So Mayor Pete with 26 delegates, and a win in Iowa, drops out, and Warren with her 8 delegates is still in? Hmmm.

Warren got 18.5% in Iowa, 9.2% in NH, 9.7% in NV, and 8% in SC. And Pete drops, and she stays????

I'm going to watch the pattern of droppings. Something tells me that Warren is being propped up in order to siphon votes from Bernie. I have no proof, but the numbers tell a tale. Keep a sharp eye on the droppings pattern.

The Massachussets primary is tomorrow. Bernie held a narrow lead in the polls there last time I looked. Don't be surprised to see Warren get out tomorrow, in Boston, after the results are in.

I am actually quite surprised that Klobuchar did not hold out and wait until tomorrow to get out herself. She is in the lead in Minnesota, her home state, which also holds its primary tomorrow.

The Democrats really pushed her hard. It will be interesting to see what the payoff is for her standing down today like she did.

The Dems are obviously terrified of Bernie winning this and will do pretty much anything to make sure he is not the nominee.

I just voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primary in my state. I am 'Feeling the Bern'!

Any other right leaning folks out there who are with me? Are you 'Feeling the Bern' today?

So, just for clarification purposes, does this mean I am a Democrat now?

Michael Bloomberg is doubling down. He says he is not getting out of the race, regardless of the fact that the Democrat party establishment has picked their candidate - Joe Biden - and is clearly moving to push everyone else out of the race in order to fight of the candidacy of Bernie Sanders.

Bloomberg: I’m not dropping out

The former mayor of New York insists he belongs in the Democratic field. Yes, he’s a Democrat. No, he shouldn’t drop out.

A defiant Mike Bloomberg beat back criticism of himself and his campaign Monday in a Fox News town hall, arguing that he is, indeed, a Democrat and has no reason to follow fellow moderates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar out of the presidential race.

“I am a registered Democrat, and last time I checked, you could change parties,” Bloomberg said at his town hall in Manassas, Va., a Super Tuesday state.

He argued that Democrats will want him because of his positions on taxes, climate change and guns, not to mention the money he’s poured into such causes and the Democratic House candidates he helped fund in the 2018 midterms.

Oh brother.
James Comey says he's backing Biden for president

The former FBI director said on Twitter he pulled the lever for the party “dedicated to restoring values” in the White House.

So, who will pile into the Democrat's presidential clown car? Here are a few names that I predict. Whoever else you think is going to run, please do let us know.

Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton
Joe Biden
Elizabeth Warren
Terry McCauliffe
Rahm Emmanuel
Michael Bloomberg
Eric Holder
Kamala Harris
Corey Booker
Elizabeth Warren
Kristen Gillibrand
+ maybe a dozen more

And who will be the final four? Any guesses? And why do you think that?

I think that the final three will be Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. Kamala Harris from the "Identity Politics" and "Political correctness" wing of the party. Bernie Sanders from the hardcore socialist wing of the party. And Joe Biden from the establishment elite wing of the party. As far as a fourth, I am leaving open a spot for a surprise.

The clown car is down to two. There is no way forward for Warren and Bloomberg. Sanders is getting his ass kicked tonight.


Just as predicted 6 months ago.

Biden will be the candidate.


I was really hoping for a brokered convention just for the riots. I would have been sweet justice to see the Bro's and ANTIFA beating moderate Dem's for a change.
