Buttigieg apparently dropping out to help Biden get over 15% thresholds to get delegates on super Tuesday.

don't forget cruz announced carly in the spring as vp pick to try to beat T.....
I don’t think he has enough support to get a majority of delegates, and the less the vote is split amongst other candidates, the more likely it is that it will coalesce behind someone who’s not Bernie.Except way more people actually like Bernie..
It’s not because they think he’ll lose. It’s cuz they are scared he’ll winI don’t think he has enough support to get a majority of delegates, and the less the vote is split amongst other candidates, the more likely it is that it will coalesce behind someone who’s not Bernie.
I really don’t care who gets the nomination, but the DNC seems to think a Sanders candidacy would lose to Trump in a landslide. All their efforts are going to be behind Biden now, and Pete and Amy are clearing the way for their supporters to consolidate with those efforts.
this is why Buttigieg is strategically (but seemingly illogically) dropping out just before super tuesday, just as the little rat was likely paid to do.I don’t think he has enough support to get a majority of delegates, and the less the vote is split amongst other candidates, the more likely it is that it will coalesce behind someone who’s not Bernie.
LOL no. The truth is that the DNC would much rather have 4 more years of Trump than to lose their control of the party to a Sanders nomination.I really don’t care who gets the nomination, but the DNC seems to think a Sanders candidacy would lose to Trump in a landslide.
With two dropping BEFORE Super Tuesday the fix or attempted fix is in for Biden.
tomorrow will be very telling - major pressure on warren to back bernie now too..Except way more people actually like Bernie..
Yet no pressure on Bloomberg.. loltomorrow will be very telling - major pressure on warren to back bernie now too..
to be fair he hasn't been on a ballot yet so will be interesting to see how he does. and he is polling way above her.Yet no pressure on Bloomberg.. lol
Two things I’ll point out.The DNC uses peoples' fear of Trump as a tool in their arsenal... in the exact same manner that the GOP uses peoples' fear of Muslims, LGBT+, immigration, etc.
The nominee doesn’t automatically gain control of the DNC.The truth is that the DNC would much rather have 4 more years of Trump than to lose their control of the party to a Sanders nomination.
Klobuchar is one of the two who have already dropped out.It might be 3. Supposedly Kloubuchar is dropping out and will endorse Biden.
There's a reason why these 2 old white men are the final candidates.Two things I’ll point out.
There is no anti-LGBT agenda on Trump’s part. He has appointed five openly gay ambassadors — one of whom, Richard Grenell, he appointed to be the first openly gay member of a presidential cabinet. Trump has also been promoting a global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality, something Obama must have forgotten to do.
Secondly, Democratic voters have rejected all the women, all the people of colour, and the only openly gay man to ever run for the Democratic nomination, in favour of two old, white, straight men. It’s going to get harder and harder for them to accuse Republicans of being the party of racism, sexism and homophobia, when they keep rejecting anyone who isn’t a white straight male.
The DNC doesn’t want radical change. They want more of the status quo with some small pebbles thrown to the base to keep them quiet. They most definately don’t want sanders winning and taxing the hell out of them. Sanders is a major problem for them, his following even more so.The nominee doesn’t automatically gain control of the DNC.
