2020 Democratic Presidential Primary

The more I think about post-Super Tuesday the more I think Bernie and his supporters need to change their message. They claim to be running against everyone else. They can’t show up with 35% of the delegates and claim be representing everyone else.

Democrats don’t unify for shit especially around a campaign that’s not trying to unify.

The campaign strongly believes that the message is unifying and doesn’t seem to understand why 60% of democratic voters aren’t unifying behind it. The message is focused on two things: lifting the 99% up while bringing the 1% down a notch. From their perspective everyone but the 1% should be unified behind the plan and they don’t get why people resist it, especially in favor of a one percenter spending a few 100 million of his own money to buy the White House. They believe the message speaks for its self and that if people just understood it they’ll unify behind, so they just keep repeating the message and some messengers get annoyed when people don’t get it.
 
As avalon posted Bernie is the only candidate in the last 50 years to win the popular vote in the first 3 primaries. This idea that people aren’t unifying around his message is counter-factual.

I'll take a straight up bet that Trump's wins election...Not going to go 40+ states, although I feel it's very possible. But sure, CreamyG gone forever if Trump isn't reelected and District gone forever if Trump loses. I'm good with that

Let's get into some southern states before we get too carried away.

I thought so. 40 states is a fantasy.
 
Let's see how Bernie does in the Carolina's, VA, GA, AR, KY, TN, LA and FL. Then let's see how he does in Texas. I also don't see him running away with things in the Midwest.

He tied an inexperienced Mayor in Iowa. Didn't steamroll in NH(Which he should have), although it was a comfortable win. Nevada is the first state that he's shown true strength and momentum, IMO.

Bernie has a long ways to go before he has the pleasure of getting steamrolled by Trump.
