Doesn't looks it's Bernie's year.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/20/democratic-convention-bernie-sanders-superdelegates-nominee

I've seen it said in Twitter that if he wins the "popular" vote in the primaries there's no way they can deny him.

What does "win the popular vote" mean?

A majority? Or just the most.

Unless its the former or close to it, forget it.

Majority......that's what they're claiming. Bernie bro's going to burn Milwaukee to the ground if they cheat him out of it

The average American has one testicle.
thats only in a certain lower Manhattan neighborhood .

Homophobia .... nice
?? His username? Smarten up kid.

Doesn't take too much these for someone to call "homophobia!". Somebody missed the obvious point that half of Americans have no testicles at all...
i look forward to his apology

Delegate count:
Buttigieg 22
Sanders 21
Warren 8
Klobuchar 7
Biden 6
Bloomberg 0

Betting odds for 2020 winner:

Trump 8/13
Sanders 4/1
Bloomberg 9/1
Biden 20/1

Bloomberg took a hiding last night. He was like a duck out of water. Warren obliterated him. Will be interesting to see how that affects the polling numbers over the next few days, and if his high burn rate can take the bad look off it. I just wish he'd get out of the race and put his money into something useful like flipping the 4 senate seats we're going to need.
Odds update:
Trump: 8/13
Sanders: 7/2
Bloomberg: 8/1
Biden: 22/1

Bernie's odds moving in the right direction. Biden, not so much.

Bloomberg: 10/1
Biden: 25/1

Democratic candidate:
Sanders: 5/6
Bloomberg: 4/1
Buttigieg:11/1

Interesting that Chrome still thinks "Buttigieg" is a typo.

2020 winner:

Democratic candidate:

Bloomberg and Buttigeig getting it tight.

Bernie's odds are slipping slightly in the general election, but he's still the favourite to get the nomination.

2020 winner:
Trump: 8/13
Sanders: 10/3
Biden: 9/1
Bloomberg: 12/1

Democratic candidate:
Sanders: 10/11
Biden: 13/4
Bloomberg: 6/1
Buttigieg:20/1

This stock market crash might throw a spanner in the works. It was this kind of October surprise that worked in Obama's favor in 2008 when "the fundamentals of our economy [were] strong" until they weren't. Trump might cruise to reelection if the economy stays strong, but the coronavirus could change all that.

Get in there Bernie!

According to the stable genius, the 15% drop in the stock market is because of the Democrats and the media.

Yes. Did you hear about how he blamed Monday and Tuesday's losses on the Democratic debate that happened on Tuesday night? That's no joke.

Will the Dems get the blame for the funding cuts to the CDC, their pandemic planning and their testing labs if they're found wanting in the response to this outbreak?

Perhaps Mike Pence can pray that it won't come to that.

Apparently Rush Limbaugh has been telling his listeners "its just the common cold folks!" and that's its all a conspiracy to bring down Trump.

I guess he's a little confused by the fact that some causes of the common cold are also coronaviruses.

In other right wing science news, a man-eating tiger and a domestic kitten are both "just cats".

Rush is so wrong about the corona virus that even the lunatics at Free Republic criticized him for it

Hillary Clinton(!): 33/1

This is the first we've seen Trump's odds moving in a while. Could be the coronavirus effect. Damned if I know why they're showing odds for Hillary instead of the likes of Warren or Klobuchar who are actually in the race.

I know, let's antagonise Trump supporters. What harm can that do?
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and

Klobuchar is out

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/newsirelandgeneralelection/klobuchar-ends-campaign-for-president-endorses-biden

Widely regarded as potentially strong general election contender against Trump, Klobuchar's centrist positions against Medicare for All and a Green New Deal put her out of step with the activist base that is more influential in party primaries and caucuses.

I wonder if those odds are not just about electability. If Biden overtakes Sanders as the more likely nominee, it'll be interesting to see the effect that has on Biden's odds of beating Trump.

Expect Lindsay Graham to announce all kinds of Hunter Biden and Ukrainian election interference  investigations by the end of the week if Biden does well tomorrow.

Trump is betting on a strong economy to win.
