Seeing those Tulsi Gabbard poll #'s is like Ken Jennings and James Holshouser vs. me playing Jeopardy.

I don't think he likes the idea of picking between Bernie, Biden, or Bloomberg.
I don't think anybody will drop out before Tuesday. There's not enough time for it to make a real difference. Plus, nobody wants to potentially help Bloomberg.
I think I would be OK with this.
I think I would too.
Warren still polls #2 or #3 nationally. She definitely should stay in.
Okay then. I disagree with you that Trump would be the only origin of chaos in a Sanders v. Trump matchup.
If it ends up being Biden, I would love for Warren to be the VP, but Biden himself is floating Harris (who I think would be a good pick for him).
Sanders, the frontrunner in the race for the Democratic nomination since he won the Nevada caucuses, is betting that his campaign’s strategic early investments in a California ground game will translate into votes from working-class communities typically forgotten in state and national races.
Last year, Sanders was the first 2020 candidate to open an office in Riverside, an Inland Empire city. The billionaires in the race, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, later followed suit.
“You have to speak to those voters. You have to organize, not just translate an English flyer into Spanish,” Rafael Návar, the campaign’s California director, said in a recent interview. That means partnering with, and hiring, longtime activists: “The folks who have been fighting on the ground to improve the conditions of working people can see themselves reflected in a presidential campaign that is not only committed to those values as well, but is going to lift up their individual fights.”
That kind of localized engagement can energize activists who are trusted in their communities to volunteer. Hernandez has hosted “Bernie walks” in the region, encouraging his neighbors to vote for the candidate who has fought for better jobs at Amazon and other warehouses in their community.
Ana Gonzalez, a 33-year-old Sanders supporter and single mother who has fought the warehouses, said voters like her were used to feeling under-represented in the local Democratic party. With Sanders, “I feel like we’re finally being seen. And voters are seeing organizers they know and have relationships with work with the campaign.”
The DNC would definitely be pushing for Harris, but if Biden wanted to try to at least pretend to reach out toward progressive Democrats, Warren would by far be the better choice.
And for as good as I think a Buttigieg/Pence hypothetical VP debate would be, Warren/Pence or Harris/Pence would both be even better.
