I have not seen a Super Tuesday 2 thread.

It's make or break for Sanders. If he doesn't win MI tonight, yes it's time he drops out.

What to watch as Biden and Sanders face off in six states on Tuesday - CNNPolitics

Detroit, Michigan (CNN)The one-on-one showdown between former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders begins Tuesday with a test of the candidates' ability to win in the crucial general election battleground state of Michigan.
The state, along with Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington, all vote on the second Super Tuesday of the primary.

So, where we hangin'?
 
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three! All Biden!
 
It's looking bad for Bernie to win.

That doesn't mean he needs to drop out, even when it's mathematically over, and stop letting his supporters vote for him, as the most supported if not voted for candidate, getting more delegates for leverage at the convention, continuing to argue his case to the voters to push Biden on issues.
 
look likes Biden will win this primary Bernie just cant finish the deal:shock:
 
I do suggest that on April 1, berniesanders.com post a headline, "Bernie suspends campaign and endorses donald trump" to make the centrists lose their minds.
 
Looks like we wait for the official MI call for Biden, then call it a primary! Kind of an anticlimactic night, to be honest.
 
That was fast! Alright, call it a primary!
 
The primary is over.

The only goal now is to help Joe Biden beat Donald Trump.

Yep. Come-on Bernie. Come join us - quick! We love you, bro. But most importantly, we respect you. Don't change; just come join us. There's plenty of room on our side!

:thumbs:

(let's hope)

It's over.

Sanders might want to make one last stand against Biden next week though. I'd say that if Biden has a decent debate that shows he can handle a one on one, and then sweeps the board next week, it will be hard for Sanders to justify staying in the race any longer.

Then again, he stayed in for a long time in 2016, when the math was even worse, and so did Cruz on the other side.

Oh. shut up with 'Bernie join us'. Bernie has already said he'll endorse Biden if nominated. Stop spreading the lie that there's a question about that and gloating that your guy very likely won.

Unlike the Republicans, who nominated the crazy man as their champion, the Dems fought back and went with sane. Now, it's time to dunk Trump.
 
once again, it's probably over months before i get to vote. that's a ridiculous system, and it continues to piss me off. however, i will still vote against the incumbent and his sycophants.

Bernie will have to respond much more rapidly to the end of the nominating process when it comes than he did in 2016. Unless he quells the Bros quickly they will shoot themselves out of a cannon with a blizzard of Trumpette like ugliness aimed at Joe Biden and the Dem "establishment" and anybody else they think has done them wrong.

Biden for his part should pretty quickly at the end extend a hand to the Bernies as long as Bernie immediately gets his supporters under control and keeps them from shooting themselves out of a cannon. Biden should make some modifications to his platform to accommodate the Bernies. He should do this not necessarily for votes. Bernie could not even get them out to vote for HIM this year. So I am not sure they will come out to vote for Biden no matter what Biden does. But Biden should still do it to keep the Bernies from going ballistic which is their tendency. What votes he gets out of them I would consider icing on the cake.
 
Well, Bernie won my county. That's pretty cool. But, it looks like he will lose my state.
 
Time for Bernie to drop out.

Hey, mine was a sincere request to end the primary - and come together. No gloating at all, but pragmatic reality accompanied by a sincere & respectful desire for unity.

There's no need to drag this out any longer.
