Bernie needs tons of delegates. He won't get them by splitting the vote in states like Washinton.

It's my state. I'm almost a little surprised by this, if true. Has it been confirmed anywhere?

We had a discussion about the differences between the two. In 2016 we worked really hard for Clinton. It was a difficult loss.

Haven't been watching too much news today...partner just told me NBA cancelled their season and I see my Penguins are playing in an empty rink like you said. Who knows about baseball? I'll be shocked if March Madness continues to the end.

Trump ain't gonna be able to bullshit his way outta this one like he has his entire miserable life. Always figured something would come up sooner or later...hard to go 4 years without some crisis...financial, war, virus, terrorist attack, natural disaster. SOB was lucky he made it 3 years on autopilot.

Biden should rethink if he really wants this job because he's gonna have a big pile of steaming GOP shit to clean up...just like Obama did.
