidate to drop out will be unpleasant.

I wish I was single-minded and short-sighted enough to lay it all on one group, but "I can see a church by daylight..."
