Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looks like only Bernie and Warren will be viable in California: https://www.kqed.org/news/11803348/kqed-poll-bernie-sanders-dominates-the-field-in-california I hope Bernie ends up winning 66-75% of the delegates allocated, while warren taking the rest. That'll be a huge boost to his campaign. I expect some southern states including Florida to go to other candidates though. So I hope California makes up for that.

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If this happens, or Bernie overperforms at all there, or miraculously is the only person viable... Whew lord, its over. This is the biggest opportunity for Bernie to make his chances of reaching a majority even closer of a reality, and that polling has been consistently strong for months now for him + the resources being spent there and in Texas... Bernie's team came to WIN, they had confidence in their fundraising, and they have budgeted their money well it seems. They've been looking towards the future while candidates like Pete and Warren and Amy and even Joe have staked all of their money and momentum on individual states like IA, NH, and SC. If Bernie becomes the nominee, the biggest story to campaigns down the road is that you must be able to generate genuine enthusiasm as a candidate in order to create fundraising and not rely on media narratives and positive coverage for exposure. Bernie got into this position DESPITE media being against him. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derpmonster 22,412 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This time california is super important. He's going to get an amazing lead. Expected to win over 200 delegates from CA alone. #2 is around 80. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over at that point. I still wouldn't be too sure. A lot will depend also on Florida and Texas. If he wins CA, FL, TX, he has the nomination on lock. If he wins CA and TX, he has the plurality on lock. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's gonna hurt any possibility of progressive vote uniting. Warren is being very annoying and unrealistic right now.

She's not wrong, those are the rules, but staying in past her time just isn't right. If her goal is to push progressive ideas to the WH, standing back would be best after ST.

If her goal is to push progressive ideas to the WH, standing back would be best after ST. Exactly my point. She should stay for now hoping for a surprise win in California or something but it's not right to split votes when you're the so-called "pragmatic progressive"-- it's not pragmatic to do that. Especially if she loses Massachusetts, I think she should drop out. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, Warren, like Bernie, is an ambitious politician who believes they are the right person to be president. As long as they have support and cash, they’re gonna stay in the race.

Yes, but a candidate has to ask themselves if it really is worth it to stay in a race when they'll end up with 200 delegates of the required 1900. We'll have a more clear picture after ST.
