View Full Version : 2020 Primary/Super Tuesday - Including CO
VOTE FOR BIDEN
Independents: Deadline is today. Just trying to keep Bernie from the nomination or our economy WILL tank, 100%.
Besides, Biden would make for a hilarious run off with Trump, hairy legs and kids and all.
....Now back to your regularly scheduled virus programming...

I'd rather Bernie run, no one other than the far far left would vote for him, even a large number of Democrats would either stay home or vote the other way. Now with Biden I could see idiots in the middle say "he isn't all that bad, I could vote for him" as well as Democrats coming back to their side.
Where are you getting this info on what type of people would vote for Bernie (or anyone else) or not? From people you know?
Bernie polled better against Trump than Hillary did. Not only do you have all D party members voting against Trump, but Bernie draws out a ton of retirees, and also basement dwelling sea slugs who otherwise won't vote. Just his nomination will throw the economy into recession, which would be blamed on Trump and further heighten the risk. Even Russia backs Bernie because they want a divided nation. Do t underestimate his risk of being elected.
But mostly, if you don't want to be in a major recession starting in a month or two, get those independent voted out for Biden to help balance out all the Bernie fans we have in this state (transients, liberal retirees, intentional under-employed, etc)

Not only is Bernie easier to beat, but if we don't happen to beat him he'll be a lame duck from day one. Nobody on either side will work with him. Biden (and Bloomberg) will get broader support from Establishment GOP slugs like Mittens. Oh and I think your comments apply to Bloomberg as well (although his only path to nomination victory is a brokered convention where he'll buy it via back room deals).
It's always amazed me how GOP praises the worst candidates. Need I remind people that Obama was elected? And yet, ya'll celebrated when he got the nomination instead of Hillary. Bernie ... Is that. All over again. "Trump" would send this economy into the worst crash we've ever seen, according to the press. Stock crash and recovery was because of Bernie's gains and losses. But anyway, this is a Coronavirus thread, /hijack over/, can't knock sense into people, if they want to play Russian roulette with a semi auto, nobody's going to convince them otherwise.

America is better off having put up with Obama for 8 years than putting up with Hillary for 8 days. I think an argument could be made that McCain may have defeated Hillary ... but I can't honestly see how a McCain presidency would have been any better than an Obama presidency ... with the possible exception of Obamacare.

Even in Liberal Boulder people understand what voting for Bernie or the "idea" of Bernie means for their pocket books and investment portfolios. Why do you think the DNC is so eager to take him out in any way possible?
Bernie has very loud followers which are amplified in the primary system. He does not have widespread support.
As for Corona Virus.. I topped off a night of margaritas at the Rio with a Corona and woke up with an acute case of Corona Virus Saturday morning. A breakfast burrito at the Village Coffee Shop kept it in check though.

I do not have a data or metrics to do any poli sci, but I know what Oxart is saying.
Many were happy that Hitlery didnt made it on 2008.
Obama was for change.
Bernie is for revolution.
Those 2 words are very popular for young, poor, unhappy, disapointed, etc
Interesting to hear the talking heads talking about 'big turnouts' for the Democrat vote. I'm not sure they have any idea how many "unaffiliated" voters and those in open primaries partook in 'Operation Chaos' to potentially tilt the candidate selection looking forward to the general election?
I figured there would be quite a few Bernie votes from the imports and usual suspects so I went with Biden. I've been enjoying watching the establishment Dems conflicting with Bernie.
Mayor Mike scores 5 American Samoa delegates - after spending $500M in race (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/super-tuesday-results)
Polls close in 30 minutes.
Voted for Biden as well. Lots of demographics aren't really his fan, but the economy doesn't react negatively to him. I'm not much of one for wanting another recession right before an election, which would result in 2008 all over again, but potentially, with Bernie.
ETA: Biden also has so many Gaffe's that even his president doesn't want to endorse him unless he ABSOLUTELY HAS TO. Biden would have lots of fun stories before November, probably stuff like how he beat the first Corona Virus back in '58, and those chinese wimmen sure did rub his leg hair as a good luck charm when he visited the whore house. *Oops, Biden clearly meant poor house.
It looks like Bloomberg spent about $600 Million to come in 3rd.
Yeah, Biden doesn't know where he is half the time. I can just imagine him in a debate with Trump.
Polls just closed and Fox News has called Colorado for Bernie

Couldn't he have simply bought all of American Samoa for $500M?
Maybe he already owns it? [Coffee]
Was just looking at the stats for Colorado.
On the Republican side, 38% have reported in with Trump receiving 311,983 votes, 92.33%, 37 delegates.
On the Democrat side, 1% have reported in;
D Michael Bloomberg 5,204 30.56% 0
D Bernie Sanders 5,112 30.02% 0
D Joe Biden 4,283 25.15% 0
D Elizabeth Warren 1,684 9.89% 0
D Tulsi Gabbard 253 1.49% 0
I have to wonder why it takes so much longer to count Democrat votes.
26% In:
D Bernie Sanders 117,509 36.01% 0
D Michael Bloomberg 78,579 24.08% 0
D Joe Biden 67,819 20.78% 0
D Elizabeth Warren 53,106 16.27% 0
D Tulsi Gabbard 3,953 1.21% 0
Republican with 52% in:
R Donald Trump 427,964 92.62% 37
R Bill Weld 16,413 3.55% 0
R Joe Walsh 8,543 1.85% 0
R Matthew Matern 4,793 1.04% 0
ETA: I'm figuring out the percentages reporting in. When there are more registered Democrats than Republicans, the D percentages accumulate slower.
I guess all of that historical Bloomberg spending in Colorado is paying off.
NBC is better on terms of stats, number, poli sci data. Other network talks about opinion and their professional experiences/opinion. NBC mainly talks about polls and numbers.

