Eugene Robinson also just said on MSNBC he didn't hear many good things said about Bloomberg.... Pachamama Feb 2020 #30

If Bloomberg cares about the party and the country, he would drop out. Same for Steyer. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #40

I completely agree.... Pachamama Feb 2020 #44

Is there any evidence that Bloomberg cares about "the party"? OrwellwasRight Feb 2020 #106

I forgot. He doesn't. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #116

It is quite interesting how he went from hero of the party to possibly a zero OrwellwasRight Feb 2020 #118

Well, he did commit to the Democratic party and officially registered as a Democrat aeromanKC Mar 2020 #152

My apologies. I re-read the above post rpannier Mar 2020 #137

If Bernie Sanders can't win SC - then he can't win the South, the Black Vote either Pachamama Feb 2020 #48

No Democrat is likely to win any state in the south. n/t Peregrine Took Feb 2020 #66

Not true. griffi94 Feb 2020 #82

this statement flies in the face of many Bernie arguments. SleeplessinSoCal Feb 2020 #98

Bullshit. Obama won Florida both times he ran. GulfCoast66 Feb 2020 #112

So are you suggesting . . . markpkessinger Mar 2020 #153

Black Americans; famous for being the nation's "establishment." Codeine Feb 2020 #93

"Establishment firewall?" I suppose Obama in 2008 was just a fluke. catbyte Feb 2020 #94

Well if he can't win the AA vote that is the backbone of the Democratic Party dem4decades Feb 2020 #105

He can't win black voters. No Dem can win without black support. brush Feb 2020 #114

You call SC an "establishment firewall" and sport an MLK avatar... SidDithers Mar 2020 #140

BS was there three times just this week to campaign. lapucelle Feb 2020 #126

Congrats to Biden but still only 20 delegates projected mvd Feb 2020 #7

Biden got 20 at the top squirecam Feb 2020 #10

Depends on the margins, which are still unknown mvd Feb 2020 #15

The call was immediate. squirecam Feb 2020 #23

He'll get far more than the 20 mvd Feb 2020 #120

Biden is 8 delegates behind Sanders... ahoysrcsm Mar 2020 #138

I still consider S.C. a tie. He won in the popular vote mvd Mar 2020 #142

Huh? ahoysrcsm Mar 2020 #148

I thought Bernie would do better (25%+)... congrats to Joe on an impressive win. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #103

Its SC though and they tend to lean far more to the right and Biden is probably considered cstanleytech Mar 2020 #149

Sanders has gained very little in the way of Black voters and has not brought out new voters...he Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #24

And alienated lots of voters. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #29

I wonder what the Miami Latinos have to say about Sanders. LiberalFighter Feb 2020 #38

He has done that. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #132

What I do not get is why he went back to being an Independent after he failed to cstanleytech Mar 2020 #156

100+ Black Writers and Scholars Endorse Bernie Sanders NJCher Feb 2020 #85

I predict Super Tuesday is not going to be huge delegate gain for Sanders. honest.abe Mar 2020 #143

LOL. Enjoy the next three days! DanTex Feb 2020 #3

Bernie has to show the party that he is inevitable Yavin4 Feb 2020 #9

No he doesn't. He just needs to persuade voters to vote for him. DanTex Feb 2020 #14

Bashing Democrats is not a good strategy. As a lifelong Democrat Bernie has never done anything to redstateblues Feb 2020 #22

Well, Joe Biden hasn't done anything to win me over, either. DanTex Feb 2020 #25

If so, say goodbye to the House. Bernie and AOC will take care of that redstateblues Feb 2020 #37

I doubt it. Bernie's the best candidate to beat Trump. I don't see Joe holding up. DanTex Feb 2020 #42

Hoping for five. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #78

You mean the AA base of the party? squirecam Feb 2020 #26

I mean the south. Not all African American voters are the same, you know... DanTex Feb 2020 #28

Yes. The south. squirecam Feb 2020 #34

Yes. Biden is a strong regional candidate, like I said. Doubt he'll do very well outside the south. DanTex Feb 2020 #39

Per NBC exit poll, 7% were satisfied with Trump and 4% were "enthusiastic" about Trump. That's 11%! SunSeeker Feb 2020 #81

That shows how popular Biden really is. revmclaren Feb 2020 #52

I Believe That's Right DarthDem Feb 2020 #90

MSNBC says he's at 11% as of now, but it's early. He may get ZERO out of 54 delegates. Biden.... George II Feb 2020 #47
