2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

Also I’m getting pretty fuckin sick of all the ethnic food in Delhi

If I never eat another lentil it’ll be too soon
 
Y'alls obsession with the term "ethnic food" really shows how out of touch you are with mainstream America
 
 
Democrats should drop delegates all together and go with the popular vote in the primaries.

Not sure what the point of your post is.
 
Oh that Bernie should win the primary. Thought that was clear.

You could say this about plenty of terms you wouldn’t say now but you may have used freely until you knew better.

Did Bernie know the rules for this 2020 Iowa Caucus? If he did, he should have tried to get more delegates as Pete apparently did

then, after the Caucus is over, everyone can try to get the rules changed for next time if they so desire

That’s how it works.

If the current results hold, I would hope reasonable people could just call it a tie and move on. That may be asking too much though.

yeah i don't understand the whining. Didn't we all learn about this problem in 2016 when Hillary lost?
 
So we are going on 36 hours since the Iowa Caucus results should have been 100% reported.

There were 1765 caucuses in which dozens to hundreds of people stood in some spot in a room to declare support for a candidate and people counted. Then they did it again and people counted. Then people wrote down the results. How has this taken almost 36 hours to report? They could have just driven to Des Moines with the info by now.

It'll never happen, but a Biden/Sanders ticket would have some appeal. Moderate dems could feel safe voting for Biden to get rid of Trump, and progressives would hopefully turn out to finally put Bernie in the white house. And Bernie could keep holding huge rallies to drive turnout, promising the whole time that, when elected, he'll push the administration to be more progressive (i.e., I can get more done for our agenda as VP than as a senator, which is probably true).

Biden has no appeal. He can’t even guarantee a ChrisL vote. He can’t even get an endorsement from Obama. He’s toast.
 
In thinking about the big picture result of IA, it's pretty clear that it's time for Klobuchar, Steyer, Yang and Gabbard need to go bye bye. Gabbard will likely endorse Sanders, it doesn't matter who Yang and Steyer endorse, and Klobuchar may or may not endorse Biden or Buttigieg (she might hold off if Biden is shaky). The last 3 haven't moved the needle at all, and though Klobuchar has moved the needle some, IA was her best chance for good result outside of MN, and she didn't cross the threshold. And Biden's poor showing just made Bloomberg viable. If Biden underperforms in the next 3 states, Bloomberg's Super Tuesday plan (which most of us thought was crazy) now doesn't appear so crazy. And with probable mixed results in the next 3 and ST, all 5 remaining candidates will likely remain in the race for at least Feb-Mar. ST and the rest of March has 27 states voting, including most of the big ones, so most delegates will be pledged by March 31. The likelihood of any 1 candidate reaching 1990, just got quite a bit more remote. The best chance for someone reaching 1990 is probably for either Biden recovering quickly as front runner or quickly flaming out.