Obama was a horrendous president but Hillary would have been even worse. Between the five Dems who were still running, the only one with a shred of honesty was Tulsi Gabbard so I voted for her. She may be a loon but she's an honest loon -- which may be why she only got 1.2% in Colorado and less than 1% in MA and other Dem strongholds. Between Bernie and Biden, no contest ... I'll tolerate the incompetent delusional schmuck over the fundamentally dishonest and corrupt pseudo-communist. Glad to see Mayor Mike wasted more of his wealth.

If it prevents even 1 gun control expense, isn't it worth it? [Coffee]
NBC News just ended. Went to CNN Live on YouTube.
I expect more of a market recovery tomorrow. Attributed to Coronavirus, for some obscure reason, of course. (Unless something changes overnight and the country "burns", but I doubt it)

Yup - GOP has to be careful with Bern because there is a real risk of him being elected if he gets the nomination - I'd rather the enemy we know than the guy that's so far left, he fell off the edge of the flat earth. Once social programs are created or expanded, there's no going back. It's not something a later POTUS can "fix". People immediately become dependent on the witch's tit.

And i'll say it again, again. Had The d's not fuked bernie over, he would have won the election. His momentum in 16 was (IMO) close to obama's with the number of young as well as disillusioned voters. He could have taken it, as could hrc, had the bernie voters not stayed home .
This year is an unknown. When you throw in how many never trump R's will endorse biden.
The real unknown is................How many people are once again fed up with the continual attacks on trump. be it russia, stormy, whistle blower
. Or what's the latest one? He demands the people in the white house place all rolls of toilet paper so they feed from the top, or was it bottom.
Still waiting on schiff's irrefutable evidence, for that .

Bloomberg is out.
Looks like a brokered convention. About half of the Dems will be butt-hurt whichever way it goes (in other words, see ya' Bernie!).

Here's hoping the Bernbots become never-Bideners and stay home in droves (or write in).
DNC wants no part of Sanders. He was a fun distraction and fringe motivator until he managed to bring socialism right to the front of the line rather than something that could be poo poo'd publicly (if not endorsed more privately).
An interesting interactive Colorado map: https://kdvr.com/colorado-primary-results-2020/
I found it interesting that DougCo was one of the 8 that went to Biden and the only one in the metro. Bloomberg got a few counties, primarily in the plains along the eastern border.
Some of the Bernie Bros have stated that they would vote for Trump if they didn't get the nomination. Then again, how many libtards said they'd move out of the country if Trump won?

The video misrepresents the turnout numbers for Colorado. He only picked the top 3 Dems, while Liz Warren in 4th got 130K+ votes. There were also those of us that crossed over since the R incumbent was a lock. I'd be interested in knowing the total participation numbers from both sides compared to prior elections.
Apparently the Warren campaign is figuring out what to do next. She'll probably be packing up the teepee and heading back to her home state of Massachussetts.
...where she came in third.
Biden increases delegate lead over Sanders after more allocated in Texas (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/biden-increases-delegate-lead-over-sanders-after-more-allocated-in-texas/ar-BB10NoIH)
I've never understood the internal games that the DNC play with regard to allocating delegates. They're constantly playing with the numbers without regard to what the people voted for. Another 15% of the delegates are 'superdelegates' that can influence the outcome at the convention.
Biden won Texas — which, with 228 pledged delegates, was the second-largest Super Tuesday prize — netting 34.5 percent of the vote in the primary, compared to 29.9 percent for Sanders. Mike Bloomberg, who dropped out of the race on Wednesday, got 14.4 percent.
As a result, according to NBC News, Biden has, as of Thursday morning, been awarded 94 delegates in Texas. Sanders has netted 78 in the state, and Bloomberg has been awarded 4. Elizabeth Warren, who dropped out of the race Thursday morning, got 3.
Only 49 delegates in Texas remain unallocated.
The latest allocation in Texas increases Biden's lead in the overall delegate count. As of Thursday morning, Biden had 565 pledged delegates, compared to 506 for Sanders, according to NBC News.
In addition to his surprise victory in Texas on Tuesday, Biden won nine other states, according to NBC News projections. The biggest prize of the night, however, California, remained unclaimed.
The total delegate haul from Super Tuesday has yet to be completely determined because many states have yet to fully report their results — including California, where 415 delegates are at stake, and where Sanders is leading the popular vote 34 percent to 25 percent, with 57 percent of the state counted. NBC News has not yet projected in California.
California is notoriously slow to count its ballots, but, as of Wednesday night, NBC News had allocated 161 of its delegates to Sanders, and 100 to Biden. Warren had received 3.
On Super Tuesday, Biden won more states and by wider margins than many observers had expected, easily making up his delegate deficit coming out of the first four early contests. His showing puts him in position to potentially win the 1,991 delegates needed to secure an outright majority and clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.
In addition to Texas, he prevailed in the Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Minnesota and Massachusetts Democratic primaries, according to NBC News projections, sweeping the South with his strength among black voters and making an inroad in the upper Midwest after a key endorsement from Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. He was also the apparent winner in the Maine Democratic primary, according to NBC News.
Sanders, meanwhile, won his home state of Vermont, Colorado and Utah.
The goal of the Democratic presidential primary, however, is to amass delegates to capture the nomination, not popular votes, and winning states does not necessarily mean a candidate will win the most delegates. Candidates need to cross a 15 percent threshold to win any delegates, which are awarded both at the statewide level and usually by congressional district.
