My prediction is that scared and weary voters will propel Biden across the primary

finish line, and then the GE one. The only way the current misadmin can win now is by cheating.

1. I don't think they're necessarily scared and weary.

I think they're motivated to vote for Democrats, just like in 2018, and dump Trump.

2018 was a referendum on Trump and the issues Democrats were focusing on - health care at the forefront. 2020 is looking to be similar.

And, yes it is.

2. The bastards will try and cheat

but if we overwhelm them in turnout, it should be irrelevant.

3. Unfortunately, cheating is no obstacle to the trump boys.

And they've done a lot to clear a path for Putin to step in and help.

4. Biden won this thing on Super Tuesday.

I am not worried about it at all and look forward to voting for Joe in November.

But the Democratic primaries? They’re over (for better or for worse), and I am on record saying that I think that Daffy Duck could beat Trump in the GE this year.

5. Biden was polling at 17%, his campaign was weak, he was short on money

No, Biden was not the bright star until the big shift of religious moderate black voters and moderate white older people went to the polls. That is what changed this. Older people vote and many older people are moderates, so the party stays moderate.

7. When we left small white caucus states Biden excelled and New Hampshire was in Sanders backyard.

When Biden arrived in democratic sort of states...he lost and badly...he never had more than 30% of any vote and the young voters stayed home. He has lost. There are more moderates/progressives than leftists.

8. "There are more moderates/progressives than leftists." Huh?

I did not know there was such a thing as a moderate/progressive. Is that a thing?
And how is a moderate/progressive different from "leftists"?
I am very confused.

16. Sanders and a fair number of his followers are not moderate nor are they progressive Democrats...

[TwilightZone]

12. "religious moderate black voters"

Just black voters. You don't need the qualifiers. In fact, they make your assertion sound dismissive and misinformed.

Black voters, in general, voted overwhelmingly for Biden.

"moderate white older people"

Same problem. It's not just "moderate white older people". It's college-educated women. It's working-class voters in Michigan and other states. It's surburban Democrats. It's left-leaning independents. It's the majority of pretty much every demographic group outside of young, white men, and even they're not showing up for Sanders in the numbers Sanders asserts.

The dismissiveness shown in your assertions is part of the problem and indicative of why Sanders isn't doing better and why it would be a horrible strategy for November. Write off groups you don't like, you lose.

13. Are you stalking me on DU?

[TwilightZone]

14. Nope.

If you'd bothered to look, you'd see that I replied in this thread before you did. I was returning to the thread to review the responses.

Are you following me around?

[mysteryowl]

15. Ah, no. If you looked you would see you replied to my thread comment.

You were all over another thread of mine yesterday, hence my question about stalking.

I can see you won't agree with my posts, so just move on.

6. Biden has won the primary...Sanders has no route to the nomination so I think you are correct.

[mitch96]

9. My thoughts are people want to return to "the sane days" of Obama and Biden is that sanity... nt

[Cha]

11. But it won't be returning.. it will be going

forward and building for our future generations.. after they fumigate the WH if Biden and Admin are so fortunate to get there.
