The Super Tuesday Thread

The media is overdoing the Democratic primary. Britt Hume just said, “hundreds of thousands of people are saying whatever and blah, blah, blah...”. I looked at the screen and said, no, a hundred thousand people said that. Look at the ridiculous low turnout. One would think the so-called Trump hatred would have Democrats coming out by the millions in every state if they really want a strong candidate to defeat Trump.

It’s a crock, folks.
 
So the Democrats have three grumpy old white men and a shrill hag on life support to choose from. What kind of choice is that?
 
Surprised to see Biden win MN. Everyone thinks he has the best chance of beating Trump, but I'm not so sure.

Everyone who pays attention to such things very closely understands that, typically, one party gets 2 terms and the other party gets 2 terms. Rarely, one party gets 3 or more terms. Even more rarely, one party gets only 1 term. In the last 100+ years, that was Jimmy Carter. That's it.

So, when you have such a small chance of winning, you don't go out there and run, if you're actually good enough to win the nomination in a year you have a chance to win. All the candidates who ran for the Democrats this year are all a little bit better known now than they were a year ago, so if they run again, they might have a slightly better chance of winning the nomination, in the kind of year the non incumbent party has a better chance of winning.

Did Mondale have a better chance of beating Reagan, or did McGovern have a better chance of beating Nixon? Both lost 49 states.

Biden is Mondale and Sanders is McGovern. This isn't a year the Democrats can really win, it's so rare to beat an incumbent party after 1 term.

Indeed. In Tennessee, the bluest red state there ever was. Trump got around 323,000 votes. The vote total for all the Dems still in the race was about 391,000, and we are in full crisis survival mode. That’s quite a comparison. It has been very interesting to look at Dem totals. There hasn’t been an overwhelming decision one way or another. There are many, many people who are not in favor of anyone. Top vote getters haven’t been winning overwhelmingly because they are just not that interesting,

Yep. It's pretty much a toss up that doesn't matter. Nobody stands a chance against Trump as long as the economy holds up. Coronavirus is the only thing that can stop him.
 
Biden pulling ahead now in Texas. This nomination seems to be over. Bernie should do well in the next group of primaries on the 10th, but he needed to run away with it to get the nomination. There's no way they are letting him have it now.

It looks like Bernie Sanders is going to be screwed by his own party yet again. He clearly had the popular vote against Hillary, but the establishment chose Hillary, and Biden is so weak that there was virtually no chance for him to rack up these delegates based on his "popularity," but today all the headlines say things like: "Back from the dead!" in regards to Biden.

He was clearly chosen to win the nomination this year, and Bernie was chosen to go down in defeat, again. I see many predicting a "brokered" convention for the Democrats, but I highly doubt it. As others above have stated, it is a foregone conclusion that Trump "wins" a second term.
 
Looks like current NBC news is showing Biden 513 Bernie 461 . Is that correct ?
