There was a peaceful transition of power from Obama to Trump.
No there clearly was not. Did you miss the tweet from the so-called whistleblower's atty. in Jan 2017? "coup has started...." That was not a peaceful transition. This is something that really bothers me as a liberal. President Washington started the long tradition of peaceful transition by stepping down after 2 terms, when some wanted to make him president for life.
Continuing a White House ritual, President George W. Bush left a note in the Oval Office for President-elect Barack Obama, wishing him well as he takes the reins of the executive branch.
We are throwing that away. I'm an old union guy. One of my mentors told me they used to bust unions with revolvers and billy clubs, and now they use lawyers and lobbyists. That they no longer use revolvers does not equate to peacefulness.
Former 2020 candidate and author Marianne Williamson endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the Democratic nomination on Sunday at his rally in Austin, Texas.
In a surprise appearance at the rally, Williamson told attendees that Sanders's strong performance a day earlier in the Nevada caucuses made it clear that the energy in the 2020 cycle was "unquestionably" with his campaign.
"What happened in Nevada on Saturday was extraordinary, and the energy is unquestionably with Bernie," Williamson said in a statement released through Twitter. "I am honored to endorse him," she added.
I think the key now is: when does Warren drop out. Since she accused Bernie of misogyny in a debate, she has been floundering. I've seen some reports that her campaign is now having money issues. 11.5% is not a good showing for a candidate who was once the overwhelming favorite of betting markets.
When Warren drops out, Bernie has a clear path to the nomination. An easy layup for the Brooklyn-born basketball aficionado:

Month Richard Nixon (R) % George McGovern (D) %
May 53% 34%
June 53% 37%
July 56% 37%
August 57% 31%
64% 30%
September 61% 33%
October 60% 34%
59% 36%
November 62% 38%
McGovern was regularly 20 or 30 points behind Nixon in the polls.
If the voting were instead today, Sanders would walk away with a commanding delegate lead.
The question now is will his support hold at this level for one more week.
There’s really two events that could knock him off imo, the debate tonight, and the sc primary. If another candidate finds effectively lines of attack against him or if he loses the sc primary badly to Biden, I think those are the only chances left for moderate Ds to stop him.
